Benefits Of A Childbirth Plan

Over the last one hundred years the program known as planned parenthood has selflessly devoting millions of dollars and countless hours. To providing health care that is not only safe but also affordable. (Lawrence and Ness) The comprehensive health care that planned parenthood provides is, in my opinion extremely beneficial to every single man and woman that has ever happened to be a patient of planned parenthood. Planned parenthood provides an extraordinary amount of benefits that have helped millions of people all around the world. Benefits such as free testing for sexually transmitted. Access to the full range of reproductive and preventive health services for woman and men both. Examinations, vaccinations, and abortion as well as many more. According to the author of Defunding Planned Parenthood Defined “Extreme politicians, led by Vice President Mike Pence and Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price, want to shut down Planned Parenthood”. If so many benefits are being provided by planned parenthood why is government funding for the program being taken away? Excluding their personal feelings towards abortion. I personally cannot think of any logical conclusion that would lead vice president Mike Pence and human services secretary Tom Price to think shutting down planned parenthood is a good idea by any stretch of the imagination. The services provided by planned parenthood are much too valuable to simply disappear for millions of people. If these services where to

Numerous amounts of people benefit from Planned Parenthood, however the institution is in jeopardy. The current presidential candidates, such as Ted Cruz, are plotting to remove the non-profit business once they win the presidency (Bassett). These politicians are power hungry and will do anything to reach the top, even exterminating many essential services. Due to the sex education taught that is not provided in school and moral support for targets of sexual abuse, Planned Parenthood is ambushed daily.

Over the years birthing methods have changed a great deal. When technology wasn’t so advanced there was only one method of giving birth, vaginally non-medicated. However, in today’s society there are now more than one method of giving birth. In fact, there are three methods: Non-medicated vaginal delivery, medicated vaginal delivery and cesarean delivery, also known as c-section. In the cesarean delivery there is not much to prepare for before the operation, except maybe the procedure of the operation. A few things that will be discussed are: the process of cesarean delivery, reasons for this birthing method and a few reasons for why this birthing method is used. Also a question that many women have is whether or not they can vaginally

A commonly known procedure when it comes to hospital births are epidurals. An epidural is an injection of a drug between the “epidural space” which causes

Nowadays the women have the possibility to choose the way in which their babies will be delivered.

Your birth plan will need to include who you want to be in the room with you during the delivery. The delivery could take longer than expected. That is why your birth plan should include whether you would like interventions to speed up the process if it is taking longer than expected. Additionally, your birth plan should include whether you want your baby to be bottle-fed or breastfed.

You’re almost ready to finally have the baby you’ve been waiting for. You might start to feel minor contractions, which is called Braxton Hicks contractions and it will prepare your uterus for the real labor. They may feel like you’re going into labor but can ultimately progress to it. Your breast probably already gained 2 pounds and you may start to see yellowish fluid coming out of your nipples, which is called colostrum. This substance is nourishment for your baby for the first few days after you’ve delivered. Don’t be alarm if you see thick or clear discharge, your cervix is just preparing for labor. You gained energy during your second trimester but now you might start to develop anxiety. Now that the baby’s head is bigger, it may press

Every year in the United States, more than three million women will give birth. A great deal of these women will have the typical experience of going to the hospital and receiving an epidural because that is what they were told how labor and delivery should be. They don’t have the opportunity to acquire information about different styles of birthing techniques or that they have rights while in labor. After hearing multiple birth stories that were all different, I sat down and talked to my own mother about her own birthing experiences.

Honestly, after spending so many hours answering these questions, I feel that I have said all that I could to explain to you who I am, and why I want to be a part of your community. I know that there are plenty of amazing women to consider, and I hope that you might see something in me that will convenience you that I will benefit Birthingway and allow me to be part of your

“A scientific definition of pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage” (Lowe, 2002). Labor pain, has many different variables, physical as well as its interaction with culture and emotions, making labor pain exclusive to each individual. During the first stage of labor there is mostly visceral pain due to the dilation of the cervix. Uterine contractions may be felt as back pain because the lower back has nerves that connect to the uterus as well as the skin of the lower back.

through a catheter. Narcotics decrease the perception of pain for two to six hours but don’t eliminate pain (Smith, C., Collins, C., Cyna, A., & Crowther, C., 2006). Narcotics also have more side effects including sleepiness, nausea, and depressed breathing for mother and baby which can be dangerous. Whether a mother choses to use one of these pain medicines or partake in a natural birth is her decision and there are many advocates for either choice. It is important for expecting mothers to know their options. There are more birthing methods to discuss but the vaginal delivery method is mentioned here first because overall it seems to be the safest method. However, there are variations to vaginal delivery that will be touched on later.

Depending on where the baby is in your pelvis, high or low, you could get the urge to push early or you might have to wait a little while. This stage can take anywhere from a couple minutes to many hours. The pushing stage is said to take longer for woman who get epidurals. There are ways to cope with the pain while pushing. You can try vocalization to relax your body. This will also allow more oxygen to both the mother and the baby. A couple different sounds you can try are “oooh” and “aaaah”. You can also try focusing on how you breathe. There are many different ways to breathe from hee-ing or haa-ing to panting or deep inhaling. All of these methods have been shown to help woman ease the pain of not only pushing but also contractions. Not long after you start pushing the baby's scalp should start to become visible. This could be the excitement one needs to push through the pain. Now every time you have a contraction a little more of the baby's head will become visible. As more of the head becomes visible it is very common to feel a burning sensation. This sensation is sometimes referred to as “the ring of fire” and is due to the tissues being stretched. After the baby's head is out your caregiver will suction out the mouth and nose. Next it will be time for the shoulders and then the body. Now that your baby is finally brought into the world you are able to hold it. But, you're not quite done yet.

Pregnancy and childbirth are a part of nature. Delivering a child can be a beautiful experience. However, delivery can also be very painful and can last for days.

Childbirth can be described as one of the most rewarding and also painful experiences in a woman’s life. Most women choose some type of method to ease pain, however, there has been a lot of controversy over with pain management method is the most effective. According to the CDC (Center for Disease Control), In 2013, there were 3,932,181 births recorded in the United States, 32.7% of those births were surgical procedures. In 2012, 1.36% of recorded births occurred out-of-hospital, meaning these births took place mostly in homes or birthing centers. Without the option of medicine that a hospital provides, how were these women able to manage their pain during labor and delivery. There are many different methods for easing pain during childbirth, some methods involve the use of medicine and surgery, and others include natural techniques, such as hypnosis, Lamaze, and many others. It is a personal preference of the parents over which method is right for the needs of the mother and child. This can be an overwhelming decision for new parents to make because they have to take into consideration the safety of the mother and child, pain management for the mother and desire for medical involvement.

Birth of a child can be such a happy time, especially when the little one is very healthy. We all have seen the movies when a new child is born, some of us are lucky to see it first hand. Some of us do get goose bumps, me being one of them. It is just so exciting to see that little life come out of what has been in that big belly for nine months. We sometimes refer to the birth of a child as labor. If only it was as easy as the name sounds. However, it is not. There are three main stages in birth. The first stage is the longest stage that can last 12 to 14 hours with the first birth, and later births are shorter. Dilation and effacement of the cervix take place here. That is when the uterine contractions gradually become more frequent and
