The child is seen as the anchor that binds the family together, and the joy that brings life to the home. Having a child is also seen as a privilege for many couples as not all families are privileged to be able to have a child due to medical complications. However, there are some instances for those who could have children report birth problems or birth defects in one or two of their children. There are many possibilities on why birth ...

Introduction

World-wide, adoption has become a widely accepted alternative to birthing children. Throughout the United States, approximately 135,000 children are adopted each year (Claridge, 2014, p. 112). In every adoption case, an adoption triad is developed. This adoption triad consists of the adopted parents, the adopted child and the birth parents. This paper attempts to analyze the grief that is experienced throughout the adoption triad, as well as the different counseling models that can be implemented in order to assist these individuals.

Nonetheless, minority, black, and older women are deemed to have more exposure to child birth complications. Additionally, women who have various health conditions such as heart diseases are more likely to experience childbirth complications. As such, women who have medical conditions are normally advised to visit their ...

For over the years, there is a relative increase in cases of children with birth defects. Recent statistics with regards to the American babies suffering from birth defects reveals that for every 4 and a half minutes, there is a new case of baby born with a birth defect, which can also be summarized as 120,000 incidents of child birth defects every year, and it is expected that the number of child victims will rise for the succeeding years (Center for Disease Control and Prevention). Birth defects on newborn babies may affect almost any part of their body ...

One of the more controversial stereotypes that have stuck with most people is the role the order of one’s birth has on his or her personality (and life). Whether a person is a first born, middle child, baby or only child seems to have a lot of assumptions about how that individual behaves and responds to life. The questions remains, what difference does birth order make, and how true is it that birth order can even have an impact? Looking at the various studies regarding birth order, most of which have looked at or used the example of ...

Overview of contraceptive use in America

Close to 60 million women in America are estimated to be at the appropriate age of childbearing. Majority of this group are sexually active but always in fear of becoming pregnant.

Introduction

There was a time when women, in order to rid themselves of unwanted pregnancy, would risk their lives by inserting coat hangers or knitting needles into their vagina to abort a child. Abortion, which refers to the process of terminating pregnancy after a woman has conceived, is debated largely even today. One better way to avoid the circumstances that lead to abortion is to go for birth control options that inhibit pregnancy in the first place. Today, there are a number of birth control options available including contraceptive pill, patch, vaginal ring, IUD, diaphragm, male condom, female condom and implant, but the most ...

What is the underlying meaning of Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper”? I feel a strong desire to know more of what Gilman’s message was. I don’t see the strong connection between Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper” and post-partum. It is only because I was informed of the post-partum underlying information that I was able to make the connection. I find this story fascinating because this story comes into my life when I find myself being 6 months pregnant with my first child. When we read this class, I was taking birthing and parenting classes in which we ...

Mothers should be punished for giving birth to Drug Addicted Children under the following justifications; Mothers are the most important unit in the impacting of morals to their children. In the event criminal tendencies of children stem from the same mothers, it is reasonable to charge mothers of the crime that associates them to lack of duty of care and absolute recklessness (IFC International). Similarly, the event that leads to the giving birth to criminally oriented children can be as a consequence of blatant intentions by the same mothers.
Mothers should be at a position that enforces them to go ...

Pregnancy and childbirth is the most important period in a woman’s life. In a menstrual cycle that is normal for a person and has the duration of 28 days the release of an egg called ovulation generally takes place in the range between the 12th and 14th days of the cycle. Egg must be fertilized in the fallopian tube not later than 24 hours after that, or it dies and dissolves.
Pregnancy on average lasts for 280 days if we count from the first day of the last menstrual period and 266 days from the time of ovulation. To calculate ...

Introduction

Oedipus tragedy is predicted even before his birth in the oracle of Apollo at Delphi, as his father, Laius, will meet his fatal death in his hand and he will marry his own mother, Jocasta, when he grows up. The oracle is the major reason for his parents to infanticide him. Aristotle, the great Greek philosopher, adverts Oedipus as a best example of tragic hero ever. Aristotle’s panorama about Oedipus is vividly described in the following lines: “must be one who is highly renowned and prosperous-a personage like Oedipus” (Poetics XIII paragraph 2) and “he who hears the tale ...

