Medical expertise and authority often serve as foundations upon which patients’ uptake of medical advice is built, and possibilities for health-focused behavioral changes in the patient’s life are motivated and compelled (Pescosolido, Tuch, & Martin, 2001). This expertise is operationalized through processes of medical social control, surveillance, and bureaucratic technologies, particularly in the context of ambiguity and uncertainty (Almeling, 2020, Almeling, 2022, Conrad, 1992, Freeman, 2015, Poteat et al., 2013, shuster, 2019, shuster, 2021, Timmermans and Almeling, 2009). In the case of pregnancy, health care providers dispense advice and protocols around nutrition, exercise, pharmaceutical and substance use, mental health, and the need for regular medical monitoring to protect the health and wellbeing of, essentially, two patients—the pregnant person and the fetus (Rothman, 2014).
