INTRO
America is a very beautiful place with many different perspectives from Humans. Besides the breath taking scenery, what makes this place so beautiful is the People that multiply every day. Birth's is a significant issue in the world. According to the Department of Human Services there are approximately 10,657 babies born into the world either naturally or in the hospital. There are differences between the two types of birth. It all depends on the pregnant woman and the set of how everything goes. Two woman can be giving birth in the same hospital but one can have a more difficult time than the other one. So it depends on the situation.
"NORMAL BIRTH"
Over the past years giving birth has changed dramatically. It went from giving birth naturally at home to doing it in hospitals. In our time now, because society is use to woman giving birth in hospitals, It starts to adapt to the mind until it gets to the point where society starts looking at it as normal. So the standard location to give births are hospitals. The option to do it varies depending on the woman but there are positive and negative sides to it. Reason's that some woman decide to give natural birth in hospitals is because they believe it's much safer and they feel secured by all of the medical supply's that is surrounding them. From video's and people talking about births, many first time mother's and fathers get nervous and think of all the possible things that can go wrong, so being in the set of the hospital seems to get that feeling to relax. Crucial pain is known to occur during births, so giving birth in a hospital, the woman knows for a fact that she can get medicine or shots to decrease the pain.
In this time period it seems as if woman will do what ever to make this process more easier. It is the fear of pain, and because of it, they will do what ever the doctor tells them to do because they feel it will take away the pain. Many woman, mothers like Chou, Melissa and chera all said it was, "painful and intense," and they all gave births in hospitals. When there is a crisis happening, when everyone starts panicking, someone starts taking charge and telling others what to do. No one is going to not listen because they figure the one in charge always know what they are doing. That can be true in some situations but it's the principle that im trying to explain. When giving birth, it is not a crisis but it is similar to the set. Everyone is panicking in the hospital room and yelling at times making the woman get nervous and tensed, so who is the one taking charge? The OBN. If a woman is a high risk pregnacy or has a medical problem that can cause complictations, she has no choice but to be delivered in the hospital. With that in mind, it makes more sense to understand why woman feel more safe giving birth in hospitals.
MOTHER REFUSING THE DRUGS
what is shocking is when a mother, Melissa, who was educated about both home birth and hospital birth, gave birth in the hospital. Reason not known but what caught my attention is when she stated her OBG wanted to induce the labor while she had the opposite view. She then found out that weekend was his sons birthday, which meant her birth was getting involved into his personal life and vise-versa. She did not let that approve but yet there was another situation, while she was in labor the nurses wanted to put her on the iv and kept asking if she wanted any drugs. As one can see, hospitals over medicalize births.
MOVIE: BUSINESS OF BEING BORN, ALSO "NORMAL BIRTH"
Mouth dropped open was my reaction to after watching The Business of Being Born. What made my mouth drop even more was watching the Cesarean Section. The Surgeons ripped open the woman’s stomach like he was tearing a piece of paper towel. It was shocking to see that because usually what is said is that they cut the woman under her stomach, A bikini cut and take the baby out. With it said like that, It does not seem like there is a lot of pain but that is proven different when one actually see's a C-Section. The most important part of the film that caught my eye was the C-section, and all of home births. It was my first time seeing that and to me it looked more like a birth should look like. There are being telling her to push but it was a huge difference from experiencing it from the hospitals. When looking at the home birth, it looked more peaceful, natural and less pain. It was weird for me to see it because I always see births in hospitals. I heard of home births but I thought that was centuries ago. Because hospital births are very popular in this time period, I started to think it was normal, that's why i said it was weird to see that. There was a very important part that really caught my eye that I would never forget. It was the part when they was explaining how doctors give woman medicine that puts them in more danger, which causes more contractions, which hurts the baby, which causes them to get C-sections. Then after the birth is over a woman would say how the doctor saved their life which they wouldn’t have been put in that predicament in the first place if it wasn’t for the Doctor. This situation was said in class by Andy, and then again by Kaitlyn, who is an adula. I’m also positive that many women do not of this. Watching this movie changed my total outlook of Birth. It made me clearly see how in this time period many people make birth like a business or even like a product. I never knew doctors get paid more than midwifes. I guess that is because doctors do more C-sections, which lead to giving birth to more babies. I feel that this film will be significant to woman who are pregnant, and woman who want to be mothers one day. Men should also watch it so they can give advice to their wife or baby mama. I think this movie will change a lot of woman’s mind and will help this birth crisis.
NATURAL BIRTH
Sometimes you can't choose where you want to give birth because if a woman is in the car and that baby needs to come out, that baby will come out in the car. But there are also people who choose to give natural birth at home. Some woman would rather give at home because they have more power. They are not told what to do, so they listen to thier body. According to an article, Why give birth at home, (www.home-birth-guide.com) has stated,
"when you decide to give a birth at home, you are free to create an atmosphere that you would like to have for birth, to wear your favorite attire during labor and birth, to eat and drink, and so forth. These things, while considered as 'small things', are actually the source of birth satisfaction and eliminate the stress level associated with birth. The availability of these things help to make labor and birth to proceed smoothly."
When giving natural birth at home, your more attach ot the birth and the set. The enviroment is familiar to the woman and she is taking control with out even knowing it. When giving home birth instead of an OBN coming to the house, they send out a Midwife, a nusre who gives natural births at home. When a woman is delivering a baby, the midwife connects more emotionally with the woman, which is good for the birth and labor. The midwife also focuses on the woman more, giving her more attention, one-on-one, Something a woman would get less if she was in the hospital. Being home will be more relaxing for the woman which shows how the set effects the birth of a baby. According to "First Time Pregnacy" every 1000 deliveries 3-4 babies are home birthed. If a woman has no medical complications, there is nothing wrong with giving birth at home. After the baby is born you can hold your baby with out noone taking them away.
Giving natural birth may be beautifull depending on the experience but another way to give birth is by doing a C-Section, where they cut the woman in the abdominal, and pulls the baby out of her stomach. According to "HomeFirst health services", More that one million babies are born by C-sections. By the look at video's, it looks like its less pain to get the baby out, but the pain is crucial after the baby is taken out. There are woman who don't choose to have a C-section but there are some who do. There are some reason's why but the main reason is becuase of the fear of pain while giving natural birth. When a woman has a C-section, they start to get nervous. During that time noone is aloud to be in the room so she can't hold any of her familes hand or hear thier voices. Affter the baby is taken out, the woman may hold her baby IF she doesn't get infected, meaning if the doctor takes too long to stitch her back up, she can get infected. If swhe gets infected she can not get her baby. There is noone there to blame but the doctors. So if the mother chooses to have a c-section, she needs to think of the outcome because if the OBN cuts the wrong part, she will not be seeing her baby at all. Just because there is advanced technology in the room with the best doctor ever, that doesn not mean there can be no complications. Because the advancement in technology and medication, the world starts to see birth as a medical situation.
CHOICE
As reading here, one can now compare the two types of birth and places. What was mentioned was the positive things about giving natural births at home or in a hospital and both negative and positive aspects of getting a c-section. One may ask, "how do you know which to choose if you have a choice?" It's up to the woman and how she adapts to the set. In this time period there are more births in hospitals but the option for natural birth or c-section is skeptical but as the pattern continues, in the future it seems that the percentage of woman giving birth in hospitals with increase.
