The only birthing experience that I have seen is the birth of my son. He was born October 23, 2012 at Bolivar Medical center. It was an exciting experience for me so that is why I chose this story. He was born 9lbs12ozs. What i remember is my wife constantly slapping herself on the leg repeating that "come on Chaundakay you can do it" she must have said this for a couple of hours. The scary part is when he came out he had no response my heart just dropped and all I could do was have a blank stare, didn't want to cry and upset my wife but after about 40 minutes they allowed us to come see him and he was fine. How birth has an impact on child development is this is were a child's life begins and the future of the rest of their life can begin.
In China when a baby is born, they are already considered to be a year old. Praise is never giving to a new baby from China because they believe this is an invitation of ghosts and demons. These things are different from my culture because when a baby is born he/she is considered a day old. And also when a baby is born we get our baby blessed to bring God in their life and try to keep the devil away.
I really enjoyed reading the post about the birth of your son. I had never watched a real live birth until I watched the video for class. It was very interesting I do not see how people watch real live births all the time. Im glad that your son came out ok. How many children do you have?
ReplyDeleteI only have one child and that is my Kevin Jr.
DeleteI enjoyed reading your post and I also discussed China. Interesting to learn about how China don't praise the children when they are born. This is an example on how each culture is different from our culture.
