"Hey - thanks for writing Baby Catcher Your main idea of the difficulties that midwives face and the unique experinces they face with women and their pregnancies made me rethink pregnancy & birth.
"Really, which parts were most effective or important for you?"Well, in the last third of the book you focused mostly on the aftermath of families who gave birth with a midwife and how you made an impact in their lives and just how close and personal the families become with a midwife. (added another angle to/further developed the first 2/3rds of the book. But let me be more specific." And then you listed the top 3 ideas/pieces of evidence/insights/questions from that final third of the book.
1. when you had the conversation with Grace the baby you gave birth to
"But what could I have done to make this a better book - that would more effectively fulfill its mission?" You Answer "Well, let's be clear - your text sought to provide historical aspects for the book-reading-public to better understand pregnancy & birth in our culture. Given that aim, and your book, the best advice I would give for a 2nd edition of the text would be, how birthing has changed over the years or how midwifery has changed. But I don't want you to feel like I'm criticizing. I appreciate the immense amount of labor you dedicated to this important issue and particularly for making me think about when I get pregnant what I would choose. In fact, I'm likely to choose a home birth with a midwife differently as a result of your book." The author replies, "Thanks! Talking to you gives me hope about our future as a society!"

I like the way the book is organized by the stories that are similar. Each story is its own chapter and their told throught the point of view of the author. The major question I think the question book is trying to answer is why do people choose to give birth the way they do? because in each story their talking and comparing about how each patient gave birth and why they did it the way they did. Parts that I found interesting in the book was the story with Zelda and how she basically took charge of her own birth process. In the hospital the docotors are always in charge and trying to get you to take drugs but she constently said no but it gotten to the poin. that it was life or death if she didnt take the drugs. One thing that deserves to be publically advertised is how doctors want the patients to get a C section and will give them high amounts of drugs so that cab happen. I think this is unfair because all these drugs could affect the baby which isnt fair.
