Hi Denis,
Vangie Bergum's work goes into that direction. She used phenomenology in her first study, which text in Woman to
mother very much provides an ethical feeling.
Based on this kind of work she co- authored Relational ethics, which also goes into the field of nursing
and medicine.
It would depend however on which perspective you want to use to look at childbirth and spirituality (doesn't it?)
Many greetings, Ans

Hi Denis
Olöf Asta Olafsdottir from University of Iceland wrote her PhD thesis about Icelandic midwives' birth stories and 'ways
of knowing'. This incuded narratives which focus on spirituality. There's a chapter reporting on some aspects of Olof
Asta's study in Hunter and Deery 2009 'Emotions in midwifery and reproduction'. I think she is a member of this group
so will probably reply herself , but in case not, you could contact her at [log in to unmask]

Hi List Members,
Does anyone know of doctoral studies that have addressed childbirth and spirituality or could point me to any published
studies around this topic? I am familiar with Jenny's (Hall) book on the subject.
Many thanks,
Denis
