- Your client, an up-and-coming corporate executive, is much too busy to be slowed down by pregnancy . . . or a husband. She wants to become a single mom via IVF, a sperm donor, and a gestational carrier. She calls you, her CPA, asking whether the aggregate (and substantial) cost of this not-the-old-fashioned-way of reproducing will be deductible as a Schedule A medical expense. What is your advice, and why?arrow_forwardBrenna's pregnancy and delivery went even better than she'd expected. She had zero complications, and even with the birth of twins, she felt she was recovering well. The real challenge came when it was time to breastfeed her twins, Silvia and Lynette. Breastfeeding for the first time can be a challenge for any mom, and breastfeeding twins can be double the challenge. Brenna is having major concerns about being able to produce enough milk. Brenna is a small-breasted woman, and she is worried that she will not be able to feed both of her babies. True or false: Brenna will produce enough milk as long as her babies continue to nurse and stimulate production. The size of her breasts does not affect production, but it does affect the amount of milk she can store.arrow_forwardwrite about healthy pregnancy exercise, diet and activities during pregnancy write 300 wordsarrow_forward

She gained 25 kg (55 lb) during her uncomplicated pregnancy and has been a lacto-ovo vegetarian for 5 years. After a 12-hour stay in a birthing center, Maha and her husband bring Rani home. At 4 days postpartum, Maha, her husband, and her mother-in-law bring the baby to the health care center for his first follow-up visit. Maha and her husband are very concerned about whether their son is getting adequate nourishment, so the dietitian is called to see the family. During nutrition assessment, the following information is documented. Rani weighs 3,000 grams (6 lb 6 oz). The parents report that Rani nurses vigorously about every 1½ to 2 hours and never sleeps for more…arrow_forwardYou have a friend with a child whose growth is slightly below average. They would like to know about the possibility of giving the child HGH. What happens if you take HGH, both the intended effects and the possible side effects?

(This second part does not necessarily have a correct answer.)arrow_forwardNadia is on extended maternity leave and plans to breastfeed her baby boy Steven until his 1st birthday.
