...Childbirth Methods: "Natural" vs. Epidural Birth [pic][pic][pic] [pic] For centuries, women have given birth. Like other mammals, the process is natural or innate. Generally, the baby develops inside the mother, goes through a series of twists and turns and exits the birth canal into a brave new world. Sometimes the process deviates from expected events: The baby doesn't develop properly, the twists and turns are confused or the birth canal is too narrow for the baby's passage. Over the years, doctors intervened during times like these to assist in difficult births. Assistance led to caution and childbirth, though natural for ninety percent of the population, became medical. Today, to have a baby naturally requires women to know what choices are available and to create a birth plan that mirrors their expectations. Methods of Natural Childbirth "Natural" childbirth is the term used to refer to birth without anesthesia medication or surgery. Many women want to have the experience of a natural childbirth when delivering a baby. Natural childbirth also eliminates the risk of drugs harming the baby. Because the natural childbirth method is medication-free, women who choose this method find ways to cope with the pain that comes from delivery. Over the years, methods like Lamaze and the Bradley Method have helped women employ breathing and relaxation techniques to reduce pain. To keep the experience of birth as non-medical as possible, many women choose midwives over doctors...

...| Abortion vs. Child Birth | An Individual’s Cost and the Cost to Society | | | Abortion vs. Child Birth An Individual’s Cost and the Cost to Society “The ability of women to participate equally in the economic and social life of the nation has been facilitated by their ability to control their reproductive lives.” Justice Sandra Day O’Connor (Boonstra, et al., 2006, p.6) Introduction “A woman typically spends roughly five years pregnant, postpartum or trying to become pregnant and three decades trying to avoid pregnancy.” (Boonstra, et al., 2006 p.6) This is more true today than any other time in history. The role women have played throughout history has been that of nuturer. In society today, she must also be provider. With this added duty placed on her, today’s women have had to adjust. One of these adjustments are the number of children she is willing and able to provide for. Advancements in technology in the past century has enabled her to control this, specifically abortion and the use of contraceptives. Hypothesis Changing roles in the family unit have caused the dynamic to change. Women have become the sole provider to the family in many households forcing them to earn a living as well as take care of the children. Conflicting sets of moral and ethical values within society have made their choices more difficult. By controlling which options she has availible, is society choosing for her? When does a specific...

...The birth of a child is a heavy financial and psychological adjustment. According to multiple researchers, women are sill shouldering the heavier amount of stress when it comes to having and raising a child. There were studies done in Australia and Germany on stress levels and the impact of social-economic status. The studies showed, that the biggest impact was psychologically. The results did not differ much within America. Even though the studies showed the biggest impact was psychologically, researchers believe if there was a greater access to childcare then the work/life balance would reduce the stress levels.

...months old boy for about 2 hours in the infant and toddler classroom at Friends Center for Children. Before entering the classroom, I washed my hands and left my shoes on the door step. You were not allowed to wear your shoes inside, because the kids are young and still crawl on the floor. When I entered the room, it was a small room where few babies were sleeping in their cribs and some were ready for their snacks. The infants were surrounded by different textures and brilliant colors. There was only one rocking chair so that the caregiver could feed and rock the babies comfortably. The walls were decorated with animal’s cutouts. On the other side of the room there were cabinets and drawers with the sink in between. All the cabinets were child proof and each cabinet had bins that were filled with the babies extra clothes, diapers, and wipes. There was a small changing table where caregivers changed the babies’ diapers. The room floor was mostly carpeted. The kid’s art work was displayed on their eye level. Age appropriate toys like touch and feel puzzles, dolls, mirror blocks and touch and feel books were on the shelf. Outside of the room there was a cubby area where baby’s jackets were hanging. All the cubbies were labeled with each child’s name, picture and their family pictures. The classroom environment provides many choices for different activities. The infant classroom provides a safe, comfortable, clean and attractive environment in which children can spend and enjoy their...

