I look forward to hosting Rebecca Jackson at the School of #HealthSciences next week. In addition to exploring potential for collaboration, she will give a talk 👇

I want to plug two papers in particular:
"Cervical measurements were taken primarily to influence the female body and control labor outcomes"

Screenshot of an abstract: The Cervimeter, Centimeters, and the Friedman Curve: A Historical Case of Imprecision Medicine Rebecca Jackson, PhD Bridging Fellow in Medical Humanities, Department of Philosophy at Durham University and the Measurement Lab within the Institute for Medical Humanities and Discovery Research Platform for Medical Humanities Abstract: In 1954, a young medical resident created a new dimension for measuring labour: change in dilatation rate over time, which he saw as allowing the woman’s own body to participate in the definition of what it meant for labour to be “arrested.” Yet, in constructing a “normal” standard curve of dilatation-over-time for guiding labour decisions, and constructing a “cervimeter” to be the (so-called) objective instrument for evidencing the shape of this curve, he unintentionally enabled a new dimension of labor to emerge: centimeters of dilation, today read as the state of labor progress. This talk explains how Emanuel Friedman’s cervimeter was key to evidencing his claims about the “sigmoidal” shape of the dilatation curve, originally intended to test research claims about caudal anesthesia. I explain how the cervimeter reified centimeters as a metric unit to be used for the measurement of labor (rather than merely an ordinal approximation of one feature) and enabled the later transformation of Friedman’s Curve from a graphical tool which was meant to conform to women into a tool which was used to conform them.

I’ve chosen to avoid #ultrasounds for this and any pregnancy, considering the wealth of information out there on how harmful it is to growing babies—

So we’re going the old school route and using a fetoscope to monitor Baby D’s heart 💗

17 weeks in, it wasn’t likely that my midwives would be able to hear anything..

But they did 🥹 And I’m absolutely elated 😭

This is an insane and sad story but at the end it had a suprising link to the abortion issue 40 years ago!

“Lemay was charged with criminal negligence causing death after a fetus died during delivery in 1985. She was found guilty in B.C. Supreme Court, but later acquitted on appeal after the Supreme Court of Canada ruled she couldn't be convicted because a fetus isn't a legal person.”

#WordWeavers 7/28 Any MC's that are pregnant or nursing on page?

Excellent question!

Branwen falls pregnant (weird term) with Gwern, Matholwch's heir. Gwern ends up playing a very critical role later, but is really only a footnote in the original text. I might be tempted to add some nursing scenes with Branwen in later drafts.

My wife is a CPM (certified practicing midwife) so we are very breastfeeding positive in my house.

I shared this a few days earlier, but here it is again!
#Midwifery

Branwen smiled, but even as she rested her face in the hollow of Matholwch’s neck, a strange sensation quivered in her stomach. She rose from their bed and staggered to the chamber window, only gaining her husband’s attention as she vomited into the early morning air. That afternoon, royal physicians were brought in, all to examine the state of the queen, to measure her humours, and to apply leeches if necessary. Matholwch waited anxiously, keeping court, as his doctors assessed Branwen for any ailments. At last, a page boy rushed in and bade the king come to the Queen at once. Matholwch charged into the bed chamber to see his consort surrounded by wizened old men, grumbling to themselves and fiddling with their robes. Branwen sat upright in her bed with a stony expression carved into her face. “Mighty King,” she addressed her husband. “Might I trouble you to find me a single woman physician in your keep? These men, skilled and knowledgeable as they may be, seemed to have forgotten their anatomy lessons.” A few hours later, the king’s sentry escorted a local midwife from the village into the queen’s chambers. She emerged in less than ten minutes with a joyous smile. “The Saints bless thee, my King!” The midwife pronounced. “The Queen is with child! Already a month and a half along, and healthy as can be!”
