Perivasculitis should be white because of the inflammation and the white blood cells then spilling out. The Prefix ‘peri’ means around, or on the outside of the tissue. Retinal vascular sheathing is “sheathing or cuffing of blood vessels and vitreous cells”. The swelling or ‘cuffing’ of blood vessels in the retinal layer is a serious condition and is often associated with vasculitis. Finally, a retinal hemorrhage is “abnormal bleeding of the vessels in the retina”2. Retinal hemorrhages can be caused for a variety of reasons such as injuries like forceful blows or accidents and falls, as well as adverse health conditions.

Sadly, scenarios such as this with the hypothetical couple, Charlotte and Chandler, are all too familiar. After reading and reviewing this writing of the hypothetical couple, the likelihood that this baby is to become another statistic is very elevated. The unhealthy behaviors of the parents-to-be increase the risk of birth defect and even death for this baby. This baby is most likely an unplanned pregnancy for this young and unprepared couple. Charlotte and baby are most likely limited on decent healthcare because they reside in rural Mississippi. Since this young couple has been together for such a short period of time, their relationship risks not surviving. They are unsure if they want to marry. Charlotte would most likely fall in the forty

Elated one minute, depressed the next is one common scenario observable in mothers who recently delivered a baby. Women manifest mood swings or “baby blues” in the few days after childbirth. It is an identified psychological postpartum complication in new mothers. According to BC Reproductive Mental Health Program (2011), eighty percent (80 %) of women report to be experiencing postpartum blues within 3-5 days after giving birth. During this time frame, rapid mood swings, feeling of helplessness, disturbed sleep pattern or difficulty to sleep, and crying for no reason are common signs which are considered normal on women having the postpartum blues. This is a transient phenomenon which self-resolves within 10-14 days with no medical intervention required (Rai, S., Pathak, A., & Sharma, I., 2015). Although its etiology remains unidentified to date, biochemical, psychological, social and, cultural factors are not excluded as contributors to this condition.

Postpartum complications are typically health complications in women that we associate with a full term delivery. For women who experience a miscarriage, there is a marked risk for post-partum complications as well. If you have recently terminated a pregnancy, or experienced spontaneous miscarriage, it is important to know what health complications may arise especially those complications associated with hormonal imbalances. Postpartum thyroiditis is one of the most under diagnosed health complications in women who have had a sudden end to a pregnancy. As a condition that can lead to the secondary development of depression, complications with weight gain, and a complication with body temperature regulation, many doctors simply dismiss the

I received a call from my cousin in Canada and I was shocked to hear her crying on phone. She had a baby six months back and every one at home thought she was having a great time who were 20,000 miles away from her. Hesitant at first, she finally got the courage to tell me her situation. She was diagnosed with post partum depression but was not able to tell her parents or anyone else. She went onto say that her depression took away happiness from her life and her family. During pregnancy she was eagerly awaiting the arrival of her baby and was looking forward to great happiness but after delivery she was experiencing the other end of the spectrum. She left her job to stay with the baby but what shook me most was her intense guilt about not being able to take care of her baby and to
