Het werk van Megan Davidson duikt in de complexiteit van geboorte, moederschap en maatschappelijke percepties van zwangere lichamen. Ze onderzoekt kritisch thema's van zwaarlijvigheid tijdens de zwangerschap, en verkent hoe deze lichamen worden voorgesteld, gemonitord en beheerd binnen maatschappelijke kaders. Davidson onderzoekt ook de belangrijke rol van doula's bij het verbeteren van geboorte-uitkomsten en het ondersteunen van barenden en hun pasgeborenen. Haar schrijven biedt diepgaande inzichten in de belichaamde ervaringen van vrouwen die zwangerschap en bevalling doormaken.