This study examines the individual personality differences in young adults’ shyness. For a long period, developmental psychologists have focused on shyness in children. Growing evidence of shyness in young adults, especially in college and university levels has prompted researchers to delve deeper into the development of shyness in young adults and how it can be avoided. Shyness in young adults could be genetically predisposed or could be as a result of environmental consequences. The best means of tackling shyness in young adults (in colleges and universities) require synergy between instructors and parents (guardians). Young adults who are shy have always been ...

Birth control encompasses methods used in the prevention of pregnancy. Examples of birth control methods among women include; the use of IUDs, female condoms and birth control pills. As a concept, birth control and its subsequent decisions is affected by both political, social and socio-cultural factors. These factors and their impacts when it comes to approaching the topic of birth control affect both the patients and the care providers. For instance, from a political point of view, there are countries that have constituted laws that govern the use of birth control as an approach for controlling population. In countries ...

The relationship between vocational preference and ordinal position has been extensively researched; some family psychologists, as well as sociologists, believe that birth order plays a role in choosing one’s career, and this has formed the basis of personality development theories (such as the Alderian Vocational Theory), which propose that birth order has a significant influence on vocational behavior. However, some researchers have come up with contradictory results, and this puts to question personality development theories linking birth order to career choice. Nevertheless, one thing is for sure; there is need to carry out further research on the matter. Despite the ...

Participants

The population that was sampled in this study was all mothers that gave birth to infants with a birth weight of less than 2500g at Tuanku Jakaar Hospital over a five-month period. This population was highly relevant to the study. The study employed random sampling to choose the respondents1. The study of all births taking place on the same day, with no exceptions, gave a proper representativeness of the population. Random sampling ensured that the respondents were a representative of the population in Malaysia. Taking into account all the races in the diverse Malaysian population, the study avoided a recruitment bias that would have ...

The decrease in world’s petroleum and oil supply has led the nations to look for alternate sources of energy. As a result of this short-supply, unconventional gas reserves are gaining importance as alternative source of crude oil, where the unconventional gas reserves are estimated to contribute to 45% of the US gas production by the year 2035. Large-scale extraction of unconventional natural gas has resulted in the development of new and untested extraction technology such as hydraulic fracturing or hydrofracking, which is expected to develop rapidly in the next few decades near human settlements and pose a health hazard (Adgate, ...

The 14th Amendment and the Protection of Civil Rights

QUALIFYING CITIZENSHIP
Abstract

The 14th Amendment, and its “Citizenship Clause,” has been the means by which questions of citizenship are resolved. Over the past two years, a group of state lawmakers have sought a way to change the constitutional meaning of citizenship by circumventing the 14th Amendment without seeking to alter the Constitution itself. The attempt to create a dual birth certificate system is their attempt to identify and separate the American-born children of illegal aliens. In a violation of due process, this move to redefine what it means to be an American citizen is a legal matter, requiring the amending of the ...

Introduction

Overpopulation has become a global concern. In 1650, the world population stood at only 500 Million. The human beings had only been in existence for a period of a million years. In the next two hundred years the population doubled! Now the people were in the range of 1 Billion. After that the population growth was even more staggering. Within the next 80 years, the population had again doubled to 2 Billion people. It took almost forty years for the population to double again to four Billion. Clearly, the world has to deal with the situation because the resources that the population ...

Postpartum Hemorrhage

Introduction
Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a significantly life-threatening complication that can occur after both vaginal and caesarean births (Ricci & Kyle, 2009). Simpson and Creehan (2008) define PPH as the amount of blood loss after vaginal birth, usually more than 500mL, or after a caesarean birth, normally more than 1000mL. However, the definition is arbitrary, attributed to the fact that loss of blood during birth is intuitive and widely inaccurate (Ricci & Kyle, 2009). In line with this, studies have suggested that health care providers consistently underestimate actual blood loss, thus, an objective definition of PPH would be any amount of bleeding ...

Introduction

During pregnancy, many changes are experienced. There is change in the body, emotions, and the family life. These changes are welcomed, as they are unavoidable, though they result to new stress to someone’s life.

