Non Medicated Birth Essay

Decent Essays
I agree with you that the doctors are presented partially during the birth process. Looking back, I remember I spent the majority of my labor with a nurse, not with my doctor; however, my doctor helped me throughout the entire delivery process and had a manageable and non-medicated birth to my first child. Also, back then, like you, I was young and was not informed about midwives. If I would have known, probably I would have considered having a midwife, someone who will be there during my labor, however, would prefer to give birth in a hospital as well, since I believe that hospital is cleaner and the doctors are able to find quicker and clever ways to deal any serious complications that might

    It was not hard for me to decide who I wanted to interview for this assignment; my mother has given birth naturally to four kids which simply demonstrates one of the reasons why she is the strongest person I know. My mother was extremely young when she first got pregnant at the age of eighteen while still attending high school. She did not know anything about being a mom or what the birthing process would be like so during her first pregnancy she decided to take a Lamaze class to help her have a better understanding what her pregnancy and birthing process would be like. She had her first child at a young age, got married at a young age, and got divorced at a young age, but now my mom is the strongest woman I know especially after everything she has gone through in such a short time. A year after my parents got married I was born and was the fourth child my mom delivered, but being my dad’s first and only child.…

    The middle class back in the 1960s was not opposed to the ideal fact of poor black women substancing a birth control pill to stop them from having children. The argument for this time was the middle class wanted them not to take the pill, The counter argument that African American women at the time questioned by the authorities were that they were afraid if the whites made them take birth control pills than they control how many kids they are having. One article reads “ Under slavery, African American women were encouraged to have children to increase a plantations owner’s wealth. After the Civil War, when African Americans were no longer valuable property, the view among white supremacists abruptly shifted. It became desirable to decrease…

    When a baby is born prematurely, the baby is not finished developing, which result in complications when they are born. When infants are born prematurely, born three weeks or more before full term, or have a low birth rate, they have to reside in the NICU for as long as possible, so they can be under watch. The prenatal environment and the NICU are very different for the infant. The NICU has bright lights, loud noises from screaming babies, nurses, and machines, which can also have an effect of the baby’s brain development. Because the infants are not accommodated to their senses being aroused, they can become over-stimulated.…

    Birth defects are bad to every parent. However, what if you found out that your child's birth defect wasn't caused by something you did or ate during your pregnancy or that it wasn't even caused by nature, but, instead, what if you found out that it was caused by hospital neglect, or more importantly, doctor neglect? This is one of the types of cases that birth injury lawyers handle. A Birth Injury Can Mean A Lifetime Of Medical Expenses…

    I had an RN, NP, and Dr. who were amazing. They knew my daughter incredibly well, and I knew I could go to them at anytime (even if they didn’t have her that day) and talk to them. With the PIE, they would say “We can’t give you any guarantees, but most babies with PIE recover. Most of those babies go home. Today is a good day and there’s no reason we should focus on anything other than her going home around her due date.”…

    This health policy attempts to reduce the number of adverse birth outcomes caused by a dearth of preconception care. The evidence-based interventions suggested in the policy are primarily focused on education and testing. Attainable education-based interventions include a focus on nutrition related to folic acid and iron intake, avoidance of environmental hazards such as pesticides, lead, and methyl mercury in fish, and family planning initiatives including birth spacing and contraceptive methods. Testing, when it is feasible to do so prior to conception, gives mothers and babies the healthiest start possible.

    Early diagnosis of postpartum depression is very important because it has an effect on how an infant is progressed early on in life, but what is more important is it can also affect how that child grows emotionally later on in life. The health of an infant is determined by the work that parents put in, and a depressed mother is sometimes unable to provide what is needed. As a child grows they tend to mimic the emotions that they see and with a depressed mother those emotions can effect how that child develops. This is why it is essential to implement screenings for all mothers before leaving the hospital and also at their check-up visits. The key to correcting this problem is realizing that it is something that can affect any mother no matter…

The first thing that I did not know what when babies are born the hole in the bottom of their heart closes, a procedure that can only be done on adults with open heart surgery. I never knew this before. Babies can swim, I had also thought babies could not swim. When you see a baby you do not think they would be able to, so to see this was shocking to me.…

    Birth practices can vary by culture and two of the cultures that I found interesting to read about regarding birth practices are the Chinese culture and the African culture. In this discussion, I will describe a few of the beliefs and rituals of each and if these cultures are similar or different. The Chinese culture highly regards family as a vital unit of society and a birth is accompanied by certain rituals (Singapore National Library Board, 2013). In order to not disturb the fetus and help avoid injury or miscarriage, pregnant women are advised to refrain from any strenuous activities, such as heavy lifting, moving furniture, or outdoor work and avoid speaking offensive words and looking at anything unsightly.…
