DIY Deliveries: More Women Go It Alone (US)

[s361768]

why did your midwife take off for coffee break while you were pushing? That is terrible

and yes I am amazed to at what the wonders of modern science has done for western medicine but health care is political and women do not benefit as much as what they think in this country. Womens health is very defragmented. It is controlled and think about what info and health choices we have access to...why and why not?

birth control options and inequites re. this for women of diff social class. (there was a male birth control drug but was taken off market because it caused lose of libido, boo hoo think about how birth control effects womens health) Treatment in settings and access to appropriate councelling in case of unplanned/unwanted pregnancy. Also the way women are made to feel about their bodies in todays society is not GOOD,

I could go on...but I wont However this has a lot to do with womens reproductive lives. Women need to make more demands for appropriate health services and quality of care but the bad treatment doesn't just apply to pregnancy labour and birth
