Chapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: Critical Health Communication and Feminism -- Chapter 3: Career Motivations for Doulas -- Chapter 4: Sisterhood: Sisters, Families, or Emotional Labour? -- Chapter 5: Medical Procedures and Discourses Around Women's Bodies -- Chapter 6: Disagreements and Conflicts: Who is in Charge of the Delivery Room? -- Chapter 7: Looking Forward -- Concluding Thoughts and A New Beginning.

This brief explores the resurgence of the role of doulas in the child birthing process in Chinese clinical settings, as a lens to understand comparative pre- and post-natal care worldwide. The demand for doulas in China is increasing, and the rise in the use of doulas is thought to be due to increasing dissatisfaction with current institutional maternity health care. Attention is focused on Chinese women's relationships with their bodies and on women's experiences of choice, agency, and access to health and reproductive services as well as maternal health care information and support. Chapters present an overview of the current experience of pre- and post- natal care in China. In addition, chapters explore interview data on how Chinese doulas construct multiple identities, in terms of serving as lactation consultants, child care providers, and child care educators for women during pregnancy and childbirth. Maternal Healthcare and Doulas in China will be of interest to researchers in public health and health policy, particularly with an interest in maternal health or Asian studies, as well as, health practitioners, and clinicians who are interested in issues related to women, maternity, health care, childbirth, and feminist research in China.
