Abstract
This article examines why and how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) presented the Soviet Union's psycho-prophylactic method of delivery (known as Lamaze method to the Western world) as truly socialist and and how pregnant women and medical practitioners in China experienced it in the delivery rooms in the 1950s. The CCP's adoption of the Soviet Union's methods of delivery reflected its struggles with scientific, yet bourgeois, Western medicine and its efforts to create an alternative model of modernity, in which science served the masses, during the Cold War.
