dc.description.abstract |
I argue in this article that the online natural birthing
community, Birth Without Fear, operates as a Health 2.0 space
where members reinscribe a new normal regarding disability
and pregnancy, a process that both empowers and
disempowers women. To explore this issue, I draw on concepts
and terminologies from cyberfeminist and feminist disability
studies. In using these methodologies, I bring attention to how
pregnant bodies are perceived as medically disabled and
highlight how Birth Without Fear both positively and
negatively shapes rhetorics of pregnancy on the web |
