HW 39 - Insights from Book - Part 2

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.
        Well with what I read, and the part I'm up to in "Ina May's Guide To ChildBirth", the movie didn't talk about the spiritual connection between the mother, the child, and the deliverer which can be beneficial during delivery which Western medicine has seem to forgotten with the choas of the advances the the modern world. Plus with what we watch and what I read, the connection between the mind and body and what that does to affect the process of labor and birth.

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).
       
         
3. List 5 interesting aspects of pregnancy and birth discussed in the second hundred pages that you agree deserve wider attention (include page number).
          
Page 137: "What can be more liberating to an expectant father than to know that his loving words to his partner may give her strength and energy to make her birth crossing easier..."
          Page 154: "Occasionally, the father of the baby experiences more pain than the laboring women herself."
          Page 165: "Labor pain is a special type of pain: It almost always happens without causing any damage to the body."
          Page 183: "Out of these very different conceptions of women's bodies and the meaning of birth have come two separate models of maternity care: the midwifery or humanistic model of care and the techno-medical model of care."
          Page 185: "Mind and body are considered to be separate within the techno-medical model model of birth. Because of this, emotionial ambience is of importance only when it comes to marketing the service."
          
4. Independently research one crucial factual claim by the author in the second hundred pages and assess the validity of the author's use of that evidence.
