Description

Tracing women’s experiences of miscarriage and termination for foetal anomaly in the second trimester, before legal viability, shows how such events are positioned as less ‘real’ or significant when the foetal being does not, or will not, survive.

Invisible Labours describes the reproductive politics of this category of pregnancy loss in England.

It shows how second trimester pregnancy loss produces specific medical and social experiences, revealing an underlying teleological ontology of pregnancy.

Some women then understand their pregnancy through kinship with the unborn baby.
