Vaginal Vs C-Section Video

The movie “Babies” was a beautiful film I loved it I actually watched it three times and could not look away it was a very eye opening documentary for me. It is about cultures and differences within them it was truly amazing seeing the different cultures and there parenting methods. I was truly shocked that these four babies are in four very different cultures but all of them were reaching their milestones and developing all around the same time. I would have never thought that the parenting styles would be so similar to each other. In the documentary each child was loved from their parents and family. Each family was very different but all still spent time with there baby and loved them. The film starts from them being born till they are one-year old it shows you how they develop from culture to culture. It shows attachment styles in all four cultures and the results were surprising.

I learned several things I did not know before this video, for instance the different stages things form in a baby. The first thing that stood out to me was at twenty five days the heart chamber assembles. Another interesting fact about the embryo’s heart is it beats twice as fast as the mothers. However, at thirty two days the embryo grows arms and legs. Additionally, another interesting piece of information was at fifty two days the baby starts developing their retina, nose, and fingers. In all reality the embryo looks like a tiny human at the age of nine weeks inside of the mother’s stomach.

It shows just how complex and intricate the human mind is in the children. Before this video I would never have noticed how smart children actually were and all that they can perceive. This video can be very useful for parents by helping them realize how important the first part of a child’s life is. Everything they see and experience is molding and shaping them to be who they are. It can also help them realize why babies are so emotional because taking in so many new things can be overwhelming for children especially. Also can be useful for anyone who plans on doing research on children to have an idea of how their brains work at fifteen months versus eighteen months. It shows how much is going on in their minds, and also how they cannot focus on just one specific thing because they are constantly taking in information in many

Due to cesarean section, it is proven that c-section birth causes infants to be at greater risk of developing a host of illnesses such as, asthma, type 1 diabetes, as they progress and grow older; As Australia has one of the highest c-section rates in the world with now at 32% of the population having a cesarean birth (s. McCulloch, 2018). Indigenous mothers are more likely to experience more long-term issues and even perinatal death compared to the 0.7% of non-aboriginal and non-Torres Strait islander mothers (The Department of Health, 2011).

In this week’s response we are given the choice to choose to respond on the topic about a type of “non-traditional” childbirth (i.e. hospital) of our choice that we would want to know more about and “What we learn before we’re born” from TED talk by Annie Murphy Paul . This week I am choosing to respond to a type of “non-traditional” childbirth (i.e. hospital). The type of childbirth I chose to talk about is a water birth. As interesting as this topic may be and all of the possible childbirths there are this stood out for me because I believe that it is amazing that a child can be born in a little pool.

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

I think that the practice and reasoning behind female genital mutilation is completely wrong. In the Pokot tribe, young girls are circumcised for “practical” reasons. A few of these reasons involve a girl’s self-worth when it comes to marriage or too see if she is strong enough to become a woman within her village. However, having a circumcised vagina does not determine this; receiving an education does. Throughout the video, I found the marriage process of the Pokot strange. In exchange for the bride, the girl’s father receives cows along with beer and other minuscule items. These items can potentially make the family wealthier and gain a higher social class. Nancy argued that these items especially the cows have little mean. I agree with

The final birth at the end of the video clip was memorable for me because it was reminiscent of the birth of my two daughters. It was an emotional clip to watch and what made it so fascinating was the fact that the whole process was tracked with vivid visuals from the gametes to the blastocyst to the zygote to the fetus to finally the new born baby. I was amazed at the images of the millions of sperm that was produced and the various obstacles they had to go through just to get to the ovum. The first obstacle was in the sheer number of them competing to reach first, that also not guaranteeing any success. The obstructive

Prenatal care varies throughout different culture in many of ways. The video talks about few different culture like the Mayans and the US. According to the video Pregnancy and Prenatal Care Across Cultures is one of the ways the Mayan culture is different, is at around about three months the pregnant women go to visit the midwife to get check out. From that point on they visit the midwife every eight days. During the visit the midwife will use their hand to check the pregnancy and every fifteen days they will give the pregnant lady a massage to see if the baby is good and check to see if the baby is lying in a healthy position. They also go to the doctor to make sure the baby heartbeat is find.

I have not experience giving birth yet as a young woman; I decided to ask my mother. My mother had my brother and sister natural, I was a breech baby. I am going to agree with natural childbirth or water birth and the epidural.

B. "Holly freaking cow," our vagina goes through a lot. We deal with our monthly menstrual, sexual intercourse which sometimes leave us sorely, and birth. Wow! I can't believe the bab's cranium set outside the vagina for a couple of minutes before fully coming out. I'm glad I had an cesarean. Although the after pain isn't that much better, but don't think I could have managed pushing my baby girl out of me. However, the amazing part of it all is after all the suffering and sacrificing we go through we are giving the biggest blessing of them all, a beautiful

While we learn a lot in our studies, watching these educational videos really makes it more personal and easier to understand. First off the technology that was used to depict accurate replications of our ancestors is amazing. It shows how our technology advancements help teach us more in depth of our history. At the beginning of the episode it spoke about the ape that waled bipedal, maybe I overlooked this during our studies, but I did not know of an actually ape who was solely bipedal only. It was amazing to learn how mother and infant relationship is contingent whereas the primates for example orangutans stay skin to skin with their infant for at least the first 6 months of their life. Also, I did not know that within out teeth it can

"Childbirth Animation Video"- What was interesting about the process of child birth is how the body prepares itself slowly for the baby to come. Also what is interesting is the fact that even after the baby is born, the birthing process is not over. As, the woman must deliver the placenta if she is giving brith vaginally. She will continue to have mild contractions, till the placenta has come out. I though it was insightful that despite the mother having mild contractions to deliver the placenta, she can hold and bond with the baby.As her bundle of joy, will take her mind of the pain.

Vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC) is the name used for identifying the method of giving birth vaginally after previously delivering at least one baby through a caesarean section (CS). A trial of labour (TOL) is the term used to describe the process of attempting a VBAC. An elected repeat caesarean (ERC) is the other option for women who have had a caesarean in the past. The rates of women choosing to deliver by means of an ERC has been increasing in many countries, this is typically due to the common assumption that there are too many risks for the baby and mother (Knight, Gurol-Urganci, Van Der Meulen, Mahmood, Richmond, Dougall, & Cromwell, 2013). The success rate of VBAC lies in the range of 56 - 80%, a reasonably high success rate, however, the repeat caesarean birth rate has increased to 83% in Australia (Knight et al., 2013). It is essential to inform women of the contraindications, success criteria, risks, benefits, information on uterine rupture and the role of the midwife in relation to considering attempting a VBAC (Hayman, 2014). This information forms the basis of an antenatal class (Appendix 1) that provides the necessary information to women who are considering attempting a VBAC and can therefore enable them to make their own decision regarding the mode of birth.

I watched the video several times to make sure I could give as much detail as possible of the events I saw concerning the woman’s march and be able to give an honest yet objective review of my observations.
