About Time: Asking Fat Women About Their Experiences

This is one of those no-duh studies, but I thought it was interesting enough to pass along.  Here's the study abstract.  [emphasis mine]

Nyman VM et al.  Obese women's experiences of encounters with midwives and physicians during pregnancy and childbirth.  Midwifery. 2008 Dec 17. www.pubmed.gov/19100667

OBJECTIVE: To describe obese women's experiences of encounters with midwives and physicians during pregnancy and childbirth.

DESIGN: A qualitative study using a phenomenological approach. Data were collected by means of interviews that were tape-recorded.

SETTING: The women's homes or at a hospital in western Sweden.

PARTICIPANTS: 10 women with body mass index greater than 30, three primiparous and seven multiparous, who had given birth at a hospital in western Sweden in the period between October 2006 and September 2007 were interviewed four to six weeks after childbirth.

FINDINGS: The meaning of being both obese and pregnant is living with a constant awareness of the body, and its constant exposure to the close observation and scrutiny of others. It involves negative emotions and experiences of discomfort. Feelings of discomfort increase as a result of humiliating treatment, whilst affirmative encounters alleviate discomfort and provide a sense of well-being.

CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Obese pregnant women are a vulnerable group because obesity is highly visible. Caregivers tend to focus on providing care to obese patients somatically, but are additionally in need of knowledge about care from the woman's point of view.

Many obese women have negative experiences of health care that they have to overcome.

It is necessary to individualise care for obese pregnant women, which involves taking time to give the women an opportunity to tell their own story.

Caregivers have to promote health but it has to be done honestly and respectfully.

In order to avoid judgmental attitudes and causing increased suffering for obese pregnant women, midwives and physicians need to be conscious of, reflect upon and verbalise their own attitudes and power. 


My Comments

I wish more doctors and midwives would reflect thoughtfully upon their attitudes, assumptions, and biases around "obesity," and realize just how much negative impact insensitive and fat-phobic care during pregnancy and birth can have.

AND if they'd only realize that "promoting health" doesn't necessarily have to mean promoting weight loss ─ that health can be promoted without dieting/weight loss being the keystone.

How much could outcomes be improved if they promoted Health At Every Size instead of weight loss as the goal?Sigh.
