Your post was a deep insightful look into not only the problem of infertility, but the stigma surrounding it. A line that struck me was; "Infertility can lead to some women feeling and being ostracized by other women for something that isn’t in their control . "People see them as having a "bad eye" that will make you infertile, too. Infertile women are considered inauspicious," says Inhorn. Other people simply "don't want to have them around at joyous occasions," This was very insightful and evokes anger from the readers, while we think it's outrageous to see infertile women in this light, we can't be sure exactly how we would feel with having people with this complication around our developing children. This project is important because it is really informative and covers a topic we hadn't considered throughout the unit.

Your decision to use a visual to represent your finding was very refreshing and different. The in-depth research of Indian birth customs was on point and actually really interesting. The different rituals involved actually grasped the attention of the class, something not often acheived. Your project matters because Americans tend to be more close-minded about different cultures and their rituals, you brought to light many interesting factors of birth that we may have found odd or different and showed us how what we view to be normal may in fact be out of the ordinary to others. Your project epitomized the course name.

Your fact backed, curiosity fueled look at cesarean sections was a nice read and without a doubt the most informative post I've read thus far. While we went into depth in this topic in class, you managed to compile the valuable facts and necessary information into one informative concise essay, very important in terms of educating the ignorant.

Good job with the elevator speech, I actually came to look at your blog. Your post is a very easy read. It is well written, and well revised. Your in depth analysis of Indian birthing methods, while comparable to Ally and Leah's, is very well done and it is clear your research was extensive. I feel much less ignorant after reading your post, and reading it didn't feel like drudgery. This post is very important because information is key to understanding and acceptance. Those who shun others for their customs are ignorant and uneducated.

I really liked how you found a hsopital that ctually didn't do hardly any c-sections. Most other hospitals seem to do C sections alot, so to be able to find one was really cool. Also when you mentioned C section and you said one of the ladies didn't feel right, it was cool to , because that showed that they are completely against it

Jay,
I really enjoyed reading your interview. I especially liked how the women you interviewed was not seen as the traditional standards of someone in her line of work. Your most insightful line was, t's terrible. I think it's just a convience to doctors and patients (mothers). If you dont want to have a baby on a Saturday, you just have a C-Section. That was interesting because it showed her true opinion on the matter.

I love how the opinion of this woman completely goes against the hospitals beliefs. I dont think it was a bias opinion because she works there and she has the first hand point of view.
My favorite part was,
JM: Do you think it's right that doctors are trained to think every birth is a high risk, emergency/surgical procedure?
N: I think doctors are not educated enough in the natural birthing process. OB/GYNs need more education. When I was in school, we trained with midwives, it was mandatory.
The fact that doctors are actually trained by midwives is really interesting but yet its like the battle of the fittest and they try to out bid one another, they try to prove why they're better than one another. I actually enjoyed reading this post.
