 thankyou so much for this extract. i am fearful of labour itself, but this has made me think about it in an entirely different and more positive way.

 this is a negligent article. in these past times the author so fondly references, mortality during childbirth was high, as it remains to be in areas of the world that lack modern medical care. yes, childbirth is a natural and, sure, a beautiful thing, but to imply that it is no more dangerous than eating may influence people to engage in the very dangerous practice of home birthing. if there is a complication, you will be glad to be at a hospital. it is not necessary to be frightened of childbirth, but it is necessary to be prudent and rational about it.

 isn't it funny that the negative comments about non-hospital birth all came from folks in the usa? as an immigrant, it just boggles my mind how indoctrinated many americans are that hospital is the best place to birth...too much tv and special interests selling fear, fear, fear. if giving birth in hospital is so great, how come our infant mortality rate is so bad, despite the fact that most americans go to hospital to deliver? oh, this crazy country! god made our bodies just right to give birt...without being poked, prodded, disturbed and thus stressed by strangers every few minutes.

 i am in nigeria as my hubby works here i am 5 motnhs pregnant second baby going to give birth here again no doubt preganacy is not easy and when labour time cums we feel for a moment i dont want it any more but as soon as baby is our hands oh as if he has given us the whole world happiness in a moment motherhood to be felt only by our innerself.when my first baby was given in my hand i expressed it as if it a loaf of bread.all the very best to all the to be mothers.

 i dont completely agree with what the article says. while child birth is a natural process and there is no need to fear it, there is a need for medical assisstance. in my grand mom's generation the infant mortality rates were amazingly high. both my grandmother's have lost atleast 1 baby. one of my friends recently delivered prematurely after going through a complicated labour. if she was not in a hospital, there was no way the baby would have survived. so, while i agree that pregnancy and child birth are natural processes and there is no need for us to fear labour, i think if we could get some help, without harming ourselves or the baby, than why ever not?

Country: India
 i cant comment on this now exactly as i'm expecting my first baby and i'm eight months pregnant. but seems that now i have a choice to make as to whether go for normal or cesarian. anyways good to read the article, indeed confidence boosting. while reading the same i was thinking about my mother with all the three of us born in a normal delivery.i think article is correct in saying that when the time comes we will surely have the courage to deliver baby thru natural procedure.

 i am expecting my first baby and am 8 months pregnant; prior to reading this article, i was very scared about normal delivery but after reading this article i could gather little courage for normal delivery.one thing is true, giving birth to a child is the biggest achievement of mankind but it is painful- no doubt about it.but i guess the joy of holding the child in the arms shreds away all the pain.

 i m a indian and mother of a girl.i m two monthes pregnant again.i m very happy bt i m scared as well.like first time i am feeling the fear of labour pain.giving birth is not easy for a women bcoz it is soooooooo painful bt every women want this pain and i pray to god that he give at least one chance to every women to be a mother

 my first thought... "obviously written by a man". i think when men give birth then they can talk about how "beautiful" and "natural" it is. during the 1800's...you know during that beautiful and natural pre-hospital time period... the maternal death rate in the us was as high as 50%! and that's just the death rate... not the life long complications from childbirth. and even now, the maternal and fetal death rate in some countries is still obscenely high.

Country: South Africa
 i agree with what the article say.i am 8months now in my first pregnancy. this article have empowered me a lot,i have heard about labour pains but i tell myself that i'll bear the pain no matter how hard its gonna be,i just wish that god could be with me at that time.i only fear 1 thing,the way that other nurses in public hospitals treat people when they are giving birth.on this side you have to bear birth giving pains while on the other side a nurse is busy shouting and beating you.people of south africa please help me answer this question.what do you do when you face this situation?
