ASSIGNMENT 3

Watchthe video The Business of Being Born in this Module. The quality is notgreat but I can no longer find it and it is worth watching.

Watchthe Video and then Join in the Discussion. It is 58 minutes long butvery informative if you believe in empowerment for women and nature! Italso makes you aware that you have choices as a woman and don’t have tolet the medical institutions control your birth.

Go to the place on Module that says Business of Being Born Video and left click on the blue link and then Open in a New Window..

Since1987 until 2006 our maternal death rate doubled. This is not goodnews. One thing that we know has changed is more and more medicalinterventions are performed on women before and during birth, hmmm?

After watching The Business of Being Born video answer these questions:

1. What are at least three ideas or facts you learned in watching the video?

2. How do you think you might educate yourself if you were pregnant or the partner of a pregnant woman about birth?

3. What is one question you have about the video?
