Download or read book Evidence and Skills for Normal Labour and Birth written by Denis Walsh and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-11-11 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evidence-based care is a well established principle in contemporary healthcare and a worldwide health care movement. However, despite the emphasis on promoting evidence-based or effective care without the unnecessary use of technologies and drugs, intervention rates in childbirth continue to rise rapidly. This new edition emphasises the importance of translating evidence into skilful practice. It updates the evidence around what works best for normal birth, aspects of which still remain hidden and ignored by some maternity care professionals. Beginning with the decision about where to have a baby, through all the phases of labour to the immediate post-birth period, it systematically details research and other evidence sources that endorse a low intervention approach. The second edition: has been expanded with new chapters on Preparation for Childbirth and Waterbirth highlights where the evidence is compelling discusses its application where women question its relevance to them and where the practitioner's expertise leads them to challenge it gives background and context before discussing the research to date includes questions for reflection, skills sections and practice recommendations generated from the evidence. Using evidence drawn from a variety of sources, Evidence and Skills for Normal Labour and Birth critiques institutionalised, scientifically managed birth and endorses a more humane midwifery-led model. Packed with up-to-date and relevant information, this text will help all students, practising midwives and doulas keep abreast of the evidence surrounding normal birth and ensure their practice takes full advantage of it.

Download or read book Pea in a Pod Third Edition written by Linda Goldberg and published by Square One Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-09-04 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *** OVER 1 MILLION COPIES SOLD *** Pregnancy and childbirth are not what they used to be. Back in the good ol’ days, mothers-to-be visited their obstetricians once a month, did exactly what they were told, and gave birth while heavily sedated or anesthetized. Their partners paced nervously in the waiting room, barred from the inner sanctum of the labor and delivery rooms. Although some expectant parents still stand on the sidelines, more choose to be active players. If you want to be a participant rather than a spectator in the birth of your baby, Pea in a Pod, Third Edition is your playbook. Up-to-date and complete, Pea in a Pod is a “one-stop-shopping” guide that provides a wealth of pertinent, accurate information for expectant parents. With topics that begin with fertilization and continue through pregnancy, childbirth, and baby’s first year, this comprehensive work could easily be called Absolutely Everything You Need to Know About Pregnancy, Birth, Breastfeeding, and the Newborn. After presenting a general overview of available birthing options and caregiver choices, the book offers a detailed description of conception and fetal development, along with the physical and emotional changes to expect during pregnancy. It provides important nutritional guidelines; exercise plans for the mother-to-be, new mother, and cesarean mother; information on prenatal tests and procedures; and a wealth of hints for the father-to-be, labor partner, and new father. Also included is a variety of effective relaxation techniques and breathing methods to help manage the work of labor. And since every labor is different and may not necessarily go “by the book,” labor variations are discussed along with the most common interventions and medications. The final chapters focus on the basics of infant care, detailing such topics as breastfeeding, childhood immunizations, and infant massage. Clear, step-by-step instructions for handling emergencies such as choking are presented, as well as directions for performing infant CPR. The birth of a baby is one of the most significant events in a parent’s lifetime. Whether this is your first birth or your first “prepared” birth, Pea in a Pod will help make the journey from pregnancy to parenthood both memorable and rewarding.

Download or read book The Use of Music in Labor Pain Perception written by and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Melzack and Wall's gate control theory has been used to explain the effectiveness of many techniques for pain relief in labor, including attention focusing with music. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of music used for relaxation in labor on patients' pain perception. A quasi- experimental pilot study was performed using a convenience sample, randomized into control and experimental groups. The setting was a military medical center labor and delivery unit with private labor/delivery/recovery rooms. Recruitment into the study was accomplished once the patient was admitted to the unit in active labor at greater than 36 weeks gestation, with a cervical dilatation of at least 4 cms. Eighteen families were approached for entry into the study with data collected from ten.

Download or read book Maternal Use of Psychiatric Medications During Pregnancy and Adverse Birth Outcomes and Neurodevelopmental Problems in Offspring written by Ayesha C. Sujan and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding consequences of prenatal exposure to psychiatric and analgesic medications is important because use of these medications among pregnant women is relatively common and increasing. Rodent experiments have shown effects of perinatal exposure to specific medications; however, these findings might not apply to humans. Human observational studies have been used to study prenatal exposure to psychiatric and analgesic medications rather than randomized control trials due to ethical concerns about exposing offspring to potentially harmful substances. However, it is unclear the extent to which the statistical associations documented in observational studies are due to causal mechanisms or background factors that differ among exposed and unexposed pregnancies (i.e., confounding factors). Therefore, the aim of my dissertation research was to evaluate consequences of prenatal exposure to psychiatric and analgesic medications on risk for adverse birth outcomes and neurodevelopmental problems by seeking converging evidence from multiple observational designs that target both measured and unmeasured confounding. The first study showed that after accounting for confounding, prenatal antidepressant exposure was associated with a small increased risk of preterm birth (PTB) but no increased risk of small for gestational age (SGA), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The second study suggested that observed associations between prenatal exposure to prescribed opioid analgesics (POAs) and risk for PTB and SGA were largely due to unmeasured confounding factors, although I could not rule out small independent associations. The third study evaluated the consequences of combined exposure to POAs and selective-serotine reuptake inhibitor antidepressants on risk for PTB and SGA and suggested that the medications do not interact to increase the risk of either outcome.These findings may provide reassurance to women considering antidepressant and POA use during pregnancy. They also highlight the importance of screening pregnant women and women of childbearing age and providing evidence-based treatments to at-risk women.
