Childbirth Interview

felt hopeless and believed that she no longer had a future because of the baby

For this project I interviewed my mom, Lynn Pasko. During the course of doing this project and going through the questions, it made me realize how much I didn’t know about my mother. It never occurred to me how times have changed and how different things are now. I learned a lot about my mother that I did not know. Some of these include how my mother moved schools every year of her schooling up until her last half of junior year. I couldn’t imagine having to go to a new school every year. Not to mention how many friends she lost contact with and how hard it was to be the new kid every year. Another thing that had really surprised me was the hardest that she had to do. The hardest thing my mother had to do was after 9/11 happened, she had to write goodbye letters to my sister and I in case anything had happened to them on their way to Hawaii. Both my mother and father thought about taking different planes just incase if something happened to one of them, the other would still be there for me and my sister.

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

Angela Whittekiend, my own mother, graciously allowed me to conduct an interview with her regarding her experience with her first pregnancy. My mom planned both of her pregnancies, she explained that during that time it was just normal to get married and have children. It felt like the right thing to do, so one day my father and her decided to conceive. Neither my mother or my father struggled with infertility, a challenge that 15 percent of parents face, and they were able to easily get pregnant. My mother waited until she missed her period to go into the doctor, at the time they lived on base at the Naval Air Facility in El Centro California, being a military wife they had specific protocol that new mothers needed to follow. Shortly after

On my second day, the first labor I witnessed took place very fast. The mother doesn’t have to do much pushing and the baby slipped out of her. During this time, the only nurse available is my preceptor. This is not what I expected to happen based on my experience from last semester clinical simulation and

The model of care I observed at the hospital was the patient centered care model. The nurses worked with the patients, typically on a one-to-one nurse-patient ratio. The nurse helped and tended to the patient’s needs, drew her blood, inserted a catheter, and watched the monitors on the baby to ensure everything was going smoothly. It surprised me that a number of the patients I saw were being induced, and according to the nurses, a lot of patients have planned C-Sections. The two soon-to-be mothers that I encountered in the labor and delivery area were being induced. The first one was in the middle of the induction, and she had Pitocin already infusing when I got there, so her contractions were getting stronger. When she needed to use

For almost all of the previous 25 years roughly, the knowledge of pregnancy, labor, and delivery has changed little for some women. But change is arriving to the most traditional establishing, the hospital.

Effective immediately! When you provide services at MMC, if the patient is currently receiving services from Healthy Start, and is a CYFD participant, please enter the encounter in the prenatal case.

I only got to get a faint glimpse of her. As soon as she was out, they took her and put her in an incubator. She had a heart problem known as PDA, temperature control problems and breathing issues. She stayed in the incubator for 5 weeks so she could get better. From there, her health problems slowly subsided, and on September 19th she was finally cleared to go home. You can't imagine the happiness and joy Glen and Lisa were feeling taking their new baby home for the first time. I was happy for them. After trying so hard for 8 and a half years and not being able to concieve, they were finally able to fill in the missing piece to their lives. I was happy I was the one that could help them fill in that void, and expierence their joy. This was so memorable for me because it was the hardest, scariest, annervous, but I had my Mom,Dad,Glen and Lisa by my side.d the most emotional thing i've ever had to

The purpose of this clinical interview was to gain a deeper understanding of how a student conceptualizes the learning process through development. The goal of this clinical interview was to engage in a channel of communication with a beginning college student to inquire about educational experiences that would provide the necessary facts to connect significant educational concepts covered during class lectures, theoretical presentations, and assigned readings. In my efforts to accomplish this interview, I constructed several questions for my interviewee that seemed appropriate and in line with the theories and/or concepts that interested me the
