“The Business of Being Born” In America and globally, we are known to do things differently apart from other countries, and sometimes it is beneficial, but by doing things differently; are we setting ourselves in the lead or few steps back? For hundred of years, women have wrestled with their womanhood,

According to “Human Sexuality: Diversity in Contemporary America,” women and couples planning the birth of a child have decisions to make in variety of areas: place of birth, birth attendant(s), medication, preparedness classes, circumcision, breast feeding, etc. The “childbirth market” has responded to consumer concerns, so its’ important for prospective consumers to fully understand their options. With that being said, a woman has the choice to birth her child either at a hospital or at home. There are several differences when it comes to hospital births and non-hospital births.

Giving birth in hospitals has only been the norm for a little over one hundred years. Before hospitals were commonplace, many women birthed at home with the help of a trained local midwife and close female family members. However during the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, cars and smoother roads became much more easily accessible and traveling to a hospital was much easier. Healthcare and medicine saw a rapid growth as well during this time. Due to this rapid growth of new medicines and better trained physicians,

Over the years birthing methods have changed a great deal. When technology wasn’t so advanced there was only one method of giving birth, vaginally non-medicated. However, in today’s society there are now more than one method of giving birth. In fact, there are three methods: Non-medicated vaginal delivery, medicated vaginal delivery and cesarean delivery, also known as c-section. In the cesarean delivery there is not much to prepare for before the operation, except maybe the procedure of the operation. A few things that will be discussed are: the process of cesarean delivery, reasons for this birthing method and a few reasons for why this birthing method is used. Also a question that many women have is whether or not they can vaginally

Home Birth vs. Hospital Birth Delivering a baby in the home and in the hospital both provide comfort to some, but homebirth offers decreased cost and hospital births offer more options. Some women have different birthing methods in mind when it comes to delivering a child. Some women feel that it

Watching this video was eye opening for me, this was the first time I have ever hear about this documentary and I wish I had known about this sooner. The video was very interesting and had very good information. The film "The Business of being born" made a lot of sense and it made me wonder if my C-section was even necessary, I had always thought that I was going to have a regular birth and my family expected the same thing. My grandmother had seven kids which include 2 pairs of twins and she had natural births for all their children and she had them in her house with the help of a local midwife, she always talked about how back them having kids was a normal thing and doctors weren't needed. But now most of the births are in hospitals and with the help of a whole medical team. Some of the things that were familiar to me was that women are deciding that having their babies at hospitals is the

In this workshop for potential parents I would first inform them of the current estimated cost of raising a child, $241,000 throughout the child’s lifespan and close to $28,000 in the first year. (Holden) which is very important to know because they should be financially stable enough to support this

During our research stage Taylor had spoken to the maternity manager at Galion Community Hospital. One of the questions that she had asked was if Galion Hospital offered birthing classes to their new parents. The maternity manager stated that they did in fact offer classes for the upcoming parents but have over the years noticed that the turnout rate for these particular classes have declined rapidly. She had said that no one has tried to implement any type of change this unfortunate issues. She had also stated that she is in conjunction with one other person on trying to make these classes more accessible but have not made any positive progress.

Because of the stories of bad experiences passed down for years, many women fear childbirth. As a result, many women do not believe in the power of their own bodies and often hand over control of their bodies to OB/GYN medical practice. The moment that I have been anticipating for days, months, and years even has come. A little heart began beating and growing inside me, and my love and excitement grew along with it. From the moment I learned I was pregnant, I began imagining and preparing for a natural birth, and I happily awaited my giving birth. I was pregnant with my second child, and after an induction, epidural, baby out in 8 hours, with my first birth; I knew I wanted to attempt a natural childbirth. While walking and shopping for hours, I was having Braxton-Hicks (or so I thought), and wasn’t terribly concerned I had been

I didn’t know much about any of the topics we could choose from but I decided to go with hypnobirthing after checking out a little on each topic. Hypnobirthing seems like something i would want to use when I one day become a pregnant. Hypnobirthing is learning how to give birth naturally and becoming relaxed while doing it. The official website for the original method states, “The method teaches you that, in the absence of fear and tension, or special medical circumstances, severe pain does not have to be an accompaniment of labor,” and “You will experience birthing in an atmosphere of calm relaxation, free of the fear that prevents the muscles of your body from functioning as nature intended them to.” The premise is taking control of your

Midwives and Water Births The method of childbirth I chose was midwives and water births. Waterbirths are when either part of your labor or delivery, or both your labor and delivery happen in a birth pool. Midwives are in home nurses that help with this birthing process. Water births can be done at birthing centers, and some hospitals offer them as well. Usually water births are most commonly done in the home.

3. See attached page for Molecular Model. 4. Suggestions for an overall improvement in the service: The couple’s first experience of having newborn babies came unexpected amidst severe warnings of a hurricane at 5:20 AM; the mother’s water had broken and the baby was being born 13 weeks early. The delivery was high risk, not only due to the premature nature of the newborns, but also because the pregnancy was multiple-birth (twins). As this is a high-stress moment for any future parent, and ones with complex situations in particular, the overall service experience should be as easy, informational, safe, and stress-free as possible.

I will never forget the moment my labor began, the moment that marked that step in my journey into motherhood. I can remember everything about it so clearly. My mom, fiancé, and I woke up early Friday morning to make our way to Western Missouri Medical Center. I stood in front of the mirror looking at my belly knowing it would be my last time standing in that bathroom with my baby inside of me still. It was a bittersweet moment that I cherished as long as I possibly could. I was set to be induced that morning and very excited, yet a little bit nervous. I had no idea what to expect. I’d been waiting a very long 37 weeks to finally meet this precious human that had been growing inside me. I had ideas of what he might look like, and what the experience might be like, however nothing could have prepared me for what was in store over the next few days.
