Natural childbirth

The only con there really is to natural childbirth would be that it is painful. However, if a pregnant woman does not deal well with pain or if she has a complicated delivery, an epidural might be an answer for her. There are three techniques to help during the process of natural childbirth: the Alexander technique, the Bradley method, and the Lamaze method. The Alexander technique is helpful for a pregnant

I used to think giving birth in a hospital was the safest and only option. However, hospital birth has not been the only locations to deliver a baby. And the procedure, doctors preform during labor can affect the baby. Another Sucre location to give birth is at home. During home birth mothers are assisted by a midwife who are skilled, and fully trained in the area of pregnancy and birth. They’re just like doctors, for instance, they check your blood pressure, weight, and listens to the heartbeat

When I return to my New Mexican community as a midwife, I hope to influence practice through improving cultural competence in birth, improving health literacy in pregnancy/birth, and through increasing education and awareness of childbirth (natural childbirth, and other birthing options) and nutrition/exercise during pregnancy. As a native New Mexican woman with many different ethnic and cultural backgrounds (Hispanic, African American, Native American), I feel I can influence Midwifery practice

All three of these topics are very important due to the fact all have been medicalized and have accumulatively brought in billions of dollars to pharmaceutical companies, doctors, and scientists.

Not everyone is cut out to endure the pain of child labor, but women have the strength to withstand it. Many men have no idea what excruciating pain women go through to deliver a baby. Labor is a very long process that strengthens the mental and physical aspects of a woman.

Before 1700s, childbirth was primarily a domestic event, attended by midwives and female relatives. However, it has drastically changed as a technological approach to childbirth gained a momentum in the Western world. With each new technological invention, came new ways to test and analyze the process of childbirth. The strong push towards utilizing precautionary medical procedures during childbirth such as electronic fetal monitoring, amniocentesis, epidurals and C-section is currently the topic

Hips don’t lie, but are they the reason behind childbirth pain? To all the female readers out there, chances are you’ve heard the horror stories about giving birth. Unfortunately, when it comes to me, who works with (assists) an obstetric anaesthesiologist, I’ve both seen and heard of the horrific pain women experience during childbirth. I have since then wondered why giving birth is so painful. If evolution favours reproduction, shouldn’t they make the process a little easier? The obstetric

encompassing social and cultural systems and contexts (Singer and Baer, 2007). In medical anthropology, reproductive health care system is one of the most important issues. Childbirth is a vital part of reproductive health care system in our society. In the context of reproductive health care system concept of medicalization of childbirth is practiced all over

The simple fact that we have advances in technology that provides us as humans a way of escape from the pains of childbirth should be fully taken advantage of. To have resources and technology so advanced and not use it would be a waste of years of scientific research. More than 2.5 million out of 4 million births a year the mother ops to have

by Christian ways, they misinterpret certain major parts of the tradition of childbirth. Those who follow a Christian standard take what they learn from the church in a stricter context than they need to.
