Margaret, I would tend to look at post-modernist theories, which allow for issues of complexity and uncertainty. It seems to me that birth is a perfect example of a complex phenomenon, and so it doesnt fit into traditional simplistic theories about the mechanistic workings of the body. You may also look at some of classic feminist writings in this area - Emily Martin, The woman in the body, Anne Oakley, the captured womb, for some feminist theorising in tis area.
