I agree, we don't have the extended family sort of support systems in US
and everyone lives , essentially at a distance from every one else. It
isn't as easy to watch child rearing as in a village where everyone knows
or is related to everyone else! I think the strangeness of being in
hospital instead of on your own territory increases the discomfort of labor
and leads to the need for more and more drugs. It's just a vicious cycle.
More meds, more tech and so on.
And alluding to what Nikki said, it could also be learned behavior. Lay
here in this bed, be a "good" patient and do as I say.
Unfortunately, fogginess is what we have
to work with. You & I both know it "should" or "could" be different, but
it's not. Sad. And I don't have the feeling that it is going to change
anytime soon! So sad. Sincerely, Pat in SNJ
