Anybody who even kind of knows me, know that I have a mild obsession with Spain. It is a place that is on my bucket list to visit! So, when asked about childbirths in other countries, this was a no brainer! However, the information I found was rather interesting. I came across a blog called Bibsey which is name of the author's baby. In this blog are all types of topics ranging from childbirth to parenting. The link below is to the topic "10 Things I Can Tell You About Giving Birth in Spain." This article will have you looking all types of puzzled and confused at some of the stories. Enjoy. :)

The one thing that stuck out to me was number 10. One A Positive Note, I hate that this mom had such a sad memory of her child's birth. I have never had children before and I hope to never have such a traumatic experience. My heart goes out to her because I hear such amazing stories about children being born. Spain has to do better with creating a better experience for moms and really understand what they are dealing with. I definitely want to visit but, maybe not have a baby there.
Did you have a comment of a personal nature? I do feel sorry for moms that have hard experiences with delivery. I had a hard delivery with my son, but he was worth all the drama!
ReplyDeleteI just read the link and that is horrible. It's very disturbing to hear of all the things the staff did that not only went against her birth plan, but also contributed to what should have been an exciting time. Prior to reading this, I was under the assumption that most childbirths occurring out of the country were seemingly "more sacred in terms of enironment and support. Not saying that the US lacks so much, but I felt we(US) had ways of which we could learn from others. After reading this, it seems Spain could learn from us..... as well as other counties.
