DESCRIPTION:Pregnancy is regarded by health researchers as a k
 ey period in which to begin studies focusing on th
 e child\, configuring the pregnant person’s body a
 s the child’s first ‘environment.’ This presentati
 on explores the history of efforts to enroll pregn
 ant women in research studies focused on child hea
 lth\, exploring the role such studies play in the 
 broader reproductive biopolitics aimed at governin
 g pregnant bodies. Drawing on interviews with moth
 ers\, health professionals and scientists\, and ar
 chival materials from a longitudinal study of chil
 d health in the south west of the UK\, the present
 ation considers how the concept of the ‘foetal env
 ironment’ was materialised through the collection 
 of tissues such as cord blood and placenta. In thi
 s way\, the paper calls for renewed attention to t
 he reproductive histories of population geography.
