Mothering; Gender; Urban groups; New Digital Technologies.
This is an ethnography about a “group of pregnant”. It has as an analytical clipping the study of the urban middle strata, in the particular context of the city of Natal/RN. From a empirical fieldword realized between April 2015 and April 2016, I describe the daily life of a group of women, as from of pregnancy to motherhood. My insertion in the field during the pregnancy, the use of WhatsApp messenger, consumption, suffering, subjectivity, woman, mothering, gender and the feminist critique are issues that constitute what present throughout the work. From them, what I try to show is that ethnographic research allows us to perceive important nuances, contradictions and transformations, such as those that constitute debates about ideal and real motherhood, childbirth policies, professional careers and maternity, pain and the joy, are part of negotiable ambivalences and that gain particular senses context researched.
