Abstract

Birthing is an exemplary setting for investigating how non-pathological painful sensations are intersubjectively established. Contractions are integral to giving birth and are physiologically normal events that can range from mild to intensely painful sensations. This conversation analytic study is the first to examine how first-stage labor contractions are made recognizable and shape interaction between laboring women, birth partners, and attending clinicians. Drawing on recordings from two British midwife-led units, we show how participants convey and recognize contraction pain through breathiness, pain cries, (limited) talk, and visible bodily actions. Contractions can be prospectively announced and/or retrospectively noticed. We demonstrate that breathing patterns become central to how participants collectively orient to and manage contractions, with the onset of pain temporarily suspending ongoing activities in favor of breath work. Data are in British English.

分娩中的疼痛表现:如何在助产士主导的分娩中互动管理第一阶段宫缩。
分娩是研究非病理性疼痛感觉是如何在主体间建立的一个范例。宫缩是分娩过程中不可或缺的一部分,是生理上的正常事件,可以从轻微到强烈的疼痛感觉。这个对话分析研究是第一个检查第一阶段的阵痛是如何被识别出来的,并塑造了分娩妇女、生育伴侣和主治医生之间的互动。根据两个英国助产士领导的单位的录音,我们展示了参与者如何通过呼吸、疼痛哭声、(有限的)谈话和可见的身体动作来传达和识别宫缩痛。宫缩可以预先宣布和/或回顾性注意。我们证明,呼吸模式成为参与者如何集体定位和管理收缩的核心,疼痛的发作暂时暂停正在进行的活动,有利于呼吸工作。数据是英式英语。

期刊介绍: The journal publishes the highest quality empirical and theoretical research bearing on language as it is used in interaction. Researchers in communication, discourse analysis, conversation analysis, linguistic anthropology and ethnography are likely to be the most active contributors, but we welcome submission of articles from the broad range of interaction researchers. Published papers will normally involve the close analysis of naturally-occurring interaction. The journal is also open to theoretical essays, and to quantitative studies where these are tied closely to the results of naturalistic observation.
