Throughout our lives, we pass through important stages of change, from the moment of our births until the moment of our deaths. These experiences entail social rituals. Pregnancy and childbirth are one of these changes in which women will encounter multiple rites, defined mainly by medical practices and beliefs. Every society has its rites which work to maintain an ideology. With a rite, we recognize all that a society considers correct. A woman during pregnancy will undergo those actions and interventions considered normal in this ritual process, with the final objective being to achieve motherhood.
在我们的一生中，从出生到死亡，我们经历着重要的变化阶段。这些经历伴随着社会仪式。怀孕和分娩是其中的一种变化，在这个过程中女性会遇到多种仪式，主要由医学实践和信仰所定义。每个社会都有其维护一种意识形态的仪式。通过一种仪式，我们认可一个社会认为正确的所有事物。怀孕期间的女性会经历在这个仪式过程中被视为正常的那些行为和干预，最终目标是成为母亲。
