ChildbirthChristina Fisanick While childbirth is one of the most natural acts a human can experience, there are a lot of issues surrounding it. Should fathers be present at childbirth? Are grandmothers a burden or helpful during childbirth? Do birth plans improve childbirthing or over-complicate it? Are epidurals safe for pain management? These and other questions are debated and answered so that readers will think critically about their own opinions on each topic. Sources include Childbirth Connection, The Kathi Carlisle Fountain, Fatherhood Institute, Carolynn Bauer Zorn, and Rebecca Eckler. |
