1) In the book Guide to Childbirth by Ina Mys, the second part of the book talks about the realizations of these woman and their birthing experiences. Most of these births are done at home, and the rest are at the hospital. This book has taught me that a woman's experience at home is more relaxing than a birth at the hospital. The perspective from the book is basically saying that home births are better than a birth in the hospital. It doesn't go very in depth to a hospitals births perspective.
2) The major insight the book tries to communicate that it is trying to bring people back to the natural wonders of child birth. A quote about the book by Alice Walker said, "We have forgotten this simple fact for far too long" she also said,"There is nothing more important than how we are born"! This is significant because all of the stories told by women were nice stories and a great experience for the women, the author did this to keep the reader interested. And to confirm that a childbirth without a hospital and medicine is better.
3) - One aspect told from birth in this book is it is almost a one sided story, it is all good experiences when there is more than that.(page 126)
- A second aspect is how all of the women talk about the same thing. How their contractions were the things that were almost causing the most pain while in labor.(whole part one)
- A third aspect is how after the stories from women end, the author comes and talks about her own experiences as a midwife which was interseting compared to the stories in part one. (127)
- A fourth aspect is how the book is more told on a home birth side of the story, rather than a hospital birth
- A fifth aspect is how the book was able to be told from different perspectives of women at first then told by the author.
4) "All of the women included in the study were eligible to have a home birth, meaning that they had no conditions that could put them at higher risk for complications, such as diabetes or heart disease" http://bastyrcenter.org/content/view/1768/&page=
