Back to Wondering...

After doing quite a bit of Webbing, I must go back to Wondering. What do I want to know about the different options for controlling pain during child birth?

Here are a few of the questions that came to me as I was searching and learning:

What is the actual process that the doctor/patient goes through to carry out the particular method?
What are the reasons the different methods work or don't work for individuals?
What are the side effects -- for mother and baby?
Are there any reasons the method should not be used?

I guess I am experiencing recursion at it best. Stripling and Hughes-Hassell stated it best -- "recursion...is invoked any time the researcher determines that the emerging complex of relationships has undeveloped areas, logical errors, or incongruities" (141). I have found undeveloped areas in my need for researching this topic and am going back to clarify my search.
