hw 39

the novel first talks about the experiences of people that went through child birth then after that they author breaks childbirth down into sections about labor the psychological  factors of childbirth.
why do doctor say they try and take care of their patience but then when they ask questions or try to question the doctor authority the doctor doesn't want to listen or even try follow the way you want your child to be born?
the most interesting thing was the stories of the childbirth because it seems everybody has a different plan with childbirth and the novel is very descriptive so it can be helpful for the people that are going through childbirth

im reading the novel Ina Mays Guide to Childbirth the first few pages was the introducing the book and how its going to be written the author tries to make the readers more comfortable about their childbirth but on the bottom of the pages there are notes for the reader so they can better understand the novel. like on page 4 is says "read it after you've had your baby, as it is a frightening story , even though the scary story part isn't about the birth process."
in my opinion so far i don't think this novel is trying to answer any specific question because its telling us other people experience with childbirth instead of giving us facts about childbirth and what happens during and after childbirth. it seems if the reader read this book they get a some sort of false idea about childbirth because a lot of people go through birth differently because the first story i read it seemed like the women had to go through a lot to find the right doctor.
i like how the author doesn't goes straight into the childbirth instead the author sort of gives us synopsis of the person having the birth this make the read a little more confutable reading this book. when reading this book its seems like the author writing is trying to take you on a journey because the language is descriptive and makes you picture whats happening even though i don't want to, and i think that is an important aspect in a book about childbirth because it makes it a much easier read.
so far in reading this book is just telling me the experience i think as i read this book more i will have a better understanding of childbirth because after the experiences then it gets into the facts about childbirth
