This assignment is based on the following requirements -
1. Using online or text sources (make sure they are accurate – if in
doubt, send me the link and I can verify), research the birthing
experiences of women from British Columbia and two other, distinct cultures. Compare and contrast the following:
i. Home or Hospital Birth more common?
ii. Who attends the birth? Midwife, Doctor, spouse, females relatives?
iii. What kind of medical interventions are available? Is there common use of epidurals, sedation drugs, caesarean deliveries?
iv. What is the experience of the mother and child following the birth? Are there any rituals following the birth?
2. What would be your ideal birth plan in terms of the questions above? Give some rationales for your choices. ( I understand that many of you are not planning on starting a family in the near future, so think hypothetically – and yes, you can consider these questions if you are male – you’re a big part of this. )