The demographic transition model and how it was developed by the demographers

Demographic transition is a model describing change in population over a particular period and it is based on two demographic characteristics; birth rates and death rates. The model was developed by Warren Thomson, an American demographer, after observing experimented changes of various countries’ birth rates and death rates over the last two decades (Wilson, 2007).

Four phases of demographic transition model

The four phases of demographic transition are; pre-transition, early transition, late transition, and post transition. During the pre-transition phase, population growth is described to be low. Crude death rates are higher than crude birth rates and so population is declining. During the early transition ...

Hispanics or more commonly known as Latinos have been considered as the largest and youngest minority group in the United States. According to latest surveys, the United States is currently composed of 14% Latinos or Hispanics. Individuals belonging to this minority group share a common cultural heritage and even language. However, being classified as a Latino or Hispanic does not necessarily mean that the individual share common race or ancestry with other individuals in the minority. More often than not, individuals belonging to this group are a mixture of European, Native American, and even African ancestries (Burchard, et al., ...

Gendercide in India is an issue that is not new to the country; it has been going on for centuries and today the practice is still in vogue, even though, there is much awareness on the issue today. Gendercide is practiced due to a variety of reason, mostly discrimination and that too with the female child in place of the male child; where most Indians wish they have male heirs and sons after them rather than giving birth to females. Many cultural, social, as well as religious ...

History I Section 263

The practices of childbirth and delivery have changed drastically throughout history. With the advances in science and technology and growing knowledge over the years, America has been delivering healthier babies than ever. But unlike now, in early America midwives played a large role in child delivery and child care, “When the English settled in America they brought the traditional English customs and practices of childbirth to the New World.” Midwives were more than just someone who delivered a baby; they also acted as the nurse and were a friend to the pregnant woman throughout her labor. Midwives felt a lot of responsibility for ...

Preterm or premature births pertain to births earlier than 38 weeks of gestation. The WHO (2013) estimates that each year around 15 million infants are born before 37 weeks. The preterm birth rate varies across 184 countries but range from 5-18% of all live births. On one hand, estimates show that approximately 75% of preterm mortality can be prevented even without intensive care interventions (WHO, 2013). On the other, prematurity has become the top cause of newborn mortality with over a million deaths every year which accounts for 35% of total newborn mortality (Lawn et al., 2012). Third world or ...

The National Center for Health statistics established the birth rate for teenagers aged 15-19 to be at 31.3 births per 1,000 teens as at 2011 (Phila.gov, 2011). This number has reduced arguably as compared to the previous year where rate of birth among teenagers was quite high. For example, in 1991, birth rate among teenagers was at 61.8 per 1,000 teenagers and this number has continued to reduce because of various programs initiated to curb rampant teen pregnancy. The preterm birth dropped to 11.7 percent while the rate for low birth weight babies considerably ...

Breast cancer continues to be the primary cause of cancer morbidity and mortality among women. Significant variation is observed in breast cancer survival rates from one geographic area to another (Jemal et al., 2010, Curado, 2011). Interestingly, while the Middle East, along with sub-Saharan Africa and Asian countries have the lowest rates of breast cancer in the world, the incidence has been rapidly increasing over the last twenty years, as it has been with other cancers (Amoori et al., 2014). Some of the factors that play a role in early detection include improved screening practices and education (Curado, 2011). .In ...

Introduction

Since the revolution in many Arab countries, the number of orphan children has consequently increased, for instance in Syria (United Nations Children Education Fund 2). These children are very vulnerable because their basic needs are not being met and their future is not secured (Sherlock 1). Adoption would be a viable solution alongside other social measures. Adoption is viable since many people in the Arab countries would want to adopt children for one reason or another. The impediment is that adoption of children under Islamic law is faced with many bottlenecks. Even if it is possible to navigate the many ...

Ernest Hemingway's short story "Hills Like White Elephants" follows two conflicted and vague characters - Jig and the American. While their big struggle and conflict is never explained, it is implied that these two characters were or are in a relationship, Jig is pregnant, and the American wants her to have an abortion. The silent treatment Jig gives the American and the requests made by the American show us their personalities. The hesitation for both characters to talk about the issue at hand shows the often delicate nature of relationships when unexpected but traumatically changing situations face them.

