HW 38 - Insights from pregnancy & birth book - part 1

        If I was to write a book about pregnancy and birth i would do the same thing Tina Cassidy did in her book, "Birth." I acknowledged the fact  that she dedicated the book to people and how in the first sentence of her first pharagraph she already gave us insight about birth.
Major question the book tries to answer:
1)  The amount of questions the people have that are currently dealing with birth?
"Could it possibly be true that even in early twentieth -century America, women delivering in hospitals were more liekely to die there than if they had given birth at home? That poor woman were used as obstetrical guinea pigs? (Pg. 7)
2) Who's really more helpful men are midwives?
"Once Bourgeios became a famous midwife, however, she began publicly attacking surgeons for their middlesome mistakes that complicated what should have been moraml births."(Pg. 36-37)
        The insight the book, "Birth" tries to give us in the first 100 pages are how there there is no one perfect way of giving birth. How everyone's situation of giving birth will be different. How both the guy and girl go through  so much and go crazy because of the situation there in.
Response to insight:
I believe that everyones birth experience is different and hard. I feel especially sorry for all rhe people that have to go through the birthing process alone. In the book all the people dealing with pregnancy and birt seem to be going crazy and are stressed enough even with there partners so i couldnt imagine how they could get through this process if they were alone.
5 interesting aspects of pregnancy and birth:
Cesarean sections are very useful but dangerous
soon to be parents deserve to get extra attention
Doctors changed the way things are performed to help the people as well as themselves
Midwifes are very useful
Giving birth at a home like envirenment is a good alternative if you dont want to give birth at the hospital
       The author uses real people to gain insight on birth and pregnancy. She also uses this information to make arguements. I find this evidence to be very reliable for there are alot of people that are going through the birth and pregnancy situation . The author's whole book is evidence, however this doesn't interupt or stall the book at all. It makes the book more intersting and more enjoyable to read.
