My most memorable moment in time

 

My first birth experience was in 1977, I remember this, like it happen just yesterday. I was young when I first gave birth to my 7lbs. 4 1/2 oz. little bundle of joy. When I first went into labor, I thought I was having cramps, they kept getting harder and harder. then my water broke, my mother told me that I was about to have my baby. I stayed in labor for twelve hours. The doctor thought that I was going to have to have a ceasean section, but thank GOD, that I didn't. I remember the doctor telling me to push, push. Then he told me to stop. I chose my first birth experience beacuse I wanted to share my story with my collagues.My thougths about births and the impact on child development is, it gives you the insights on how amazing  infants grow to toddlers, and then into adulthood.

 

I chose the country Brazil, because the culture of the Caesarean is done in this country like it is in the Unites States. In much of the world, the procedure is intended only for high-risk pregnancies. Here, Caesareans is  removing a baby through an incision in the abdominal wall have come to be seen by many women as modern and desirable, as opposed to normal childbirth. Part of this is driven by Brazil's male doctors, because their decisions are not questioned by patients.

The cultural phenomenon are two fundamental issues is  time and money. Doctors say they often find it more convenient to schedule a Caesarean rather than let nature take its course. In different parts of Brazil, caesarean sections are planned for Friday afternoons. They nicknamed it the Beach Caesarean sections because doctors don't want to be distrubed on the weekend. The Brazilian doctors are put on salaries for deliverying babies.
