The book has taught me about Cesarean sections and where importantly a part of history where it became. It also was talking about how C-Sections are the safest procedures to have done when having babies. Just like the movie they talked about how lots of celebrities such as Posh had her babies to work around her husbands schedule and how they make it popular for everybody else. It was talking about how the some woman given drugs they didnt ask for and for unneccesary c-sections that did not need to happen and then end up killing their baby. Interesting aspects i found was when they were talking about taking the baby's limbs out onee by one i thought that it was sad and pretty gross it was called a craniotomy.(Pg.104) Another thing was how one doctor took out the reproductive glans of one patient and how they would just tear up their insides.(pg.113) One story that caught my eye was the woman with Cancer and she had lost a limb and they in the end she died and so did her child too. It said that she decided to have a c-section but later changed her mind and then the family ended up suing the hospital.(Pg.121) I liked the fact that they were talking about how a man by the name of William Smellie who taught men how to deliver babies. It was very strange, they didnt have no actual experience and they would dress up as woman in disguise.(pg.135) The unsusual labor positions. (pg.181) I researched c-sections vs.natural births and it was saying that risks are much higher for c-sections and can cause emotional damage as well as physical. Women with c-sections are more likely want to give birth again. There are much more risks with c-sections than natural birth. http://www.naturalbirthandbabycare.com/vaginal-birth.html
