Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The history of childbirth is a history of pain and suffering. The more advanced a society is, the more pain is accepted as a symptom of childbirth.
#2 The history of obstetrics is very young. In the middle of the nineteenth century, there was no anesthesia, and there was no knowledge of asepsis. It was difficult for people to visualize the state of affairs when limbs were amputated, abdomens were opened, and caesarean sections were performed without any anaesthesia.
#3 The theory has not been found wanting, and no criticism has been justified by experience. Vast numbers of women have found comfort and safety in this approach to childbirth. The sordid melancholy of prospective motherhood has been replaced by fearless and impatient longing for the moment of life’s most satisfying achievement.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

The history of childbirth is a history of pain and suffering. The more advanced a society is, the more pain is accepted as a symptom of childbirth.

#2

The history of obstetrics is very young. In the middle of the nineteenth century, there was no anesthesia, and there was no knowledge of asepsis. It was difficult for people to visualize the state of affairs when limbs were amputated, abdomens were opened, and caesarean sections were performed without any anaesthesia.

#3

The theory has not been found wanting, and no criticism has been justified by experience. Vast numbers of women have found comfort and safety in this approach to childbirth. The sordid melancholy of prospective motherhood has been replaced by fearless and impatient longing for the moment of life’s most satisfying achievement.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

The leaders of all sorts of religious organizations recognize the importance of motherhood and the value of the newborn child. The millions of followers of free churches in the United States all turn to the spiritual associations of childbirth and motherhood.

#2

The power of women in the home has been recognized by politicians for years. The infants of wavering constituents are photographed in public being kissed by the prospective candidate. But with what result. Vast sums of money are spent on constructions and productions for economic prestige and sometimes profit.

#3

The development of the human race to a higher standard of mental and physical efficiency is extremely limited and disgraceful. We do not demand more numbers, but better quality.

#4

There are many groups of doctors, the largest and most important of which have the least influence on the ethical trend of their organization. They are called Hippocratic doctors. They work silently among the people, in their homes and in their hearts.

#5

The medical profession is full of different parties that disagree on how to treat motherhood. Some want to look after their patients when they have babies, while others do not.

#6

The modern education of women includes the glorification of their inborn potentiality, but it also hides the science of living behind feigned expediency.

#7

There is a war against women happening in many hospitals and maternity organizations. Women are being kept in ignorance of the truth of childbirth, and they are being unquestioningly submissive to the recommendations and demands of the obstetric profession.

#8

The modern day obstetrician has a responsibility to the nation as well as to the parents and homes, and they strive to follow the Fear-Tension-Pain Syndrome. They educate women about pregnancy and childbirth, and explain the importance of allaying their fears and giving them confidence and courage.
Insights from Chapter 3

#1

The author, a doctor, was once asked to deliver a baby girl in Whitechapel. The mother did not want any anaesthetic, and the delivery was painless. The author began to realize that there was no law in nature that could justify the pain of childbirth.

#2

The emotions play a role in the natural function of reproduction. I began to realize that the nature of labour was not responsible for the emotional state of the woman, but the emotional state of the woman was responsible for the nature of the labour.

#3

The average woman associates all that is beautiful in her life with the process of becoming a mother. It is the implementation of the power of life by the universal forces that govern all things to the end that the human race will survive.

#4

We must be prepared to accept the opinions of others and consider their evidence and arguments. We cannot disregard the scientific knowledge and conclusions of those who believe in a divine omniscience.

#5

The vast majority of women today believe in some form of religion, and believe that there is an omnipotent power ruling their lives. This power is often referred to as God. But I believe that there is a limitation to science, and that the expanding boundaries of human knowledge have only reached the foothills of the towering mountains of omniscience.

#6

The theory of natural childbirth is as follows. Superstition, civilization, and culture have brought about fears and anxieties concerning childbirth. The more cultured the races have become, the more they have emphasized the dangers of childbirth.

#7

The philosophy of childbirth is in the reality of its spiritual manifestations and the incomprehensible miracle of its mechanism. It is a woman’s reward for the physical achievement of pregnancy and parturition, and it is an endowment of spiritual force that enhances the receptivity of divine guidance in motherhood.

#8

The birth of a child is a demonstration of the incomparable genius of a creative force. The gentle touch of its irresistible power and the violence of its tenderness in mother love has to be experienced, examined, and repeatedly observed to understand its true value.

#9

The care of the physical components of reproduction has been the main focus of obstetrics for a long time, but the raising of the human mind cannot be accomplished unless men and women are guided by the creative and directive spirit.
Insights from Chapter 4

#1

The ovum, fertilization, and the development of the baby in the uterus are all explained in a short note. The child is born with testicles which have moved down from the abdomen to the scrotum. Each testicle has over one mile of sperm-producing tubules.

#2

The male element is ejaculated from the penis into the vagina of the female at the culmination of coitus. The mature sperm cell has a long, thin tail which, by waving in a compatible medium, enables it to move towards the opening in the neck or cervix of the uterus.

#3

The baby is developed at the end of the first month, and is fed through its navel by a cord which is attached to the placenta.
