Birthing Interview Research Paper

Kimberly 03/02/2013 ECE: 312 Birthing Interviews

My name is Kimberly feusi and I interviewd two women who gave birth in different decades, one woman in 1983 and the second women in 2006, both women gave birth in the United States, Sacramento. I’m researching prenatal care, and birthing experiences, to see how times have changed and to see if some things have stayed the same. I interviewd Vickie first she gave birth on the 5th of October 1983 and her experience was different from Ann Marie who gave birth on the 5th of January 2006. Vickie was sixteen at the time of her first birthing experience and she was offered classes to show her how to care for a new baby, she took those classes, but Ann Marie was 16 too at the time of her first birthing experience and not offered any classes for her first birthing experience in 2006, but I looked up some resources
Both parent had to have blood work done and test to make sure both baby and mother were healthy. Ann Marie had ultra sounds done at certain months and she remembers that when you are at 20 weeks most doctors can tell you what you are having, she found out she was having a girl and she got lots of pitchers of her baby girl. Prenatal visits are important and are given to you to help keep you, and the baby healthy and to follow how your baby is growing. Vickie did not get to pick her own doctor; her doctor was picked for her. Ann Marie got to choose her doctor and get to have a tour of the hospital, and Ann Marie had a good relationship with her doctor. Some times in this decade you are not always able to pick your own doctor but most of the prenatal women have that
