3. Major insight:
There are two major insights, one being that woman shouldn't resort to narcotics as a first option when feeling pain during birth, they should try more natural things, such as singing, humming, breathing, dancing, or anything to calm themselves down. The second major insight is that midwives have a different way of looking at birth then doctors do.
"Midwives believe birth is normal till proven otherwise. Doctors don't" Page 58 Doctors resort to drugs and operations to make the process faster, when that only slows it down.
4. My insights: I agree with Peggy Vincent when it comes to midwives think about birth differently then doctors because midwives have a different perspective on birth and are looking out for the mothers best interest, while doctors are just trying to get the pregnancy over with.
Interesting aspects of birth: 1. During the beginning of Peggy's journey with helping delivering babies she hit some walls on weather or not doing subtle things such as changing the way you breath or changing the position someone gives birth really change the amount of pain woman feel when giving birth. 2. Peggy Vincent made it know that midwives should not be seen as someone less then a doctor and that there way of dealing with birth is more reliable then doctors, when dealing with pain and having normal births. 3. Less narcotics a pregnant woman uses during the time she gives birth the better off the mother is in the end. 4. Practice giving birth before you give birth, so your husband can get prepared as well. 5.
5. Authors use of evidence: Peggy Vincent uses a great amount of evidence but mostly based off of personal experience, I haven't read any statistics or anything comparing real doctors to real midwives. In my reading I am touching on the midwife topic so hopeful Peggy Vincent will compare a real doctor to a real midwife and see how the differ.
