This autoethnographic study examines homebirth as a form of resistance against the medicalization of childbirth in Western societies. Employing a diffractive methodology informed by new materialist feminist theory, the article interweaves personal narrative with critical analysis of relevant literature on medicalization and resistance in childbirth, contributing to debates centered on birthing justice and autonomy. It argues that homebirth disrupts technocratic regimes of childbirth and demonstrates how autoethnographic approaches can illuminate lived realities in ways that complement macro-level analyses, offering new insights into the complex interplay between individual agency and systemic constraints in childbirth practices. The findings suggest that homebirth not only resists medicalization but also opens new possibilities for understanding and experiencing birth.
