Research Paper On Being Pregnant
The section that really interested me was the Prescription and Nonprescription Drugs. Being pregnant, I have the decision if whether or not I want to do natural birth or prepared birth. I have been reading the good and bad about doing it. Something as simple as that and people nowadays have no problem drinking, smoking, and taking hard drugs while pregnant. Knowing that there is a precious life relying on you and your body why would you not take care of yourself. Now I am not dissing on people that have done that in the past but it is just people should really think. My mom drank and smoked when I was in the womb and I was diagnosed with fetal alcohol syndrome when I was younger. It has been a struggle to overcome all the obstacles.

    You may begin by asking “what is Premarin?” This is a female hormone replacement drug taken by menopausal women (women that have reached the age where their menstrual period ends) to help alleviate symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes and vaginal dryness (Pfizer). It is a vaginal estrogen medication that can be substituted by a plant-based drug rather than this horrific drug. Now you may be thinking that this may actually be a good drug. Well, there is a dark side to this drug that the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) and popular drug company Pfizer, doesn’t want women to know about. One of those things is the fact that the name Premarin, actually stands for Pregnant Mares Urine. Women are really ingesting horse’s urine. The goal of…

    Traditionally, childbirth has emphasized the joy of bringing a new life into the world. However, with the McDonaldization of healthcare, childbirth seems to be more about standardization over nature. Hospitals have begun to copy procedural ideas of major corporations and childbirth has begun to be centred on efficiency, predictability and control.…

    Gaby Rodriguez’s The Pregnancy Project is a memoir that focuses on the high rate of unexpected teen pregnancies in low income, poverty-ridden areas. Rodriguez’s personal experiences with teen pregnancies through her family inspired her to encourage a change. Her mother and her siblings each became a teen parent, and Rodriguez became a witness to the hardships and struggles faced when teens experience an unintended pregnancy, and struggle to financially support their child(ren), often due to being unable to continue their education. Rodriguez, although many - including her siblings - believe she will make the same mistakes as her family, does not want to be seen as “... just another pregnant teen statistic with no future”…

    “Why do people give into stereotypes other people give them? Why would you ever let someone else's negative thoughts dictate how you’re going to live your life?”(Rodriguez 143) A memoir called The Pregnancy Project is an inside look in daily life of Gaby Rodriguez faking her pregnancy for a school project. The novel is full of heartbreak, some humor, break-downs, and especially drama. The memoir has a good insight and it contains many details in the beginning but it seems like she just gave up with details near the end. Even though the book lacks detail, I recommend this book to teen girls that are in high school or even college because it is very inspiring.…

    Congenital malformations, deformations, and chromosomal abnormalities are the leading cause of infant mortality in the United States. Depending on the severity of the defect(s) the fetus can be diagnosed as being incompatible with life; a term used when a fetus is nonviable or will never have quality of life. Unfortunately, the first trimester ultrasound does not usually reveal birth defects as it is too early in the pregnancy. In the third trimester, or latter second trimester, a routine ultrasound is performed to determine delivery options, to ensure growth, and to check the general health of the fetus. It’s during this ultrasound, a trained professional can detect signs of birth defects. If there is any doubt to whether the fetus is completely healthy, prenatal testing is done. If testing is positive, the parents have two choices. Continue pregnancy or have a late-term abortion. Late-term abortion is difficult decision since a healthy fetus is considered viable outside the womb at 23 weeks gestation. Pro-abortionists would say it is the only choice as it prevents the child from suffering during…

    Being Born

    The most eye-opening statistic to me is that our country spends three times as much money on births, yet we aren’t receiving better outcomes than other countries that perform births much differently. (“Business of Being Born, 2008”) In this industry a lot of mothers don’t know enough about the different types of births. I think the best options for individuals are whatever that family decides that it is. I don’t think Dr.’s or midwifes should persuade either way. The lack of knowledge is what needs to be addressed in the nation, I think more information needs to be explained to mothers that are just finding out about being pregnant, and so they can make their own decisions early…

    Substance abuse amongst women who are of the childbearing ages has risen in the United States, in fact substance abuse is much higher in this age group than with any other age group. While this is a problem within itself already, the problem worsens when a woman who was already abusing drugs gets pregnant. It should be assumed that taking drugs during a pregnancy is extremely dangerous, not only to the fetus but also to the mother. Pregnancy is proven to be harsh on the mother’s body, but when illicit substances are added to the equation there is a different set of complications involved. The purpose of this paper is to inform the general public of the dangers of drug use while bearing a child, to persuade expectant mothers to discontinue substance abuse if any exists, and to expose lack of…

    It includes a wide variety of topics about common discomforts and problems that occur during pregnancy. I learned many different simple suggestions that may alleviate the discomforts of pregnant women. I have learned about most of the natural remedies presented in the article; however, there were a few that I did not know about. For example, some remedies for nausea are infusion of ginger root and smelling ground ginger—I have never heard of these remedies nor was I ever taught that these are effective. I noticed quite a few herbal therapies being suggested and I know that pregnant women must always consult with their health care provider before attempting any kind of complementary and alternative therapies as it may harm the women, the fetus, or both. I did not see anywhere in this article that addresses or warns women to contact their health care provider before attempting any of the suggestions that falls under complementary and alternative therapies. A lot of the remedies are natural and simple that can be done without consulting the provider and are considered safe. Overall, I think that this article is very insightful and provides a lot of information and is written in a way that is easily…
