The Miracle That Is Pregnancy

Syphilis is a disease that is sexually transmitted that can cause serious difficulties such as death if it is not treated. If you treat it with penicillin, it is simple to cure. There are three stages of this disease. The first stage is the primary stage; during this stage a person may notice a single sore or a couple and it is usually painless. During the second stage people start to get rashes or sores in different areas such as the mouth, vagina, or anus. The Latent and Late Stages starts to settle in when all of the symptoms that a person had

Nowadays, there are many possibilities.  New advances in science may cover almost any complication in pregnancy, without having to choose to kill the mother or the baby.

Syphilis is a venereal disease that can be contacted and spread by means of sexual intercourse. An infected pregnant mother can also pass the disease to the unborn child during pregnancy. The disease is caused by a corkscrew-shaped bacterium called a spirochete, Treponema pallidum. The bacteria cause sores or ulcers to appear on the skin of the penis, vagina, and mouth. In some occasions, the sore can appear in the rectum, on the tongue, lips, or breast.

Many people might wonder why kids are born differently than what most consider “normal.” Multiple substances are effects that cause these fetus to develop wrong and not in usual routine that is normally seen in pregnancies. If a pregnant woman chose the wrong temptation and consumed substances that are known to cause damage and can be fatal to a baby, these mothers are making the worst mistake of taking the life of their own child away before the baby can experience what life is. Carrying a baby in the womb is one of the most heaviest challenges a woman can face and many females go wrong by falling into various temptations by not having enough information in pregnancies and going on with their daily lifestyle instead of learning about instant fetal deaths.

One of the nine reasons found that we should not legalize abortion is the laws against abortion kill women (Kilinger). Many women are killed each year during childbirth, but almost four times more women are killed when they have an abortion (Lowen). Women need to know the health risks involved with abortions before making that choice. Having an abortion has many long lasting effects such as: emotional disorders, blood infections, and an increase in breast cancer (Lowen). The leading causes of death for the women who had an abortion are infection, hemorrhage, bowel injuries, clotting disorders. If air was to get to the amniotic fluid, or fetal tissue to get into the woman’s blood stream they would die (Kilinger).Sometimes abortions are not effective, and

According to the CDC, syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease that can have long-term irreversible complications if it is left untreated. The symptoms of syphilis is categorized into stages, which are primary, secondary, latent, and late syphilis (CDC). If you are in the late stage of syphilis your body organs are permanently damaged (Syphilis). If syphilis is caught in the earlier stage it is easy to cure (CDC). An antibiotic, such as Penicillin is injected into the muscle. According to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Injection into the muscle is considered to be the best treatment for the sexually transmitted disease. If there is an allergy to Penicillin then your healthcare provider may prescribe you a different

Pregnancy is a very difficult time in a women’s life, everything that is digested, breathed, and felt affects the fetus. Teratogens are factors that cause developmental problems of an embryo. These factors include stress; toxin such as drug and cigarette use, the health and even the age of the mother can have an impact on the development of the fetus. Teratogen can cause birth defect that may lead to life long consequences to the child. I am very passionate about this topic due to the alarming increase of birth defects and abnormalities that have been occurring during my generation. In America one in every thirty-three babies are born with a defect

Throughout the ages, while the origins to this day continue to be debated, the strength and potency of the disease have rarely been in question. Syphilis, while not viewed as a huge threat due to a decreased number of cases in the mid-late 1990s, needs to be taken more seriously by the public because it is more dangerous than many realize, especially because it is extremely contagious, it is extremely elegant in the symptoms it produces, it has played a larger part in history than many would think, and there is a certain stigma which surrounds the disease, which in turn pushes individuals away from receiving the necessary testing.

Many women are blessed with being able to birth a baby, but for some women that is just not possible. In cases where a pregnancy is not developing correctly, doctors will advise a mother to have an abortion. There are many conditions where a pregnancy can put not only the fetus’s life at risk, but the mother’s as well. In some cases, a pregnancy can cause cardiovascular disease or renal disease in a mother. If a woman

Therefore, planned pregnancy is a huge key factor in preventing birth defects, because often times birth defects develop even before women might know they are pregnant. Because women don’t know they are pregnant, they may consume alcohol, causing harm to their babies. Smoking causes harm to infants before, during, and after pregnancies. Even in the womb nicotine, carbon monoxide, and many other poisons women inhale from cigarettes are carried through their bloodstream. Smoking while pregnant causes many developmental issues including birth defects, lung problems, stunted growth, increase in babies heart rates, low birth weight, or result in stillbirths. However, there are many other agents known to cause these developmental defects. For example, drugs and other medications such as; thalidomide, isotretinoin, valproic acid, methotrexate, and mycophenolate mofetil are also known to cause the same birth defects (Simeone, et al., 2015). Putting healthy supplements, unlike these types of drugs into individuals systems when pregnant can help prevent infant

There is a unique connection between mothers and their children due to the crucial time of prenatal development. During this time, biological factors such as hormones pass through the placental barrier from the mother and into the fetus’ bloodstream. Additionally, the fetus senses the mother’s presence through sensory activity. For instance, a fetus often detects his or her mother’s heart rate and voice by the sounds produced. Due to the direct connections, mothers are strongly advised not to consume teratogens such as alcohol, drugs, or other substance that may be detrimental to a fetus during pregnancy. However, there are factors not quite tangible that mothers should be wary of during pregnancy such as stress. The stress hormone, cortisol,

Modern medicine continues to bring new technology to its patients and is steering in the direction of “Science Fiction” in some areas. Every individual has to decide if prenatal testing “works” for them, if the result is worth the risk of induced stress, miscarriage and/or fetal limb abnormalities. Psalm 127:3 in the Bible says, “Behold, children are a gift of the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a

This can cause severe illness, miscarriage, stillbirth and early infant death (Center for Disease Control [CDC], 2015, para. 1). The incidence of illness for the baby is directly related to the amount of time the mother has been infected with the bacteria prior to pregnancy. Early detection and medical intervention for the pregnant mother is necessary to reduce infant

From taking this class, I have gained significant understanding of biological determinants of women’s health. Learning about the number of unique biological risks women face is important to understand for me because I am a woman and this risks are likely to pertain to me as well. One of topic of biological aspect of women’s health we covered in class were risks factors associated with pregnancy, its complication and pregnancy itself. Understanding about maternal death and number of causes such as hemorrhage, sepsis, hypertensive, and abortion
