"Hey Tina Cassidy thanks for writing Birth. Your main idea about how birth is performed and how the birthing process have changed over the years made me rethink pregnancy and birth.
The part that really stood out to me was the part where it talked about the tools that were being used to "Well, in the last third of the book you focused on" the men not being allowed to be in the same room as there mates aswell as the mother to not bond as much with the babies as the mother wants. Which further developed the first 2/3rds of the book. But let me be more specific." And then you listed the top 3 ideas/pieces of evidence/insights/questions from that final third of the book.
#1) At the end of the 1960's, only 15 percent of men were attending the births of their children. (pg.207)
#2) They are convinced they cannot give birth without the participation of the bby's father.(pg. 214)
#3) As late as 1958, a survey of three thousand U.S. hospitals found that only three hundred allowed mothers and child to remain together. (pg. 226)
"Well, let's be clear - your text sought to provide policy analysis from the perspective of a actual person who deals with and enforces the hospital policies. for the book-reading-public to better understand pregnancy & birth in our culture. Given that aim, and your book, the best advice I would give for a 2nd edition of the text would be, to gain some new infromation and to get some new people in the book that has gone through the un just birth and pergnancy process. But I don't want you to feel like I'm criticizing. I appreciate the immense amount of labor you dedicated to this important issue and particularly for making me think about the tools being dealt to help the patients & the process the patients have to go through. In fact, I'm likely to keep all this information regarding this book in mind so i could make sure that when i go through this process with my wife nothing un just happens.
