Pregnant Women: A Summary And Analysis

Disabled – disabled people will be very badly impacted by crime as they tend to isolate themselves from other people in the community. As they are isolated, they will not have anyone to talk to about the crime, so they may not even report the crime, or may even be too scared to report it, and again they may feel as if they are being targeted just because they have something different about them that they can’t change, and they may just suffer in silence and fear.

In Israelite and Swartz’s informative article, “Reformulating the Feminist Perspective: Giving Voice to Women with Disabilities”, the various ways in which disabled people, and more specifically, disabled women live and are perceived is discussed. The authors’ underlying comments about this perception are a product of the comparison between two models of disability brought up in the text and the further analysis of the social model within its many social applications. However, the authors successfully isolate some faults in the aforementioned models which brings room for critiques and scrutiny.

The forms of discrimination against women negate or limit their potential for full exercise and enjoyment of basic fundamental freedoms and rights, that patriarchal social structure reinforces the forms of discrimination against women, specifically the ones with disabilities and that racism creates forms of patriarchal subordination for women. Many people with disabilities are affected by and/or susceptible to intersectional discrimination due to gender, race, age, ethnic origin, and other grounds and falls victim to societal and governmental neglect, (India Culture, 2009).

Disability has functioned historically to justify inequality for disabled people themselves, but it has also done so for women and minority groups. That is, not only has it been considered justifiable to treat disabled people unequally, but the concept of

Disability justice is both a movement and an intersectional framework of analysis that moves the focus away from rights and independence and, instead, centers justice, intersectionality, interdependence, and accountability, all in effort to address the variety of needs of the most marginalized within a society. In other words, as was explained by Mia Mingus in her piece, “Changing the Framework: Disability Justice” (2011), instead of placing an emphasis on obtaining rights and independence as was done so during the disability rights movement in the 20th century, disability justice fights, instead, to bring about justice to the lives of those continuously and disproportionately oppressed and abused by individuals and institutions by virtue od being disabled. However, in order to do so, disability justice recognizes and stresses the importance of accountability and interdependence, as

Research has shown that females with disabilities are twice likely to suffer sexual abuse as females without disabilities (Clark & Vasta, 2007)

Being pregnant for the first time has made me aware of a phenomenon that I am convinced only a pregnant woman can truly understand. I call it “the open-season-on-pregnant-women syndrome,” for lack of a better name. Early in my pregnancy, my older sister warned me that having a baby is not the private affair I had always assumed it would be. Despite millions of years of babies, the idea of a new life is still fascinating enough to make even strangers want to share in the excitement and responsibility. To put it simply, the pregnant woman, and her fetus, are public domain.

Being pregnant is similar to a superhero, a really tired, weak superhero who wants to eat all the time and isn’t allowed to lift heavy objects. Well if you haven’t guessed it, I got pregnant at the age of sixteen. No sixteen-year-old girl thinks they will get pregnant, let alone want to get pregnant at that age. This is how my story went.

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.

The article I found most interesting was, Prescribing in pregnancy: Effects on the fetus. This article focused on Teratogens, specifically medications, and how they can impact an unborn fetus. The article made it clear that completely avoiding medications during pregnancy is not always possible. When medications must be consumed, it is important for the consumer to understand the possible risks for the fetus.

The difference between preconception care and prenatal care is that preconception care is the care or checkup you receive before you get pregnant to make sure your body is ready for pregnancy and to increase your chances of having a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby. Prenatal care is the care and checkups you receive throughout the entire duration of your pregnancy. These help keep you and your baby healthy or find if there are any health conditions early on. The schedule for prenatal visits usually go as follow: Week 4-28 every 4 weeks, week 28-36 every 2 weeks and weeks 36-birth every week. During your prenatal checkups your provider will check you weight, blood pressure, measure your belly, and

So you’ve planned a baby, or maybe found out you are pregnant and it wasn’t exactly on the ‘to do’ list.

Sarah is a twenty-eight year old expecting mother of her first child. She married her husband, Erik, four years ago in her hometown. A year after her wedding, she graduated at the University of Nebraska Medical Center for Physical Therapy. Since graduation she has been working at a small physical therapy clinic in Omaha, Nebraska. When she is not working, she enjoys running and staying active. Prior to being pregnant, she would wake up at five o’clock in the morning to go on a five mile run before work. Sarah and Erik also have their own work out equipment that they used occasionally. During her pregnancy she has continued to try to stay active. Rather than going on long runs, she tries to walk

After reading this essay "using pregnancy to control women" I don't believe that it is used to control pregnant women. However I do believe when it comes to pregnant women working long hours, going to school etc that person who is telling them to slow down or don't do this and don't do that that person is making sure that woman is okay and in good health for her and the baby. I don't see nothing wrong with doing that looking out for a future mother and the birth of that child.
