Maternal Newborn Risks And Benefits Of Home Births

The author is a nurse in a level two trauma facility in a community of approximately fifty thousand people in Oregon. The community is a college-town surrounded by a large agricultural area. There is a minimal ethnic diversity within the community. The diversity present occurs mainly from internationally students and faculty from the college. There is a growing population of women who desire low interventional births in the community. The author has worked on the labor and delivery unit of the hospital for the last 14 years. The hospital is the only one in the area to offer trial of labor services to women who have previously undergone a cesarean section. The unit on average experiences around 1000 deliveries annually.

I think the Hmong traditional give birth practice is very unsafe and dirty. The environment of giving birth is full with bacteria, germs and easily get infection for both mother and new born baby. However I find that the father burry the placenta after give birth is very unique and interesting. When Lisa was born, she was

These social disadvantages directly relate to dispossession and are characterized by poverty and powerlessness, and are reflected in education, Racism and discrimination are directly associated with poorer health outcome which again links up with the dangers of c-section and even general vaginal birth (Pharmaceutical society of Australia, 2014). Aboriginal and Torres strait islander mothers find c-section birth to be more preferred as it doesn’t risk the mother and child, but this is not always the case (Baby Care, 2018). About 1 in 12 women get an infection, such as cellulitis, abdominal abscess, thrush, urinary tract and bladder infection after having a c-section birth (D. R. Wilson, 2018). Indigenous mothers are more likely to develop these infections. These infections could be easily being treated by the consumption of antibiotics. Communication between researchers is found to be highly effective, as more and more mothers in indigenous communities and other communities are being more aware and notified about the effects of c-section birth to the child and mother. The samples collected back up the researcher’s statements and provide the public about how this can be improved. Without communication between researchers, lack of knowledge would increase and so will the rate of c-section births in remote communities and private hospital. Lack of medical equipment would also increase in remote communities which will indeed result in an increased rate of deaths in indigenous

In the 20th century, 95% of young women know about contraception and at least 88% will be able to give birth in a hospital or clinic. This

According to “Human Sexuality: Diversity in Contemporary America,” women and couples planning the birth of a child have decisions to make in variety of areas: place of birth, birth attendant(s), medication, preparedness classes, circumcision, breast feeding, etc. The “childbirth market” has responded to consumer concerns, so its’ important for prospective consumers to fully understand their options. With that being said, a woman has the choice to birth her child either at a hospital or at home. There are several differences when it comes to hospital births and non-hospital births.

The birth place study (2011) suggests, that whether or not a woman gets her desired water birth can depend on where she has chosen to given birth. Water birth statistics for achieving water are as follows. 13% of prim gravidas’ who chose an obstetric unit, 39% for those who opted for an adjoined birth centre to an obstetric unit, freestanding birth centre achieved 54% and the home birth figure was 50%. Multigravida women have even less success in achieving the water birth they sought 7% for obstetric unit, 23% for an adjoined birth centre to an obstetric unit , 41% freestanding birth centre and 28% at home (Birthplace study, 2011). Gould (2007) suggests that midwives are less likely to offer a pool birth on the medicalised labour ward

This research consisted of key informants and general informants. These general informants were leaders in the community, granny midwives and African American and European American health care professionals. These general informants came from the clinics and hospitals where key informants were from. The key informants from each region were women who were either pregnant or had a baby within in a year preceding the study. (Marjorie Morgan, 1996)

Every moment from the time a woman learns she is pregnant, the doctors visits, tests, and planning never quit. For the safety of the baby American women also take many precautions as far as diet and activity, but not in the same way the Hmong do. Though, American mothers appear just as fearful as Hmong women about their child's safety. Do to our advanced technology, mothers are very away of all the possible worst case scenarios that could go down during and after birth. They half to deal with that fear and uncertainty, but unlike the Hmong they don't do it alone. Mothers are surrounded with doctors and loved ones helping every step of the way. "I takes a village", is a very common phrase in America when talking about raising children. In America it's an inclusive effort, while it's very much a solo act for Hmong women. I think the bond between mother and child is one of, if not the, closest connection there is between two humans. It is for this reason I think the Hmong women give birth by themselves; because the experience is such an intimate and personal, one that only mother and child get experience it together.

For hundred of years, women have wrestled with their womanhood, bodies, and what it means to be a woman in our society. Being a woman comes with a wonderful and empowering responsibility--giving birth. What sets us aside from other countries is that the process and expectations of giving birth has changed in our society; coming from midwifery, as it has always been since the early times, to hospitals where it is now expected to give birth at. Midwifery was a common practice in delivering babies in

Are you a mother-to-be? Are you having trouble trying to figure out whether to have a homebirth or a hospital birth? I sure hope that this paper will

The rate of home births dropped considerably since this report with just two per cent of births taking place at home. The statistics strongly suggest that most women believed this to be true, that hospital is a safer environment to give birth. It has been argued that birth has been over medicalised and being in the hospital is always beneficial for the mother and baby. Some women associate hospitals with illness. Therefore, a hospital could be a stressful environment for some women, which could result in complications during birth.

The County council meeting that I attended was all I thought it would be, minus the crazy person that I was promised. The county council meeting was facilitated by a group of white men and women with very few if any minorities in attendance. The council appeared to be very dry leaving me questioning why this was so important. However, shortly after settling in for the long hall it clicked, and I was able to make the connection to my Political Science 1100 course, and how exactly the county council meeting fit into the bigger picture of government and its importance.

In the article, Perception About Organ Donation Among African American, Hispanic, and White High School Students, was focused on a study which used the Health Belief Model to better understand how aware African Americans, Hispanic, and White high school students are about organ donation. The main population of the study conducted was 18-year-old students.

In the Vietnam MICS, all women with a live birth in the two years preceding the date of interview were asked a number of questions about antenatal health care. Information was collected about the types of providers, the numbers of ANC visits, the timing of the first ANC and the five basic components of the ANC package. These components were: blood pressure measured, urine tested, blood sample taken, tetanus injection received, and iron-folate supplements provided (22).

It is true that if women are engaged in paid work, their dignity in the household and society increases. However, it is also the case that if there is respect for women there would be more sharing of household work and a greater acceptance of women working outside. A safe and secure environment may allow more women to take up a variety of jobs or run a
