A British male obstetrician once said that women should endure the pain of childbirth because anesthesia affects the mother-infant relationship. Dennis Walsh says the pain of childbirth should be seen as a \”special experience\” and a \”meaningful and useful experience\”. He analyzed that the pain of childbirth prepares women for motherhood. Associate Professor of Obstetrics at the University of Nottingham, Professor Walsh criticized the \”universal anesthesia\” in the UK healthcare system.
