1) Basically, this book is organized as the first 125 pages into the book, it is a bunch of true, personal experiences of births told by women. Almost all of the stories were similar in one part when the women were talking about how much pain they were experiencing. But then the pain turned out to be worth it, because the woman talked about what an amazing experience it was. For example, in the Sara Jean's story on page 29, her pain had lasted 8 hours before her son was born, but after he was born she says, "I immediately feel in love with him"(p.32).
2) the major question that this book is trying to answer is How can giving birth be a life changing moment? I think the answer is it is a big life changer because it then has a positive impact on a mothers and fathers life becuase they can add one more person to there family and then extend there own.
3) In the first 100 pages the book talks about life changing moments when women give birth to babies. While giving birth, the women are in drastic pain, but when it is over, the women have a instant bond with there baby. Personally I don't know about this, but my mom told me it is true.
4) Women usually get cramps while going into labor.
- Most women get into different positions before giving birth.
- Most women have a choice to take an epidural or not. An epidural is a drug that helps ease the pain of contractions.
- Women have the decision to decide if they want to have an obstetrician (a baby doctor) or a midwife.
- Giving birth is a wonderful thing but it can also be dangerous.
5) The author uses different stories from different women each telling similar but different stories about their birth experiences. She uses their stories to support her argument that giving birth is a life changing moment.
