¿Deshaciendo o reproduciendo prácticas de género? Ambivalencias en madres primerizas y profesionales en España
2019
This article analyses the mothering practices explored in a longitudinal
qualitative study which focused on the dynamics within non-traditional,
heterosexual, dual-income couples’ relationships, leading up to and
following the birth of their first child. Each parent was interviewed
separately twice. The first time during the pregnancy and the second
approximately 12 months after their baby’s birth. It was found that for
professional women, their first experience of motherhood brought with it
both dilemmas and ambivalences. As a result, it became difficult to
maintain the non-traditional interactions that occurred between the
partners before their child’s birth. This paper also defines the concept of
new motherhood, discusses the concepts of doing gender and undoing
gender, and proposes a link between partially undoing gender in
interactions and new motherhood practices in Spain.
