Just want to say something about
rewards:
Yesterday I was looking at my records and
found out that the in last 30 babies I helped to deliver there was just one
c-section. It's a 3% rate !!
I am so happy with that !!
Robbie Davis-Floyd says that the most important
fact that influences the results on the c-section rate, in any given place, is
the individual perception of the caregiver. If this important actor in the birth
scene trully and actually believes a woman can birth by her own capacity, he/she
will make her believe in her inner strength.
I am just saying that because I work in a city
whose middle class women have about 70% c-section rate.
Doctors here are as tecnocratic as possible,
and not enough efforts are been made to change this situation by the
public policy makers, or the medical board.
It's an epidemy, as stated by OMS and other
organisations.
So... I think that it would be a good idea to
reward doctors with low c-section rates.
But, it's just one of the
possibilities...
I think that nothing really profound in this
scenario will happen without the participation of the women involved.
Humanization of Childbirth is giving protagonism in birth back to women.... and
empower them.
