Reduce C-Sections, Change A Hospital's Culture By Amy Dockser Marcus

George C. Stoney’s educational film, “All My Babies: A Midwife’s Own Story” (1953), was produced for the Medical Audio-Visual Institute of The Association of American Medical Colleges. It was used to educate midwives in the south. The face of “All My Babies” is midwife Miss Mary Coley. She was an African American midwife who had experience in this business for eighteen years. In those eighteen years, she delivered one thousand, four hundred healthy babies.

Caesarean sections are a common form of birth in the 21st century. Caesarean sections are performed in a variety of situations including complications in birth, emergencies, and high risk pregnancies. Usually, once a mother has one Caesarean section, all babies after will also be delivered by Caesarean section.

Scholar Stephen Greenblatt, in Shakespearean Negotiations looks into the relationship between medical and theatrical practice, raising the questions: How does a play come to possess sexual energy? Quoting early modern physician Jacques Duval, Greenblatt gives an account that early modern anatomists believe that “erotic heat” is crucial in determining sexuality and gender. In fact, gender in the early modern period, as Greenblatt argues, is “teleologically male.” Through heat, according to Greenblatt, the struggle between male and female seed is determined and the male genital organ emerges from its “hidden” place. Linking the perspective of the medical discourse to theatrical practice, Greenblatt argues that the concept of individuation of

Logic is man 's most valuable asset; it is what pushed humanity past other species and helped develop humankind into what it is today. Without such logic and reasoning, humanity would not have evolved into the strongest and most powerful beings alive. It is what has enabled us to dominate the world, create civilization, unlock the secrets of the universe through math and science and reveal the true nature of man through art. One of art’s most beloved benefactors, William Shakespeare, crafted his most famous character, Hamlet, to be the living embodiment of this God-given reason. However, we learn throughout Hamlet’s eponymous play the irony in the

In the United States, the process of childbirth is far more dangerous for African American women than it is for White women. For African American women, the path to a healthy birth is riddled with barriers. There are many health disparities between the two races. African American women face much higher low-birth and infant mortality rates; the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has published that although infant mortality rates in the U.S. have dropped by over 10% in the past ten years, a large gap continues to exist between the health of the races during the entire childbirth process. (World Health Organization, 2010) In the United States, Black infants are more than twice as likely to die within the first year of life as a White infant, and this disparity has not seen advancements in the last century. Many of these deaths can be attributed to low birth weight, and preterm birth among black infants.

A Caesarean section/C-section is when you deliver a baby through a surgical incision from the mother’s abdomen and uterus. A C-section would have to be scheduled in advance, which would be called an elective caesarean. An elective caesarean is when a pregnant woman decided to plan a caesarean section, because of personal circumstances and preferences which include having a previous caesarean sections, baby is positioned bottom or feet first and can’t be turned which is called breech, the cervix is blocked by the placenta, the baby is lying sideways and is not able to be turned by the doctor, twin pregnancy having the first baby positioned bottom or feet first, and having more than three to more babies. This procedures is also very similar to

A cesarean section, also known as a C-Section, is an alternative to natural birth for a woman that is in labor. Although some people believe there is only one way for a woman to have a baby, some emergencies might be present and the mother-to-be can not have the baby vaginally. Also, some doctors would rather have a woman with herpes to undergo a C-Section rather than to have the baby naturally so the baby will not be born with the disease all over its body. C- Sections are a medical procedure that could save lives and prevent diseases.

Individualism is defined as someone being independent and self-reliant. Because of new restrictions passed by the Texas legislature, majority of abortion clinics are closing. They believe terminating these clinics would be a good means; thus many women would not be able to obtain an abortion. However, every woman is different and should not be seen as a group. Having a child does not affect all women in the same way. Women have abortions for many different reasons. According to Melody Rose’s book “Safe, Legal, and Unavailable” nearly half of all pregnancies are unintended and 54 percent of those unintended pregnancies end in abortion. It is stated that majority of women are not financially able or responsible enough to bare a child. Every woman

The article is about modern medical interventions, such as C-sections, which saves many of infant lives. C-sections have become more popular surgical advancements, making them safer and cheaper. A cesarean section is a surgical operation for delivering a child by cutting through the wall of the mother's abdomen. 10-20% of births require a C-section worldwide and it's one in three births in the United States. Since C-sections have become frequently popular surgery, doctors are questioning if the procedure is saving lives or determining evolution. C-sections saves the child whose head is too large for the birth canal and also saves the mother who cannot push the baby out of the birth canal. Since we ability to walk upright and, as a result there

Does everybody think or feels the same about childbirth around the world? This question above is a question that has always been in my mind. Now that I got the opportunity of choosing a topic to do research. I decided to choose childbirth and culture. This research paper is going to talk about how different cultures and countries look a birth in an entirely different manner. Some look at birth as a battle and others as a struggle. And on some occasions, the pregnant mother could be known as unclean or in other places where the placenta is belief to be a guardian angel. These beliefs could be strange for us but for the culture in which this is being practiced is natural and a tradition. I am going to be introducing natural and c-section childbirth. And, the place of childbirth is going to be a topic in this essay. America is one country included in this research paper.

A Cesarean section (C-section) is when a baby is delivered via an incision made in the belly and uterus. There are numerous reasons why a pregnant lady might need a C-section rather than having a vaginally delivery. It is not suggested, though that this kind of delivery be done unless one of these reasons is existing, as there are more impediments with this type of birth than with a vaginal birth. There are varieties of C-sections: planned and emergency. A planned C-section may transpire for quite a couple of reasons: • The baby is in a breech or slanting position.

William Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet’ composed in the years surrounding 1600 has for centuries been universally recognized as flagstone of the western literary canon. This has led to in-numerous performances, re-interpretations and analysis as generations of individuals try to interpret how a play composed for a Renaissance-Elizabethan crowd can still demand universal appeal. Part of this appeal can be attributed to Shakespeare’s ability to accurately reference intellectual, historical and philosophical proceedings of his time and hence present these in the characterisation and narrative devices of his works. This is no different in ‘Hamlet’ with Shakespeare illustrating the philosophical ramifications of a heliological revolution within Renaissance

Do you prefer a home or hospital birth? This is a question most women don’t ponder upon until they are actually pregnant. This research is done on the opinion of those who do not have any children. Home births give parents their own privacy, comfort, but also limit their access to medications and medical professionals. Hospital births provide the parents with the option of pain medications, medications for the baby and emergency caesarian section.

To understand a text, critical analysis and evaluation of its language are required as it allows for a deeper understanding of the moral principles presented. Texts contain value because of its artistry and relevance of its messages that are able to transcend time, such artistry is presented through characterisation and use of language choices. An example of this is William Shakespeare's revenge tragedy play, Hamlet. Shakespeare’s Hamlet is a portrayal of an individual’s existential struggle with issues of a moral nature. Shakespeare engages audiences in an exploration of the self-destructive process that can result from indecisiveness about a moral dilemma.

In “We Do Abortions Here: A Nurse’s Tale” by Sallie Tisdale, the readers are given a reflection on the experience of working as a registered nurse in an abortion clinic. In the text, Tisdale is very descriptive of how it is like to work in an abortion clinic through the use of imagery. Tisdale portrays a certain level of disconnectedness to the whole procedure itself in how she uses strictly scientific language in order to give insight as to how the procedure is carried out, along with providing thoughts and feelings based on observation, internally. On the other hand, in “The Condition of Black Life Is One of Mourning” by Claudia Rankine, it is started off with a mother, having just given birth, already fearing the day her son could be
