順勢生產：生產技術改革的性別議題

Gender Issues in Technology Reform for Gentle Births

台灣女醫師人數逐年增加，在這樣獨特專屬女性身體經驗的生產領域，女醫師的增加是否能改變 向來對立的兩個專業一產科醫師與助產師，進而翻轉男性主導的產科技術，讓生產更「順勢而為」。本文 分享作者至丹麥參訪的觀察，在平權的丹麥，女醫師人數多過於男醫師，穩定的助產專業發展，助產師 與醫師共同照護孕產婦，三方都得利。2016 年起將順勢生產在台灣付諸實現，四年多以來成就了兩百多 個家庭，在最少的醫炎介入下，順勢迎接家庭新成員的誕生。期待接下來能有國家的力量介入支持，讓 台灣的女性都能享有自主义賦權的生產。

The number of female doctors in Taiwan is increasing annually. Childbirth is a specialized field regarding the female body. We week for changes in this field with the increasing number of female doctors nowadays. Childbirth was historically divided into two opposing experts: the obstetrics and the midwifery. Currently, the demographic shifts from a male-dominated childbirth field is warrant. This paper shares the author's fieldwork experience in Denmark, a country in which there are more female doctors than male doctors. The gender equality rights led to the new development in the field of childbirth, and provide cooperation between midwives and doctors in the efforts to protect mothers' health. In 2016, gentle birth was put into effect in Taiwan. Within four years, gentle birth was successfully practiced in two hundred families. In the future, we claim support from the government to provide an environment with health and more self-empowering births in Taiwanese women.