Teenage pregnancy is associated with a myriad of risk factors. Amongst them are the physical risks for mother and child, as well as psychological and sociological factors that should not be underestimated. Some 11% of the births worldwide occur in women 15-19 years old and the problem is particularly acute in lower income countries such as sub-Saharan Africa, Bangladesh and India. (Gibbs, Wendt, Peters, Hogue 2012; Conde-Agudelo, Belizan, Lammers, 2005) Adolescent childbirth has been linked to poor maternal and child health outcomes even though this may be linked to poor education levels and economic status that these families usually have. ...

Infant mortality is one of the greatest worldwide problems. In a report prepared for CNN, Jeff Green (2006) states that “An estimated 2 million babies die within their first 24 hours each year worldwide and the United States has the second worst newborn mortality rate in the developed world.” Available statistical data is more than frightening. In terms of this paper we would like to focus our attention on risk factors and specific dangers that newborn babies face during their first year of life. In addition, we will discuss low-weigh birth babies and dangers they will have to face during ...

Part:1- Vaginal Delivery – Qualitative Study

This study encompasses a series of revelations, which were apparently hidden from medical science. Researchers have advanced that regardless of the consequences emerging from women’s health irregularities, repeating a second cesarean section (CS) birth after a first one is usually the norm among Western countries. However, most experts recommend vaginal birth after Cesarean section except there is marked evidence of cephalo-pelvic disproportion is recommended (Nilsson, van Limbeek, Vehvilainen-Julkunen, & Lundgren, 2017).
Currently, evidence shows that rates are decreasing. They also vary from one maternity organization to the other as well as country. The study being reviewed researched 22 women ...

` The evolution of human beings is closely related to the evolution of the human brain. Brain capacity demonstrates how humans evolved from primitive to modern forms. By examining brain capacity across three different species of primates, namely Australopithecuas Africanus, Homo Habilis and Homo Erectus, it is possible to notice how brain capacity drastically increased, and with it, other modifications also took place, thus allowing modern humans (Homo Sapiens) to evolve into the present form. Based on primary research, this paper will examine brain capacity as a fundamental evolution characteristic, and will trace the transformations which took place from one ...

Patterns of development can be referred to as the emotional, psychological and biological changes that happen in human beings from birth and until the end of adolescence stage (Shaw et al. 677). It is a perpetual process with foreseeable sequences though it is valuable for every child. Typically patterns of development do not advance at an even rate, and every stage is impacted by the previous type of development. Development in human beings occurs due to genetic factors leading to maturation. Also, learning and environmental factors play a role in the development of children. Typically, the first five years ...

However, as within the results of this study in which the RNs studied a group of 264 students between the third and sixth grade, the indication is that anger control is a determinant for BP levels in children but anxiety does not indicate any statistically significant influence (Howell, Rice, Carmon & Hauber, 2007). In essence, for children with appropriate anger ...

Indigenous Midwifery Practices in Canada

Introduction
The indigenous people of Canada are the initial occupants of the present day Canada. They include the First Nations, Inuit and Métis. The indigenous people had a solid cultural health infrastructure even before the advent of modern medical system (Waldram, Herring & Young, 2000). The cultural health system had elements like midwifery, surgery, diagnosis and prescription principles. However, by the transition of the cultural health systems through periods of colonial influence, they have been significantly diluted. The indigenous body of beliefs about healthcare, wellbeing, spirituality and physical health, were considered deficient and substandard to the colonial health systems ( ...

Abstract

Maternity coverage or insurance can be endowed by the employer or an individual can secure an insurance policy or plan by himself/herself. Taking an insurance cover by women for their maternity costs or midwives for their practice is an optional resolution. However, taking an insurance plan is beneficial compared with the reproductive complications that can result in the absence of a cover. Midwives also get covered for the services they offer and any other work related uncertainties.
Insurance in midwifery simply refers to the costs covered during the practice of midwifery, that is, pregnancy, birth, and post delivery period. ...
