“风险业务”认为医院分娩和生产的概念风险在产科。风险是医疗分娩的定义概念。接近产科风险的目标，挑战其持有的做法表明，风险本身是如何产生和维持在特定的体制环境。这里的目标是想象理解和评估产科风险的新方法，作为挑战分娩和育儿技术官僚方法的总体战略的一部分。通过对女性主义者对待分娩的态度的调查，本文讨论了母亲的健康状况是如何影响医学教育和将分娩视为“危险的事业”的。"
"Risky Business" considers hospital childbirth and the production of the concept of risk in obstetrics. Risk is a defining concept of medicalized childbirth. Approaching obstetrical risk with a goal of challenging its hold on practices demonstrates how risk itself is produced and maintained in particular institutional contexts. The goal here is to imagine new ways of understanding and assessing obstetrical risk, as part of an overall strategy of challenging technocratic approaches to childbirth and mothering. Surveying feminist approaches to childbirth, the essay discusses how the mother's health profile affects both medical education and the construction of childbirth as "risky business."
