A young pregnant woman who does not speak English is in labor and has just been admitted to the hospital. She is agitated when male practitioners are in the delivery room, but she interacts with the female practitioner present. Her husband refuses to come to the room when he is asked to. What is the most likely explanation for the behavior of the woman and her husband? In some cultures, childbirth is considered a “woman’s experience,” and men are not allowed to be in the same room as the woman when she delivers the baby. In some cultures, childbirth is considered a “family event,” and people unrelated to the mother are not allowed to be in the same room as the woman when she delivers her baby. In some cultures, childbirth is considered a “private experience,” and only one person is allowed to be in the same room as the woman when she delivers the baby. In some cultures, childbirth is considered a “natural experience,” and doctors who are trying to administer drugs are not allowed to be in the same room as the woman when she delivers the baby.
