G4 P3003 (4 Gestations, 3 Full Term, 0 Preterm, 0 Miscarriages, 3 Currently Living); 3 Spontaneous Vaginal Deliveries; Last birth was 7 years ago by SVD, weighed 4000 grams; No previous obstetrical complications or morbidity; No past medical history; No past surgical history; No prior antenatal care

The belief that men are not capable of taking care of a child is now being challenged. Fathers are now taking on a more active role in their child’s life by allowing their wives to peruse her career goals while they stay at home with the children. Women are now left with the task of being the family’s primary breadwinners. As both step outside their expected gender roles the challenge of gender stereotypes found in families have been questioned.

I planned on stopping by today to speak with you; however, I wanted to give you a heads up first to think about it. Friday, Jennifer’s water ruptured very early(33 weeks). We had to go to the hospital where they have to keep her until the baby is born. They are trying to keep her from having the baby by utilizing different methods of medication for at least another week so the baby can develop his lungs. However, they are going to try and keep the baby in longer if possible. The baby will go directly into a NICU because it is too early unless they can keep the baby in past 35 weeks and he is developed enough to eat and breath on his own. I highly doubt that Jennifer will be able to start on the starting date June 3rd. Today, when our doctor

The onset of her labor was on a Saturday morning. She thought she had had too many tacos, but then she lost her mucus plug. Labor was slow because her cervix would not dilate. She went to the hospital more than once, but the maternity ward would not admit her because her cervix was stuck at two centimeters. The obstetrics staff advised her to walk around which she did. She took multiple hot baths to help with the pain. She was in labor and awake on and off from Saturday morning until Monday night when she finally gave birth at Kaiser hospital in Riverside, California.

The feminist movement in the United States began in the early 1960s and was divided into three different waves of women’s fight for equality. The first wave was organized to focus on women’s suffrage which included women’s right to vote but also sparked much controversy in the household and had many women questioning their roles in society as full time caregivers or as the good old “housewife.” Causing the second wave of the feminist movement in the late 1960s and early 1970s. This wave was known as “The Women’s Movement.” The second wave focused on family structure and gender equalities in the household. During these

The child was born at 33 weeks and 6 days due to mom having HELLP syndrome and the

One of the films I have decided to watch is “9 to 5 No Longer” in which most individuals want flexibility within their lives due to family lifestyles. Before I found the job I have now, I would work night shifts in a restaurant because that it where waitresses made their money. I was able to work this way because I did not have children or other plans to attend to until I started a family with my husband. It then became difficult to spend time with our child and ourselves as well. The ideal job that worked with my schedule is in a school setting in which I work from seven to three, Monday to Friday where I have been at this job for the past five years. I am able to go to work at the same time my child goes to day care as well as picking him up at the reasonable time.

Before starting college being a stay at home mom would sometimes make me feel like a prisoner. Just like the prisoners in Allegory of the cave. The prisoners were limited to many life experiences as well as knowledge. I feel as if when you're a stay at home mom there's not much you do just a day by day routine. That involves cleaning, cooking, and nurturing your children most of the time. It can honestly get tedious and take a toll on you sooner or later it’s always good to have some kind of change in our routine. There so many things the world has to teach us but in order to do so we need to put yourself out there and discover them. Not just be trapped for years not knowing what the world has to offer us as an individual.

Sleepless nights, crippling fatigue and unrelenting pain and stiffness ensued. I had to adapt the way I picked up and held my baby. I needed help with household tasks. I lost my independence along with any hope for my future.

Many women have careers before they began their family. But once the first child arrives, it is time to decide whether to be a stay-at-home mom or to go back to work. There are many factors that go into this decision and it is different for every family. Making a decision to stay at home with the children or join the workforce can be a difficult process. I have been fortunate to experience being a stay-at-home mom for three years. I’ve come o realize the benefits of becoming a stay-at-home mom versus a working mom is having more time with the children, less stress, and it saves financially.

Now that they are settled in and are involved in all sorts of activities, I think I may go back to work full-time. I have no idea what I’ll do, but I feel that I need to go back to work. My husband graciously supports me on this, knowing that with me working our household duties will change. He understands the feelings that I have and supports me. This may not be everyone’s story, but it’s mine. I am going to make this day count. I am going to do everything I can today to complete the tasks that I have so that I can look for a job in my down

My father found himself out of a job and accepted a new position requiring him to live out of state. My older brothers were off to college, and my mother went to work to help support our family. The job she took involved odd hours, including late nights, early mornings and some overnight shifts. Of course now I realize how lucky we all were that my parents found good jobs, even if there were some complications involved. At the time, the child that I was could only wonder “what about me?”

As a result, many parents find themselves in a difficult choice between spending time with their newly born children and working in order to support them.

So I have decided at this point to take a job at Wal-Mart in the pharmacy and work afternoons and evenings and work on getting my coding as well as a health administration degree. I believe I will be able to use this degree to work from home or work in a public setting. This will not be easy, but it will be worth it. If I could change my life at this point, I certainly would. I miss the days of being home and just being with my kiddos, but I know God knows my heart and I pray that he brings those back to me. In the meantime, he has given me some amazing kids that support me 100 percent. They work hard helping me around the house and not giving me any problems to deal with while I am gone. It is hardest, I think, on my five year old, but we are making the best of it. At this point, I am extremely grateful I can be home all morning to teach him kindergarten and work with my older kids. School is starting up again, and while most mammas cannot wait to send their kiddos out the door, I am thankful every day that mine are with me and that we can start another year of school together learning more about our heavenly Father and all the things that he has blessed us

I couldn’t find work because I couldn’t afford child care. I also only had experience in one industry. The problems and expenses kept adding up, and my savings kept getting smaller. Luckily I had a few good friends to help me out, but I knew that couldn’t last forever. So, my only option was finding a job I could do at home.
