My Daughter's Childbirth and Childbirth in Paris

My First Grandchild’s Birth, Ariel Starr Cabbil:

Every child birth is different, but there were nothing like watching the birth of my first grandchild. It was a very special time for me. I had all kind of beautiful thoughts and imaginations of how she would look and react when on the outside of the world. In my mind, I thought another little angle crying and breathing the joy of life into this world as my mother, a friend of my daughter and I sat in her room waiting for the final moment.

I remember while at the house, my daughter called out to me and said mommy look. I went into the bathroom and saw that her water had broken, but she didn’t know what was happening. I explained to her that it was time to go to the hospital because the baby is about to be born. After arriving at the emergency room and having my daughter checked out, the doctor also verified that it was time, no going back now. I watched my daughter lying in the hospital bed having labor pains; looking at me saying “mommy tell them to give me something for pain”. I stopped a nurse and ask is it a good time now for her to have the epidural procedure, but due to the fetus breathing pattern and the way she was position, my child was not able to receive the treatment. I was informed that my daughter had to have natural childbirth instead; it was painful for me to watch, but this was her first child and I couldn’t leave her along in the delivery room. About thirty minutes later it was time for the birth of my first grandchild. The medical team enter the room, put her in position and she begin to push until baby Starr enter the world. Ariel Starr Cabbil weighted 5lb, 12oz and 19in long. I must say I didn’t enjoy seeing my only daughter in so much pain, but I knew it a part of entering womanhood. After all that has been said and done, I’m so very happy to have been a part of the childbirth experience.

I choose my daughter first birth delivery because she was quite young and had no experience about having a child and how to take care of one. I knew her father and I had to step up a notch to teach her how to become a loving and responsible parent in taking care of a little infant. We all were so excited about contributing to the care of Starr’s growth and development. Starr is now eleven years old, in the sixth grade and attends Dunbar Performing Art Magnet School in Mobile Alabama.

You can never be prepare enough for childbirth because it’s a once in a lifetime experience; no two births are alike, but maybe similar in pain. The birth of a child influences the parent to become a better self-sufficient and caring role model. Child development has stages to go through like; biological process (motor skills, brain process, etc.), cognitive process (ability to think, use language and intelligence), and socioemotional this is a process where children learn to interact with other peoples without emotional behaviors. Children should be encouraged to learn through reading books, singing songs, and storytelling. We have to invest in the necessary materials to help children learn, grow, and develop. Some children growth and developmental stages are similar, but in most cases, they are different. I see young children as being unique individuals that would build a strong foundation for adulthood later in life.

Childbirth in Paris

I did research on childbirth in another country to compare the different between childbirth in the U.S. for similarities and this is what I founded out. In Paris childbirth procedures are similar; the medical treatment of choice is an epidural. “As soon as a woman arrives at the hospital in active labor” an epidural block is given. In this country if a woman choose to have natural childbirth, “it is crucial” for her to” find a doctor who supports you” (Parisian, 2012).
