Robin Yates’s paper, “Pregnancy and Childbirth, The 1800’s vs. Now: What to Expect When You’re Not Expecting,” was filled with many clear points on the advancement of labor and medicine since the 1800s. This essay was filled with interesting and grabbing facts; however, the structure of the essay needs more support.

Margaret Sanger, a New York and an active feminist, led the fight for contraceptives, which are methods or devices to prevent pregnancy. Sanger, whose mother at a young age because she had birthed eleven children, helped shape her into a very individualistic and assertive woman. She was a part of the Socialist party, while studying to be a nurse, and starting a family of her own. In 1912, she began to work in the slums with the poor immigrant women who lived there. Her experience in the slums with these women, helped shaped her strong opinion on why women should be in control of childbearing. This was not the only thing that shaped it, but helped further her outlook after she was a witness to her own mother’s death. Her final call to action though was the ghastly stories of self-induced abortions and the tales of more than horrific pregnancies.

Martha Ballard: a woman, a midwife, and an unconscious documenter of feminine history. She is the focal point of this historical writing and is well defined by Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, the author of A Midwife’s Tale. Ulrich examines Martha’s contributions to her time period through her occupation and documented actions. The descriptions provided allow for an unusual insight to the on goings of 18th century American culture, and women’s place in that realm. Martha was recognized as an individual of religious background and was educated in medical procedure, as well as in the ability to read and write. Ulrich defined her as a storyteller, one who shared her life through the survival of her diary. In this diary, Martha created forms for record-keeping,

This article was extremely sad and heartbreaking to read. It’s very hard to imagine what women during this time, underwent to handle an issue that is currently considered safe. I believe that Rosie Jimenez’s desperate action led to her decision. She should have sought support from her friend, instead of taking such extreme measures. I’m quite aware that due to actions like this, changes have been made to improve this issue as well as others. However, I still find it horrible that a young single mother pass away, leaving behind a growing daughter. Abortion is a very touchy subject matter but I believe that it’s an individual’s personal

Breeched pregnancies are something that 13 percent of women in the United States have to deal with. There is not always something that can be done about the breeched pregnancy, and sometimes they baby is just more content that way. It can be a long difficult process deciding what is best for the baby, but there are a lot of options that you can choose from so that you and your baby get the best treatment possible. However, there is a lot of research, stories, and studies about breeched pregnancy that might shine a little light on what is happing to both the baby and the mother.

The women, men, and children that live in Bom Jesus, for the most part, from the moment they are born have a very hard life. The impoverished women, on average during their reproductive days, have about 12 pregnancies. Of those pregnancies only about three of the children survive. (pg. 311) When asked, how many children would be the ideal family size, the women would answer between two to three children. (pg. 331-332) So the question that must be asked is why these women have so many pregnancies when they only really want about three children? The answer to that question has many reasons and most of them are deeply rooted in the culture that the women live in.

The idea of childbirth over time has been viewed in at least three different ways: as a social natural occurrence; as a passage to an early death; and in present times as a medical procedure needed when having children. In the seventeenth and eighteenth century childbirth was seen as a social celebration conducted by midwives, while in the nineteenth century fear of death arose due to an increase of maternal mortality rates. This time period also served as a transition time between the elimination of the midwife and the emergence of the physician. The transition was due to attitude changes and medical knowledge understanding. During the twentieth century, biological knowledge expanded and thus the idea of childbirth was medicalized into a medical procedure needed to have healthy children. Childbirth once seen as a natural phenomenon was now an event that needed medical attention by health facilitators at institutions of health. The ideas around childbirth developed based on the knowledge, cultural setting, mortality rates, and professionals available at the time. Based on these ideas it is easy to see how social and behavioral aspects influenced childbirth throughout the seventeenth, eighteenth, ninetieth and twentieth centuries. In addition, communities’ views on childbirth were influenced by the development of public health infrastructure, public health policy advancement and how well public officials were able to disseminate information.

I was so emotional during my first trimester. I dealt with feelings of depression and on other days, I was elated to be pregnant. In addition to the changes I experienced mentally, I physically was drained from always being tired and nauseous. Things I smelled and things I usually enjoyed eating would often lead me to the nearest bathroom. I would literally go to work and come home and go right to sleep. I was not interested in my responsibilities and that made me feel like I was a bad person. After a few weeks of being sick, I really was getting frustrated with the whole idea of being pregnant. Being sick for 6-8 weeks is no joke. I really thought I would be the one pressuring my husband to support my dream of having a big family. But after
