Features: The birth of life is great and sacred. Once upon a time, it was also so embarrassing to talk about. This book frankly and authentically tells the stories of 28 mothers giving birth. It is a book intended to explore women's inner life experiences. What is the truth of maternal life? What are the experiences and deep physiological and psychological situations when women meet a new life? This book uses the sociological life history method (also known as oral history), conducting in-depth interviews with 28 mothers who gave birth in the 1980s and 1990s, with different ages, education levels, and residential areas... Their experiences of childbirth are diverse, involving issues such as unmarried pregnant mothers, disability in the country, mothers who committed crimes due to childbirth, and the choice of giving birth to a boy or a girl during labor. It attempts to reflect the unique psychological experiences of pregnant women determined by contemporary Chinese social culture. The lack of recognition of childbirth experiences has too many historical and realistic reasons, making it a significant and fundamental human experience that has long been neglected. This book focuses on this field from the perspectives of humanities medicine and women's studies, treating it as an important theme to explore and research. It is not only to help women navigate life's critical moments but also to sincerely invite men and society to reflect on the sunshine of new life together.
