Write about doctors and how to pick a "good" on and the process that happens when you have birth with a doctor. Then write about midwives and how to pick a "good" one and the process of that. And then what seems to be a better a choice and what I think that women should do and why. And hand it out
The first hour after birth
I am going to ask all my family memebers and even try to ask people who are pregnant about what they thought was going to happen an hour after they have a baby and what was it like.

HW 39 - Insights from Book - Part 2
After having read the second hundred pages (roughly) of your book please address the following points either in separate paragraphs or as Q & A;
1. After MLA citation list several topics/areas the book has taught you about that the "Business of Being Born" either ignored or treated differently or in less depth.
I found that giving birth to the doctor is not about how the women feel r getting the baby out alive. It is about getting it out so that they can go on in their life and do hat they have to do to get money. And that doctors are not really need to be ther becuase women body know what do to .
2. The major insight the book tries to communicate in the second 100 pages (1-3 sentences) and your response to that insight (2-4 sentences).
The book really trys to sellthat mid wifes are better then doctors. And that women can really have the birth that they want to have, As weel as have birth with out much pain. I think that this is good because when I look back my sister had a mid wife and had a good labor. She didn't feel anything and she was calm and had my niece they way she wanted to.
3. List 5 interesting aspects of pregnancy and birth discussed in the second hundred pages that you agree deserve wider attention (include page number).
1. where c-section came from(pg 107)
2. that fathers was not always allowed in the room(pg 127)
3.that men would study women having babies (pg 139)
4.the tools that they use(pg 161)
5. the chair they have to help them give birth(pg 183)

HW 37 Comments on Birth & Pregnancy Stories.
Hey Ally,
I like how you talked about the danger taht comes with having a baby. And how you talked about girls that get raped and don't know what to do with the baby or even if they should keep it. I think that people should think about these things. But I think that one thing that you should do next time is write who you talked to because at first I thought you were talking about your self. But good job
Hey Luz.
I like that you asked people that you were close with and women you look at up. Also how after the interviews you thought about what they said and really thought about how that change you thoughts or mad you think even more how most people feel that way. Great job.
Hey Brandon,
You really seem to think about what these women that gave birth had to say. YOu really seem to understand what they are trying to say about birth. But you should reread before you post. Good job
