Recommended: Should parents be responsible for their kids

Baby is an angle that God blessed to this beautiful world. Parents have a duty to protect and nurture their children in the best way possible. Babies are born in a different ways such as in the hospital or homebirth. The baby is made by love between their parents. A video called “The Business of Being Born” has presented with the idea that Americans women decide to choose to deliver birth in many ways. For years women is allowed to manipulate their birth through using technology or natural practices like caesarian sections and using drugs like Pitocin to help with contraction and epidural to stop pain. On other hand, the majority of history has been known to be giving birth by squatting. It was really interesting to learn about this birth giving process and I found a lot of important information while I watched this video. After I watched this video, I believe that every woman have the right to do research and decide on her own birthing plan rather than following orders by her doctors. Before I think that giving birth in the hospital is the best way to give birth, but at this video show me I got change my mind a lot. Technology has become extremely popular during the birth process used by the doctors. The hospitals are capable of doing more damage to the infant and mother during the birth process than natural birth. In the hospital, the doctor uses the medicines and procedures to allow the woman birth to be easier, but sometimes that process has effects on the baby. Hospitals are depicted as institution fro health but they are actually business. Like any other business, the hospitals want to increase the payments they receive from their patients therefore give little choices for patients to choose from when giving birth other tha... ... middle of paper ... ...hing and lovely scene in this video. It was also the touching time to the mother getting their baby on their hands. Through the video, I could get some knowledge and understand how hard and pain my mom was when she had my sisters and me. She endured the pain and hard time during labor to give birth to a healthy daughter like me. I promise to myself, I will listen and do not argue with my mom anymore because she is the best person in the world who loves and cares me from inside her heart. This video touched the bottom of my heart and it was a blast to watch this video. While I watched this video, I realized that babies are born in different ways, but they had one thing in common. Parents always want the best to their children. The emotions of the parents when the child was born like the world full of happy. This video gave us a lot of useful and information fact.

  • The Global Epidemic of Cesarean Surgery and the Feminist Movement

    We are here faced with the polar opposite extremes in birthing. Seemingly, if a woman has too little prenatal care and education regarding birthing (as in Africa) she may not have the access to a Cesarean when she truly needs it; and at the other end of the spectrum if a woman has enveloped herself in a system that relies too heavily on birthing technologies she may end up with an unnecessary Cesarean surgery. Other paradigms exist for birthing such as in Holland where every woman is provided with a midwife for her birth, and Brazil where the C-section rate tops 80 percent. Yet another microcosmic pocket of birth in the U.S. shows us that C-section rates can be achieved at below 2%.

  • Birthing Options in the USA

    2263 Words  | 5 Pages

    The Citizens of America do not realize the freedoms they have in the birthing process. Instead of knowing all the paths women can choose from in the United States most believe the only option is in the hospital. It is not common knowledge that the midwife can be the best choice for most healthy able women bearing children. This circumstance is reinforced by more than one factor. Historically, midwives have been exiled by the medical elite during the turn of the twentieth century. Another aspect that can be taken into account is that the birthing process is generational, meaning the tradition is passed down through the mother to her own daughter. These two factors play a major role in continuing the popular birthing norms of America. These reasons cause most people to lose interest when advocates of midwives try to convey their message. Through the examination of American birth models, the focus will be on the following: the historical context of the midwife up to modern day assumptions, the comparison and contrast of American practices in relation to the other countries of the world, and the financial break down and services a mother would receive in from an OB/GYN versus a midwife. These three factors will be used to fully exemplify the importance and necessity a midwife has on a birth, advocate for the knowledge of midwifery to the common public, and call for more American women to take advantage of such a powerful opportunity by educating themselves on what options they have when they become pregnant

    In Canada, child protection is basically a responsibility of the provincial and territorial governments through various activities such as investigating child protection concerns. As part of their responsibilities to promote child protection, the provincial and territorial governments may place children or young under care. This involves placing them in varying living arrangements such as group home, foster home, independent living program, receiving homes, and relatives’ home. Placing children in foster care seems to be the most common way used by various governments in Canada to address child protection concerns. However, this type of care has had significant challenges in the recent past, particularly in light of children or young people who age out of foster care. These challenges are attributed to the lack of legislative and policy initiatives taken to address children who age out of foster care in Canada. As a result of lack of such provisions, these children end up having lack of further education as they are forced into adulthood. In some cases, children who age out of foster care in Canada get involved in criminal activities. As the number of children who age out foster care increases, Canadian government should enact appropriate measures, especially legislation and policy to promote the well-being of these children as they grow into adulthood.

With this being said, I also understand that there are strict policies and protocols set in place, which I must abide to as a healthcare provider, in any birth setting. Unfortunately, these guidelines can be abused. Christiane Northrup, MD, a well recognized and respected obstetrician-gynecologist has gone as far as to tell her own daughters that they should not give birth in a hospital setting, with the safest place being home (Block, 2007, p. xxiii). Although I am not entirely against hospital births, I am a firm believe that normal, healthy pregnancies should be fully permissible to all midwives. However, high-risk pregnancies and births must remain the responsibility of skilled obstetricians. My heart’s desire is to do what is ultimately in the best interest of the mother, and her unborn child.
