Personal Narrative: My State Of Pregnancy

I did not realize that giving birth was so costly until now, I gave birth with a C-section and I was not charged for anything and I had a different insurance. Normally in New York, when you go to your first visit to the hospital and you don't have insurance they make you apply for one and it cover all the costs depending on the insurance. I stayed in the hospital five days and receive a lot of care from the

There were many emotions that I experienced throughout the time that I had the baby. One among many was not anger but almost a despise of the fake baby. I did not think that taking the baby would be really as bad as it was, this being in the way that I was so strung out over this tiny machine making noise and others making a big deal out of it just adding to the stress. Also there were several points in this time that between my tiredness and my anger I was having mental collapses, crying, panicking, anxiety, these were things like me waiting for the baby to cry and then when it wouldn stop I would have to hold myself back or I felt like I was about to snap.

I visited Florida in November 2014 and fell in love with everything that the Sunshine State has to offer: including the people, culture, and weather, among other attributes. It became increasingly apparent to me that I would be comfortable in Florida and that I was not content in my home state, New Mexico. I moved to Florida in February of 2015.

Hey Nandi, just letting you know that you're a really amazing person. Honestly you're a unique person there is no other person I could meet on the planet that could out weight your personality. I've decided that since the day I was born, BAM, mother-child bond. You've always been a strong woman you've done everything from working two jobs, to go our every school events, and handling our family problems. You're extremely happy even in bad situations and your not afraid to show us discipline that has an impact. You're a woman of few words but when you do open your mouth something extraordinary comes out. You fight for us, love us, your kind to all people, help raise strong people by putting reality in front of us since we were little. The most valuable lesson you've taught me so far is, life's going to be extremely difficult at times but you have to be strong, because you are strong, you can fight, and if you go down swinging better make worth your while. Couldn't ask for a better woman in my life.

As someone recovering from an eating disorder, I felt it was important to blog about my pregnancy body when I was five months pregnant. The changes my body were undergoing gave me many feelings about which I felt the need to be completely transparent. Doing so allowed me to focus more on my daughter, Jennifer Bella, and less on my waistline.

My prenatal development was normal. There were not any concerns or worries about my development. My mom had a fairly normal pregnancy other than preeclampsia. Preeclampsia is a medical condition in women who have not experienced high blood pressure, and developed in during a pregnancy (Preeclampsia and Eclampsia, 2016). High protein levels in urine and swelling of the hands, legs and feet are other symptoms of preeclampsia. My mom had an ultrasound at fourteen weeks. She did not have any other testing like an amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling. It was unnecessary.

I decided to discuss the second trimester stage of development because for me, with both of my pregnancies, that is when I started to get really excited about having a baby. There is the whole scare of losing the baby in the first trimester but also that’s when I started to feel the baby move, both times in the 16th week, when the baby, and myself, grew the most (I gained 8 pounds in the 5th month with both pregnancies), and when I got so heavy I had to walk instead of run, it was actually faster from about 18 weeks on. Babycenter.com says that the fetus of 14 weeks of age is the size of a lemon, 3 ½ inches long and weighing 1 ½ ounces, while parents.com says it’s the same weight and length but the size of a peach. At 27 weeks both sites said the babies are at 2+ pounds, 9.25-14 inches long and either the size of a head of cauliflower or a sock monkey (which wasn’t fun to look at when your trying to picture a cute little baby). On page 96 of the textbook in Figure 5.8 it is confirmed that after the 16th week the mother may start to feel the baby move. The fetus is also forming small hairs all over the body, including the scalp, and the lungs are beginning to

My peice of advice as well was to seek a doctor. Being healthy prior to conceiving is very helpful when it comes to Gestational Diabetes. I was very fortunate with both of my kids that i didn't get Gestational Diabetes. I was 17 when i had my first child and very active. If i was not doing traveling softball on the weekend then i was cheering on a competition cheer squad. I agree on the overall lack of care. It drives me crazy to see some of the things that parents let there kids eat. My sister in law is a good example of that. She uses they excuse that they are growing boys and they are going through that stage. I just want to shake her and say portion control and eat heathier. She suffers from morbid obesity and her kids are 11 and 17, they

Five years ago I gave birth to a baby boy, although I can't really call him a baby since he was the size of a small elephant. I knew I had to do something to afford him the best life possible. A friend of mine had gone to a local technical college for a medical assisting program. She graduated and soon moved up to being the practice manager at the pediatric office she worked at. I asked her some questions, she gave the school and job a rave review and I was hooked. I walked into school when Greyson was three weeks old and asked the counselor to sign me up for the next available class. The counselor looked at me with wandering eyes, letting them fall to rest on Greyson at my chest. She asked me "are you sure..you have a new baby?" I replied

According to Kyla Pratt, An Actress, “Being pregnant is supposed to be the happiest time in your life.” I must admit I she is right I had a share of experiencing being pregnant three years ago with my baby boy. Everything was not always easy it had a few bumps throughout my pregnancy. I experienced a lot especially in my first and second trimester well all my trimesters actually.

Between 6 AM to noon, I attempted taking a nap, but kept waking up from stronger "cramps". Since taking a nap seemed impossible, I decided to call my mother to tell her everything that was leading me to think I was in early labor. She assured me I was, and told me I would have our baby very soon! Thanks to my mom, I finally came to accept that I was indeed experiencing contractions and was in early labor. Especially since they were happening every 5 mins! After hanging up with my mom, I called Chris and told him he needed to come home right away because we were going to have our baby very soon. He was so happy and left work immediately to meet me at our house. In the meantime, I paced back and forth in my house and bounced on my exercise ball

I learned several, important things before and after performing this interview. It was a sort of unplanned; my cousin had a doctor’s appointment (with Labor and Delivery) as well as her baby shower banquet that same day, so I decided to go with her to her appointment. I took it as a great opportunity to not only interview someone within the medical field and complete my assignment, but to interact and observe how nurses and doctors perform their jobs. It was an unusual, nice experience for me, since it was my first time being in the Labor & Delivery department, which is the department that I am really interested in working on. It was great seeing how the nurse assisted and prepared my cousin before meeting with her assigned doctor. My cousin’s

I laid there in my twin sized bed and watched the sun start to shine through my thin blue curtains. I felt as if I was going to throw up the greasy fries I had eaten the night before, and I was still depressed about the break up I had in the past week. As soon as I sat up I had to run to the bathroom like I was in a race with a cheetah. I threw the toilet seat up quickly and started to puke up everything inside of me. I sat on the freezing tile floor wishing that it was carpet. I had been getting sick for the past week and I did not know what could possibly be wrong.

What changes have been implemented to improve childbirth and health of women and children in the U.S.? A wide range of interventions aim to ensure healthy and successful pregnancies. Women’s health care over the life course focuses on general health promotion preconception to enhance reproductive health. This is aimed to reduce onset of chronic illness such as diabetes or obesity.

Childbirth can be considered as the highlight of a woman’s life and there has been an increase in number where the woman is asking for a caesarean section instead of giving birth through the vagina (Loke, 2015). Caesarean delivery is a surgical procedure that happens when an event or situation that happens that would be considers as an emergency. This surgery is to help get the infant out and to help both the mother and the infant. Recently, caesarean section has been more accepting among pregnant women; in fact, there are mothers who are requesting for a caesarean delivery. There are many complications associated with caesarean section, such as, major bleeding and post op infections.
