Stillbirth

informative and can be extremely beneficial for whomever decides to have a child one day. Count the Kicks is a campaign formed by a group of women from Des Moines, Idaho who endured the loss of a child “associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, such as stillbirth” (Kilen, 2017), or decreased fetal movement during the pregnancy process. When this group of ladies started to form, they all discovered that other mothers who informed them that they too had endured the same hardship prior to them…

illegal drugs, the fetus does as well. You aren’t only putting your own life on the line, put also the unborn baby. Exposing the fetus to drugs can increase the baby’s chance of being premature, have birth defects, be under weight and possibly cause stillbirths. Babies born by mothers who use drugs often have problems later on in life such as, slower than normal growth, learning and behavioral problems, and can perhaps cause sudden infant death syndrome, which is the unexplained death of a child…

My research objective is to find the birth places of Ernest and Emma Kundig. My first step, I took was to visit Ancestry. I searched the 1920 United States Federal Census. I decided this must be my first step since it was the only source the client had about their ancestor. I discovered from this census that Ernest and Emma immigrated to the United States in 1893. Another piece of information, I learned from the census was the birthplace of Ernest and Emma. He was born in Switzerland…

Global theme two is comprised of the organising themes of compassionate care, bonding and connecting and support. The findings of this global theme will now be discussed. The literature provides numerous definitions of compassion and compassionate care. Dewar (2013) defines compassion as the need to recognize and support human vulnerability. Kearsley and Youngson (2012) describe the fundamental principles of compassion as the ability to appreciate the suffering of another and to develop…

potential problems. Fetal movement is an important sign of a baby’s health. Studies have shown that decreased fetal movements are associated with pregnancy complications, including growth problems, preterm birth and stillbirth. The use of kick count charts help decrease the risk of stillbirth by reducing the delay in intervention. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends that expectant mothers note the time it takes for their baby to complete ten movements, at…

Throughout the novel, Mary Shelley ties many aspects from the novel to her life, but the way that she does it is very subtle. Shelley takes characters from the novel and based them off of people who were involved in her life. She based Victor off of herself, people can tell from the similarities of how he creates the monster just like she failed to create a child. Mary Shelley’s brother was a large part of her life and she made him Victor’s best friend Clerval. Also throughout the novel Shelley…

In 1849, the painter and later author Dante Rossetti met a woman by the name of Elizabeth (or ‘Lizzie’) Siddal, who sat as a model for artists of the Pre-Raphaelite period. She at the time modelled for Walter Deverell, and Rossetti became fascinated by her beauty. Only two years later in 1851 Rossetti had her as a model, which progressed to the point of her being his sole model and inspiration and him forbidding her from modelling for other painters. He often used her likeness for paintings of…

used after a perinatal loss, they do not end there. However, esteem, network, and belonging are important aspects to coping with perinatal loss long-term. According to Dubenetzsky (2017), “The research found that parents who have experienced a stillbirth often do not find themselves supported by their social environment” (p. 203). This is thought to be because either the perception of a death in the womb is less significant than the death of an established relationship with a child outside of…

Beth A. Bailey, professor at East Tennessee University did a study on alcohol consumption during pregnancy that addressed many of the risk aspects of spontaneous abortion, stillbirth, pre-term birth and sudden infant death syndrome. Spontaneous abortion is defined as when the baby dies in the first 20 weeks of pregnancy. Several different studies cited showed slightly different results of the amount of alcohol necessary to create…
