<\/a>However, the medicalization of birth also points to some problems. Its overuse of technology has raised criticism and dissatisfaction, especially related to the clinical, physical and emotional consequences of the excess of interventions. The process of medicalization of birth and its consequences is a challenge for our society and has been mobilizing different fields of the political, technical and academic worlds.<\/p>\nMost studies carried out so far are important to show the current panorama of birth. However, there are only few works focusing on the transformations in the process of pregnancy and birth.<\/p>\n
This special issue seeks collaborations that reflect on the process of medicalization of childbirth in different countries, from a range of disciplinary perspectives, especially analysis focused on the technologies, practices and the increase of medical interventions in pregnancy and birth.<\/p>\n
