Spring Break HW

Everyone in my family has health care except for my father because he chooses not to go to the doctor. I have not been to the emergency room before and the health insurance I think pays the medical bills. I don't have a similar experience like the people from the movie because I never expericen anything like that before.

Danish Kids

It was good to learn the something about the Denmark economy and the pros and the cons. What became a interest to me was that they only have to go to school thorught 9th grade and if the student is 18 or older they get paid to go to school. One of the Danish girls told me that a A&F store had just open over there and that the prices there in 5 times more than it is in our A&F which I thought was crazy. They said they like New York better because it is more cool and you could tell because one of the Danish girls spent $800 A&F, that seems like too much money to spend in one store. Another interesting thing was that they said they do not have a lot of homeless people like we do in New York and the homeless have a choice to live on the streets and some choose to live there and they don't know why but there aren't that many on the streets. They also said that the price for the subway and bus in Denmark is much more than here. Another interesting thing was that they said they don't have different classes like upper, middle, or lower, they said everybody is wealthy and and they're not seperated my classes and that kind of caught my attention. It was interesting to learn about another country's government and lifestyle and compare to ours and to see the difference makes you think double take on what the government is doing and is it fair to the people and is it benefitting us or them.

First Draft AWOB

American way of birth is apart of American way of life, meaning that no matter what somebody tries to do or change, babies would still be born in someway. My evidence for that is not all babies are planned meaning that some of them are born accidently. Maybe the woman got raped or maybe she forgot to take her birth control or the condom could of broke. So babies are on of the hardiest things stop from happening in the world. Also most women do want kids and you really can't tell them if they could have kids or not because it is their body and they could do whatever they want with them. I am not to sure about questions that I want to look further into but I would keep my mind open just in case something comes up.

"The Buisness of Being Born" Response

I think the most important moments of the movie is when the doctors and midwives gave their opinions on normal and natural births. Also their thoughts on why doctors did c-sections, and three different statments I was able to write down was that "Ceasarian is extremely doctor friendly", "C-section makes things less complicated for the doctor", and the one that came surprising to me was that "If no one steps up and say anything about c-section 100% of births would soon be done by c-section." Their were also some crucial moments that surprised me and I think other people should know are that very few doctors in training observe a normal birth meaning that there is a handfull of doctors that deliver babies when they were in training they never observed a baby being born so they have no idea how the process of having a baby really looks. Also the U.S. has the second worst death birth rate and I think that's surprising because the U.S. is suppose to be one the best place to be and have the most experince in almost anything than any other country and for them to have the second worst birth rate deaths.

The people that should take a look at this video are all women that want to have babies and also men who want to have babies because by making men watch it as well as women gives them some knowledge for when they're in the room with their wives and they're in pain to remind them why they shouldn't take all those drugs so they wont feel all the pain that their feeling. Also I think doctors should watch this so that they could get an idea on the things they're doing right and wrong during these births and what they can do to stop it. My perspective now on childbirth is that I have to beware about what the doctors say or suggest during the process of birth because they might be doing just to benefit them and to make them look right. Also c-section is not good for a woman to have unless the baby has a possible chance of dying or is going to be born prematurealy. What I think should be done more for women that are pregnant is that they should check the history on hospital births in the state they are living in to make sure they know how the births in certain hospitals have varied in the past years.

Break HW

Giraffe Birth
I think this birth the mother didn't care about having the baby because the way she was walking around and having the baby just hanging down like that. Then when the baby came it out he just dropped to the floor and the mom kept walking like she didn't want anything to do with him but she did show a little attention to the baby by trying to groom him a little bit by trying to get the stuff from the sack off. When the baby came out you can see that fluids came out right when the baby dropped to the floor and this can compare to human births because whena human gives birth and the baby comes out then you see different fluids like blood, mucus and things from the sac fall out. When the baby came it seem like the way he dropped to the floor he looked like he was dead because I didn't really see any movements but it seems like a normal birth for a giraffe.

Dolphin Birth
The dolphin birth is a little similar to the giraffe birth where their just moving around with the baby hanging out but once the baby dolphin came out right away it started to swim around with it probably trying to get their muscles strong to be able to swim alone. Also the baby dolphin ways less than a baby giraffe and instead of coming out head first the dolphin comes out fin first which is very interesting because you would usaully see babies be born head first. This doesn't really compare with human birth in a way because in this birth the baby was able to swim right away with no problem but in human birth the babies muscles aren't strong enough yet for them to walk on their own it would take them a couple of months before they are able to do that.

Human Birth
I saw a woman giving natural birth with a midwife inside a tub full of water which was interesting because I heard of it before but I never seen it. During the video the midwife kept checking to see the babies heart rate and am not sure if the mother was giving any drugs during the birth because she said that she was feeling a pain or a burn. There were points where the babies head was coming out and then it goes right back into the vagina. Once the baby came out I think it was crazy how the midwife just grabs the baby by the neck and puts the baby right on the mothers chest. I think its dangerous to grab a baby like that because the baby is kind of fragile when it comes out the womb so there is a possibility they might the baby in a way.

C-section
When I come to the point of having a baby I don't think I would let my wife have c-section because itvolves to much cutting and a lot of blood lost. It looks like their cutting at anything that is in the way of getting the baby out and the more they get closer the more they use that tool to like push the stomach wider. The way they pulled the baby out to was kind of crazy because the baby some what doubled up and they was pulling it out by the legs. I wonder if the doctor know's all the things they are cutting at in the mother's stomach because it seemed lke they was just cutting away to get to the baby.

Natural vs Normal response

I never knew there were two different kinds of birth and the differences that they have. The differences are that a normal birth has medical professionals and the women where paper gowns and there are steel instruments to cut the women if needed to. A normal birth doesn't have loud noises but they use drugs to help relax the women from the pain they have. The doctor is usually the center of attention of the birth meaning whatever they say go and if needed to wait on them so they could finish something else then the pregnant women would have to wait. A natural birth non-professionals such as your love ones and there aren't any paper gowns, it is more of a nude thing than being covered. There are no drugs involved to calm the women down and there is a mid wife there helping to deliver the baby.

My thoughts on this is that women prefer a normal birth or a normal birth is most likely to happen because people probably trust that more than having a natural birth at home. I think people prefer it better because they grow up learning more about a normal birth in the hospital and all theories that different people have about them. To me I think that a natural and a normal birth are the same, but they are down in a different way and there is certain rules to follow to make sure that things go the right way. If I had a choice I would probably pick a normal birth because I know more about a normal birth than i do about a natural birth and I have more of a thought of which one would go better than the other.
