This week in class I learned about birth. I also learned about what midwives are and how natural birth can be safer and a life changing experience. Midwives help women give birth at the woman's home or are sometimes in the hospital room when the woman is giving birth and make sure the doctors do not trick the mother into doing sosmthing that is unnecessary to give birth. Natural births are safer and less expensive because the midwives do not pump unneeded medicine into your body unlike the hospital, and natural births are less harmful because their isn't medicine that can easily harm the baby.  I learned that doctors have been tricking woman into getting cesarean sections instead of giving vaginal birth because they want the operation to go faster or because it is easier than vaginal birth. As well as all of that I've learned that the United States' births are two times as expensive as other countries' but we have more mother and infant deaths than any other country. I leaned a lot of interesting stuff this week.
