Furthermore, the process from the moment a woman knows that she’s pregnant to being in the delivering room is very critical to both her and the newborn baby. Prenatal care is extremely important and it can impact greatly the quality of life of the baby.

One day while walking through Frankenmuth, my mother had a gut feeling that she was expecting. When my parents returned home from the day’s festivities my mom snuck away to take a pregnancy test, which confirmed she was in fact pregnant. According to my dad, he was surprised and very excited to be expecting. My parents had long been trying to start their family but had suffered a miscarriage 8 weeks into their first pregnancy. Due to the prior miscarriage, my parents decided to use caution and wait until they made it through the first trimester to share the news with friends and family. My mother went on to explain that pregnancy changed everything for her from her diet to her daily activities. Both of my parents

Ask your doctor what to expect: If one is diagnosed with an infection or stomach virus, ask when should I feel better? What should I look for to tell me that I am getting worse?

I was fascinated to understand how human being was growing inside me. However, I also know that this isn't the case for everyone. Some women have tough pregnancies and don't enjoy the ride. They are on countdown for baby to enter the world. Medical complications and body confidence can have a real effect on women through pregnancy, it does effect us all differently.

You may feel confused about the various aches and pains you are experiencing because you don’t know what is and what is not a medical emergency. This confusion is extremely common, especially if this is your first-time pregnancy. Whether you should seek medical help or not depends on many factors including your health condition, pregnancy complications and risk factors. Though aches and pains have become an accepted part of pregnancy, there are a few symptoms that you should not ignore. Some of the signs are listed below:

The day a woman is told that she is pregnant is the day that woman becomes a mom. To most women that title is the best thing that could ever happen to them. Experiencing the joys and fears of a pregnancy isn’t something that can be explained to someone that hasn’t ever been pregnant because there is something so unique and close to the heart that others will not understand. A mothers one and only true prayer for their new bundle of joy is that they are born happy and healthy with ten fingers, ten toes, two eyes, a cute button nose, and a smile to die for. Regrettably some women’s worst fears come true when they go in for an ultrasound of their baby and are told that something could possibly be wrong. What’s next? How do they protect their

Among social scientists pregnancy and childbirth has been discussed and viewed as a “socially constructed experience” rather than a physiological phenomenon (Rothman, 1977; Sutherland & Bay, 1997, pg. 7). Sutherland & Bay (1997) argued that contemporary approaches that rely mainly on medical and psychological models on the study of pregnancy, fail to locate the social relations of women’s experiences of pregnancy as socially constructed, and interpreted from the standpoint of her everyday live. From a feminist standpoint, it is argued that the worldview conceptualisation of pregnancy as the realization of motherhood and the epitome of femininity does not represent women’s true conception of the experience of pregnancy (Sutherland & Bay, 1997). In addition, the focus around childbirth within the perspective of a sociologists is on the interpretations which a woman construct around childbirth rather than the physiological process itself (Rothman, 1977). These interpretations go on to influence her behaviours and interactions, and consequently impact on the way the woman understand, define and construct her birth experience (Rothman, 1977; Sutherland & Bay, 1997).

Childbirth, also known as labor and delivery, is ending of pregnancy by one or more babies leaving a women uterus. It is a life changing event in which a woman goes through a lot of biological, social and emotional transitions(1). During facility-based childbirth giving compassionate, and respectful maternity care can profoundly affect the future well-being of the mother and new born, and her relationship with the baby, family and health professionals (2).

Being pregnant is one of the most dichotomous events of human experience. It can be almost divine in its beauty and nearly hell-like in its misery. Having been through three pregnancies, I have experienced firsthand both extremes.

Pregnant women describe morning sickness as resembling motion sickness, indigestion, hunger pains, and dry heaves. Unfortunately for some

Childbirth is the most amazing experience any woman will ever go through. Almost every point of the experience can be remembered no matter how long ago it occurred. One tends to forget the history of child birth and what it was like for a mother a century ago to deliver her newborn, furthermore, the natural occurrences that happen with the delivery process is unknown to many people that have not experienced it and the numerous delivery options that are available to today’s health conscious mothers. These unfamiliar aspects of child birthing in America has plagued our childless society with ignorance to an important matter. I feel that if one does not know his or her own history they are bound to repeat it.

Pregnancy is a gift and at the same time a life changing event. It is a wonderful yet risky and stressful event in a woman’s life. It comes with stress and pressure that only a pregnant woman and mothers can define and understand. It is the time when priorities change not because she wants to but because she needs to. Needless to say it is one of the major sacrifices that a woman can do.

Finding out that I was pregnant first hand was a bittersweet but conversely a Kodak moment as well. During the first couple of days I didn’t know whether to ball up and cry or to be happy and exhilarated, I was 17 so I didn’t know how to be happy about me being with a fetus inside of me. “I have my whole life ahead of me, this can’t be real, why me?” I constantly asked myself while looking at the positive pregnancy test. After finding out this shocking news I walked in the same room that my cousin Kiana was patiently waiting in, and quietly said it’s positive. Kiana gave me the ideal expression I kind of hoped for and needed during the time-being but shortly after, I got the news that she was also pregnant. When I first noticed my first sign of pregnancy when I started spotting, and increase of hunger, I didn’t think nothing of it but I slightly had a clue. A week goes by still going unnoticed until the morning sickness stage hit. Waking up with morning sickness was one of the stages I had an aversion to the most. I partially disliked this stage because not only was it morning sickness, but because it was morning and afternoon sickness. Another reason is because it made me feel nauseous. After the morning sickness stage, it encouraged me to get a pregnancy test.
