OB/GYN: Labor And Delivery

Decent Essays
I have chosen the area of OB/GYN to research and explore, more specifically the labor and delivery. I don’t have any experience when I comes to delivery children but I will take classes in the future that will help me with this. I have taken physical science, biology, parenting and I’m taking chemistry. Next semester I’m taking health science and next year I’m taking AP biology classes because I love helping people.

In my research paper I will be explaining the history of becoming an OB/GYN and labor and delivery. I’ll explain what the women have to go through in order to have a strong and healthy pregnancy. The many things OB/GYN’s have to do, what all classes they have go through in order to be certified, what procedures they have to perform

    The documentary “The Business of Being Born” is an eye-opening film in which home births and midwifery are compared to the aspects of having a hospital birth. Not only does the film focus on these very important pieces to the overall birthing experience, it also portrays similarities and differences between giving birth in America in relation to countries worldwide. With that being said, if one is unfamiliar with any type of birthing experience, one may feel this film is strictly biased towards home birth as the overall message of the movie depicts that for most low-risk, uncomplicated pregnancies, a midwife and home birth is the safest and most cost effective way to have a baby. In terms of comparing obstetric care in the United States to countries worldwide, it very clear that changes can be made.…

    The readings for today’s lesson were chapters 3 and 4 from the book “Maternity Rolls” by Heather Kuttai. The chapters tell Kuttai’s journey through pregnancy and childbirth. From what Kuttai states, it seems as if pregnancy was a very difficult time for her, emotionally and physically. It was difficult emotionally because although Kuttai and her spouse were very excited to be pregnant, not everyone was equally excited for or supportive of them. Kuttai states “I saw the man ultrasounds as many opportunities to see the sex, but I was terribly disappointed when my ultrasound technician refused to pass this knowledge on to our doctor, and therefore on to us.…

    C-section births can be performed either in the labor and delivery unit or operating rooms depending on the facility. If allowed, the partner or a support person may accompany the woman for support. Just prior to beginning the surgery, a “time out” session is held where all members of the surgical team ensure that the right procedure is being done on the right patient. In addition, if the patient is allergic to any medications, this should be stated in the “time out” session as well. Furthermore, the nurse can assist the patient during the procedure by positioning her so that the uterus is displaced laterally to prevent compression of the inferior vena cava.…

    Introduction Luke Dobson is a 43-year-old man with severe learning disabilities and epilepsy. He has lived in a residential home for 10 years since his parents, who are now in their 70s, had difficulties in keeping him at home. However, they still visit Luke regularly and describe him as a ‘charming, strong and energetic man’. Luke cannot communicate verbally so he uses a mix of Makaton sign language and some of his own special signs. Unfortunately, one night Luke suffered a stroke and was admitted to a general ward in a hospital on the other side of town which was about 25 miles from where his parents lived, which was an issue for them because they wanted to be included in the decision making process for Luke.…

    Joining the New Visions program was one of the wisest decisions I have made. When nurses that I shadow at Unity Hospital express how jealous they are that they didn’t have a program like this when they were in high school, it reminds me to take advantage of this opportunity that not every student receives. I am confident that when I graduate college, I will be able to recollect this program, and how it led me to be successful. I will reminisce about the long hours dedicated to each college-level assignment in determination to receive a grade in the high 90’s, or that moment when I witnessed a five pound baby be born from a cesarean delivery, or even when I stood next to the operating table observing a total knee replacement surgery, while the surgeon and nurses took the time to teach me about what they were doing--an opportunity that not even college nursing students were able to see. Every assignment I completed, conversation I had, and person I met, has transformed me into a more educated and open minded student.…

    The process of labor differs in every woman. Not all women have a natural birth or follow the stages of labor and birth step by step. Labor is an unpredictable process that may or may not happen on the expected delivery date. For example, I had the opportunity to provide comfort when assisting a patient on the day of her delivery. Labor and delivery require support, patience, and hard work from the health care team.…

    Assessing the current and historical health history of the pregnant woman directs the appropriate antenatal care, allowing planning of appropriate intrapartum management, whilst preparing postpartum and postnatal care options. Effective antenatal advice provided by midwives’ enables the patient to make informed choices regarding care during pregnancy (3Centres Collaboration, 2012e; Australian Health Ministers’ Advisory Council [AHMAC], 2012; AHMAC, 2014). Reviewing and monitoring progress throughout the pregnancy, whilst conducting appropriate tests enables the midwife to provide evidence-based individualised care, detecting any changes that may require intervention (3Centres Collaboration, 2012e; AHMAC, 2014). During the initial pregnancy confirmation appointment typically with a General Practitioner a referral is made for blood group testing, confirming the woman’s blood group, rhesus factor and red cell antibody…
