The Natural Way of Birth has many pros and cons on comparison to the American Way of Birth when it boils down the the experience and cost of each.
Argument #1
Pros of the NWOB
-more comfortable for the woman
-no drugs needed
-go at the woman's pace
-less hectic, a calmer environment based on the love of the people around the woman. The woman can choose her environment(the people, the place, etc.)
Argument #2
Pros of the AWOB
-insurance covers the hospital birth
-the woman is already in the hospital if any complications occur during labor.
-If the woman does not want to continue her labor anymore, she can choose to have a Cesarean section.
-A woman had more options in a hospital )epidural, pitossin, c-section, circumcision, etc.)
Argument #3
Cons of the NWOB
-insurance does not cover the cost of a home birth.
-If medical attention is needed from the hospital, there may be unexpected problems.
-Tremendous pain
-The woman had to endure her labor as long as long as she can without pitossin or an epidural.
Argument #4
Cons of the AWOB
-hectic scenery at the hospital. many people shouting and going in and out of the room, non of which is the woman's doctor until active labor starts.
-the nurses and doctors choose the pace of the woman's labor by controlling it with pitossin.
-the doctor decides if a c-section is needed based on how long you have been in labor already, not based on any complications of the woman.
-the woman is kept in one stationary position so the doctors can have more "control" while the woman would have an easier time giving birth if she was in a position she was comfortable in.
