Birthing Experience

I don't remember my birthing experience but my mother told me something very interesting.  Before I was born my older sister use to hit my mother in the stomach, not hard just playing around because she was only 6 years older than me and she was really cling to my mother.  I have a little knot on top of my head and to this day my mother, sister, and cousins tease me saying I have this because my sister was hitting me on top of the head in my mothers stomach.  Nothing came about from it because I came out perfectly normal.  My mother explained to me how she used to read to me while in her stomach and play educational songs that dealt with counting and different stories.  I believe this is why I love education so much and have always loved to read.  I believe it is very important to go about birth in a positive manner and to take care of the body.  A child can be affected by things that go on around before they even come out.  If we listen to the doctors and take every step to perfection, I honestly believe a child's development will be a success.

In China for the last 25 years they have sought to curb the growth of its vast population by restricting many couples to having just one child.  More women are taking fertility medicine to help them become pregnant (Gu Ling, director of Maternal and Child Hygiene) reported.  Seems to me it doesn't matter how many we have in the U.S. compared to China.  Having one child has been promoted as ideal and the limit has been strongly enforced in urban areas, the actual implementation varies from location to location.  In most rural areas, families are allowed to have two children, if the first child is female, or disabled.
