"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.
