Aim

The Perceptions of Pregnancy blog, like the Researchers’ Network, aims to reach beyond boundaries and borders, and to facilitate an international and interdisciplinary conversation on pregnancy and its associated bodily and emotional experiences from the medieval to the modern. We welcome contributions from any discipline, with any geographic focus, relating to the broad field of fertility, pregnancy and childbirth from the earliest times to the present day.
