| Résumé : |
The average age of mothers has increased to 30.7 years (Office for National Statistics (ONS) 2022a) with a 7.3 per cent increase in women presenting to maternity services over the age of 35 (ONS 2022b). Dhanjal & Kenyon (2013) and Public Health England (PHE) (2019) define women over 35 at booking as advanced maternal age (AMA) in pregnancy. Local Trust (2018) considers the threshold as 40.
At 42, Polly, a pseudonym used to maintain confidentiality in accordance with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) (2018), had raised maternal age in pregnancy. This case study will critically analyse her intrapartum care. Through exploration of the concept of risk in relation to medical and social models of care, perceptions of normality and the relationship between midwife and woman, the importance of salutogenic-focused midwifery care will be illuminated. |
