The Zero Trimester: Pre-Pregnancy Care and the Politics of Reproductive Risk by

Description: The Zero Trimester by Miranda R. Waggoner Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A healthy pregnancy is now defined well before pregnancy even begins. This book examines the dramatic shift in ideas about reproductive risk and birth outcomes over the last several decades, unearthing how these ideas intersect with the politics of womens health and motherhood at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Publisher Description In the United States, a healthy pregnancy is now defined well before pregnancy begins. Public health messages encourage women of reproductive age to anticipate motherhood and prepare their bodies for healthy reproduction—even when pregnancy is not on the horizon. Some experts believe that this pre-pregnancy care model will reduce risk and ensure better birth outcomes than the prenatal care model. Others believe it represents yet another attempt to control womens bodies. The Zero Trimester explores why the task of perfecting pregnancies now takes up a womans entire reproductive life, from menarche to menopause. Miranda R. Waggoner shows how the zero trimester rose alongside shifts in medical and public health priorities, contentious reproductive politics, and the changing realities of womens lives in the twenty-first century. Waggoner argues that the emergence of the zero trimester is not simply related to medical and health concerns; it also reflects the power of culture and social ideologies to shape both population health imperatives and womens bodily experiences.
