Childbirth In My Life and Around the World

I have had three childbirth experiences in my life. But, the most exicited thing that I experience in child birth is being bless to see all of my granchildren being born so far. I can remeber when my first grand was born he was born premature this was a very scary moment for me and my daughter but, over all the baby came out fine and healthy and only had to stay in the hospital for a short period of time. My second grand was born around the holidays I can remeber my daughter praying that she did not have the baby on Christmas  so that she can be able to eat for the holiday and she had the baby the day after Christmas so her prayers was answered. I remeber when each one of my grands was born I would examine them all over I would make sure that they had all of their hands, toes, ears. The last grand that was born was one of the best moments I remeber the doctor allowing me to cut the umbilical cord I was so excited!!! my personal experience each time with the hospital was really good they staff was very polite and nice and the labor and delivery went very well with no complications. I choose these because this was a very important part of my life being bless to she each everyone of my grandchildren being born in Labor and delivery.

Looking at Europe they a presaude to choose home birth. They use mid wives and obstetricians and Gynaecologist to support their birth at home. The feel that a low risk mother should consider birth at home because this will benfit them and it will be more safe them and their baby.In comparision with the U.S. may years ago they would have mid-wives to deliver the baby but, now we have hospitals that have qualifed staff and doctors to the deliveries.
