Birthing Experience

I am going to talk about the birth of my son. I remember it being a wonderful experience. He was my first child and I did not know what to expect. I remember being scared and happy at the same time.I was in labor for 8 hours and it seemed like 8 days. I just wanted my labor to hurry up so I could meet the person that has been inside me for 9 months. I received an epidural which took away all of the pain. I was numb from the waist down which made it hard for me to push. When he finally arrived words cannot explain the way that I felt for him.instantly feel in love with him.I choose this example because having my son was the first time I have been around the whole birthing experience. I think that the birthing process can have an impact on a child's development because if something goes wrong during the birthing process it could affect the way that the child develops.

I researched the birthing process in Japan and learned some interesting facts. It is not traditional for men to be present during birth. Only a few hospitals offer epidurals. Midwives do all the work up until the baby comes. Women usually stay in the hospital for a week.

There are differences between women having babies in America and Japan. Every hospital in America offers an epidural. Husbands are allowed in the room during the whole process and Women usually only stay about 2 days unless they had a c section.
