Making Babies, Making Miscarriages: Ultrasound, Home Pregnancy Testing, and Early Pregnancy Loss
Speaker: Dr. Lara Freidenfelds
Lara Freidenfelds is the author of The Myth of the Perfect Pregnancy: A History of Miscarriage in America and The Modern Period: Menstruation in Twentieth-Century America. She is a regular contributor to the peer-reviewed blog Nursing Clio and has written on miscarriage for the Washington Post. She holds a Ph.D. in history of science and an A.B. in anthropology from Harvard University, and works as an independent scholar affiliated with the Princeton Research Forum.
Historical transformations in the experience of pregnancy over the past two centuries have made early pregnancies losses more emotionally fraught today than they were in the past. This talk examines the role of technology in this transformation, in particular, how the rituals we have developed around obstetric ultrasound and home pregnancy tests serve to make the baby “real” and encourage bonding earlier and earlier in pregnancy, at a stage when many pregnancies are destined to miscarry.
Sponsored by the Alfred Dorman Honors College and the NJIT Federated Department of History with the generous support of Robert & Ethel Singer.
