Natural Birth or Normal Birth pt2 (The business of being born)
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.
