The childbirth I wish to write about is that of my grandaughter. That was one of the best days of my life. I was there for the birth along with the father. My daughter was not in active labor in the begiining. The hospital was actually considering sending her home. A few hours later she was in actual labor. I held my daughter's hand and comforted her through it all. I was so excited thinking about I can't wait to hold her, who will the she look like, and how much will she weigh, all while praying for a safe birth for my daughter and granddaughter.
I chose this birth because it was a great experience participating in a birth that was an addition to my family. This birth reminded me of the day I delivered my daughter.
Birth is a wonderful experience. It is amazing to me to actually carry another living person inside you and to actually deliver this living person into this world. Once this baby is born, the thoughts of will they devlop normally, what kind of child will he or she be, what will they grow up to be, and so on.
Most women in India give birth at home with no skilled medical attendant. the infant mortality rate is high because of this. The women are isolated so they won't be around any pollution during birth. Some of the women lie down during birth, while others choose to squat on a stool or the floor.
India births are similar to the United States in regards to both have hospitals where women can give birth and women lie down to give birth.
With the quality of care being poor in India, babies have a high chance of having poor development. There needs to be more skilled medical professionals to assist in the assurance of a healthy pregnancy and delivery of the baby.
Hello Brenda,
ReplyDeleteIt was good to hear that you were there for the birth of your granddaughter. Birth is a special and unique experience.
Im blessed to be in the US because in some countries they do not have the resources we have an giving birth at home is the only choice they have.
I look forward to working with you. Have a great Day!

Hi, Brenda
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your story. I am a mother, but I can see how excited you must have felt to have your baby give you a granddaughter. You are a lucky lady and i hope you enjoy her everyday. To think about the practices that occur in India, it breaks my heart to know that pregnant mothers are not given all that they need. Everyone should consider themselves lucky that get adequate care to give birth to their children.
I am so glad I was given the opportunity to have my son and everything turned out okay. I do not know what I would have done if I was not cared for so well by all the doctors and the nurses.Babies should have the opportunity to have a chance at a healthy life inside and outside the womb. Good luck to you in the next upcoming weeks.
Hi, Brenda,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading about you being able to experience the birth of your granddaughter; seeing the birth of a grandchild is extra special. Being that the quality of care in India is poor compared to the U.S., I'm glad that the delivery of your grandchild was a safe and healthy one!
