Abstract
Clients at a free-standing birth center resist the medical hegemonic construction of their pregnant bodies as risky entities through the spatial organization and material objects of the center. The center displays partisan messages about birth as a safe and private event. Therefore, when clients realize the physical and psychological consequences of structures and objects, they reconnect with their physical bodies, associate mental attitudes with physical sensations, and sustain a counterdiscourse about birth.