While on vacation, Sigmund wrote to his daughter often and offered advice on how to overcome the “it” she was suffering from. Half way through the vacation however, Anna received a letter from Sigmund stating she was not invited to her sister Sophie’s wedding and subsequently, Anna was once again overtaken with depression. After her two year stay in Vienna, Anna, "...worked as an elementary school teacher and began translating some of her father's works into German, increasing her interest in child psychology and psychoanalysis.” (Hernandaz, 2008).

...Having a baby is a miracle in itself. In most cases it brings the parents closer together in many ways. Many changes take effect in every aspect of everyone involved from the parents, to the siblings, grandparents and extended family. When a new baby is brought into the home, everything revolves around him. Everyone in the home will need to make changes to welcome the new member of the family. Family dynamics endure many changes. Bringing a new baby home is an exciting time for everyone, especially the baby. The baby is now in a new environment outside of it’s warm, safe and quiet cocoon that it was sheltered in for nine months. Newborn’s generally sleep 2-4 hours between feedings and can get very fussy when they wake in order to be fed. The only skill they have is to cry in order to alert that they are hungry. Without this skill they would not be able to alert their caregivers that they are hungry, tired, or need to be changed. Within the first few days, babies become more alert and give cues to their parents. Being more alert means they feed more frequently. But, being alert also means they will be sensitive to all the discomforts of the new world they have entered. Some babies are better than others with dealing with stimulation and calming down when their parents try to soothe them. It is important for parents to be careful not to let them get overstimulated. As the new baby’s cries fill the air, everyone in the household will need to make adjustments in their own way. ...

...was difficult because it involved the decision to start this process instead of putting it off. The stay at the hospital was taxing because the IVs caused numerous bathroom breaks and the side effects of the medication caused tremors. Not to mention that the sleeping arrangements were not very comfortable. Even less so with a pregnant belly I presume. While these discomforts lasted the entire stay, when the actual birthing process started things started to get really hairy. Thankfully, my wife is tough. Combined with the medicine, the contractions were more uncomfortable than painful. Added to that was the modesty, or lack thereof. It made things embarrassing for her. The worst part of this entire process, though, is the actual birth. It was done surgically and, in short, my wife almost died on the operating table. Things worked out in the end, though. Major crisis averted. After that, things started getting better. The new baby made all the pains and discomforts disappear, but added stress and more sleepless nights; which, at that point, were overshadowed by the joy and happiness of a newborn. In the end, everything worked out and the both of us came out of the hospital invigorated and ready to start our new life with this new addition. This four day period was the most painful, tiring, difficult, and joyous time of both of our lives and required perseverance and determination to get through....

...Page 159 S: This page discusses developmental risks, and how it is important that developmental risks are explained to the family. E: I think it is important that the developmental risks are explained to the families because we want them to understand that having a developmental risk doesn't mean that the child has delay, but that they are at risk for a delay. I also think it's really important to reevaluate because children are always changing and could grow out of whatever has put them at risk. E: I had a child in my Pre-K class that started the year with a lot of behavioral problems, and he has started to grow out of that stage. He hardly has any behavioral issues now.

...are discussed in detail. According to Montessori, there are three stages of growth, Phase one – birth to six years (Absorbent Mind), Phase two - six to twelve years(Childhood) , Phase three - twelve to eighteen years (Adolescence). Each plane describes a unique developmental stage and highlights the particular characteristics of the child at that stage and explains the conditions which Montessori thought were most conducive to the child's development at each stage. Phase one - birth to six years (Absorbent Mind) is subdivided into two sub-stages, the spiritual (Montessori, 1966 and 2007a) and social embryonic (Montessori, 2007a) stage. from birth to three years child learns unconsciously from his/her environment of which immediate family, primary and secondary are an essential component. The unconscious absorbent mind enables children to acquire information and develop essential skills such as walking and talking. In the early stages of this sub-phase the infant is seen to be a spiritual embryo. ’"we are not dealing with something that develops, but with a fact of formation; something non- existent has to be produced, starting from nothing " (Montessori, 2007a, p.21). The child in the next sub-phase is referred to as conscious absorbent mind, the three to six year old begins to be able to exist independently of the prime carer. Montessori refers to the child at this stage of his/her development as the social embryo. She/he is aware of other people and is becoming...
