@NATROM: news of a celebrity who wants to “give birth in an indigenous Amazonian village”. We all have our own values. It’s fine if she thinks that “the traditional way of childbirth is close to the ideal.” However, the man’s partner’s comment, “In a sense, the Amazon is the ‘safest’ place to give birth,” is indeed ridiculous. In what sense is it safe? @NATROM: if it’s “I know it’s risky because I can’t rely on modern medicine. Still, I think it is the mother and child who bear the risk, not the partner. Incidentally, the maternal mortality rate and perinatal mortality rate of the Japanese are as shown in the image. I believe that childbirth in modern Japan is the “safest” of any country in history. image @NATROM: this kind of story reminds me of the old saying “(people) sing the praises (enjoy the blessings) of peace” I am reminded of the old saying in The reason why some people mistakenly believe that it is safe to give birth in the Amazon is because safe birth is taken for granted in modern Japan. However, that safety is based on the efforts of obstetricians and midwives.
