Join us for a journey through the fascinating history of motherhood, media, and medical expertise! Yael interviews professors Bethany Johnson and Margaret Quinlan about the causes and consequences of medicalizing pregnancy and childbirth, and how technology and culture have long created a message that mothers are doing it all wrong. Learn why we need to change that message, and how we can. In this episode, we explore the following questions: How have different forms of mothering expertise grown over history, and how has that development impacted women’s experience in mothering? What are some of the ways that social media proliferates expertise? How does the message of “you’re doing it wrong” impact our experience? What is the difference between lay and technical expertise and why does it matter for our mothering experience How has postpartum care evolved over time and what does that mean for the modern mothering experience? What strategies can we employ to combat the messages of “you’re doing it wrong”? About Bethany Johnson and Margaret Quinlan Bethany L.
