Personal Birthing Experience

        I remember two months ago when I gave birth to my third living son. The labor were so fast that they did not have time to give me any medicine for pain. I was at home and when I got up to use the rest room around 3 one morning my water broke. I had to wait for my mom to arrive to take me to the emergency room and I was in pain all the way there. The emergency room is about 45 minutes from my house. And my mom live about 30 minutes from my house. Soon as I arrived it was time for me to push. I was at 9 centimeters. The bad part about it is that I was going in labor 5 weeks early. I chose this one because it is amazing how I delivered 5 weeks early and my baby were more healthier than my other two babies that I delivered 3 weeks early. To me birth have a big impact on child development because some children that are pre term have problems later in life.
        Over 60% of preterm births occur in Africa and south Asia, but preterm birth is truly a global problem; countries with the highest numbers include Brazil, India, Nigeria and the United States of America. Of the 11 countries with preterm birth rates over 15%, all but two are in sub-Saharan Africa. In the poorest countries, on average, 12% of babies are born too soon compared with 9% in higher-income countries. Within countries, poorer families are at higher risk. I learned that Africa and South Asia births are majority pre term.
