Abstract: This study examines the fertility and birth behavior of immigrant women from Kulu Turkey in a different socioeconomic environment in Sweden. It concentrates on the encounter between Swedish health care institutions and immigrant women from Kulu in the context of pregnancy and birth which is considered as a cultural phenomenon. The women from Kulu have been accustomed to children being born at home. The women have given birth on their own territory surrounded by persons whose support has been forthcoming in many previous situations. Women rely on their own competence and largely derive their identity as women from this. Swedish obstetric wards have been designed on the whole for organizational efficiency and the availability of medico-technical resources. Those in charge of this setting expect the patient to be relatively passive reticent accept relaxing and pain-killing drugs and not make a fuss. Besides having to leave her familiar environment the woman is usually separated from her child during parts of her time in the maternity ward. The infant is cared for by specially trained staff who also decide whether and when the mother is allowed access to her baby and can take it home. Traditionally Kulu women have seen all misfortunes including illness and death as the work of forces beyond their control whereas the health care system in Sweden constantly stresses the individuals responsibility for his or her well-being. It may be asked whether the social adjustment of Kulu women in Sweden is bound to mean that they automatically become more unsure of themselves in childbirth and as mothers and carers but more research is needed to resolve this issue.
