MY PERSONAL BIRTHING EXPERIENCE

 I have not exprienced a personal childbirthing. I have two childrens but they were adopted. Health reasons occured which caused me not to be able to have children however I have a daughter and and a son. I drove one one of my sisters to the hospital to deliver. I sat in the labor room with her while the nurses connected her to the monitors to keep a check on her and the baby vital signs. When she reached 6cm.,the nurse came in and gave her and epidural shot,quickly after the shot the contractions started coming quicker,that's when I left out the room,the next minute the doctor came out and said that she had a baby boy.
 I did research on how women deliver in Japan. Majority of the women in Japan refer to deliver their baby at home with mid-wives and then go to the hospital after the baby is born to make sure the baby and herself is okay. Japan have several small hospitals that are just for childbearing. The only differences that I can compare to what I exprerienced by reading about women in Japan is that we are not going to deliver our babies at home and we do not have mid-wives that come to your home for delivery.

  2. I think it is very admirable to adopt a child. You never know what life has planned for you. What a blessing to have the opportunity to be a mother of two children. It's interesting that the majority of Japanese women deliver at home. All cultures have different rituals, beliefs, and ideas on all aspects of life, even childbirth.
