SAN CRISTÓBAL DE LAS CASAS, Mexico – In the face of the alarming rate of cesarean sections in Mexico, some doctors are becoming midwives, a role traditionally fulfilled by indigenous women. One such caregiver, Dr. Cristina de la Cruz Sada, operates a house in southern Mexico to serve women who want to have a greater say in their deliveries.
In a culture in which childbirth is commonly facilitated with surgical intervention, de la Cruz Sada promotes an undisturbed childbirth that attends to the natural rhythms of delivery and celebrates the arrival of a life.
