Book excerpt: Self-help For The Emotionally Challenged Man & His Pregnant Wife If you are the much put-out pregnant wife reading this book, how do you get this through to the less than emotional aware male (i.e. your husband)? He who knows that 'empathy' is a word he's definitely heard of, but the concept seems to elude him How NOT To Treat Your Pregnant Wife is The Book For You Written to Help Men Not Mess-up One Of The Most Important Periods Of Their Family Life She has aches, pains and hormones to deal with. You have her to deal with. You need to be on your best 'patience of a Sufi' game throughout. On the flip side, you can expect her to have zero-to-no-patience with any of your mistakes. Good luck with that. Why New Fathers Need to Toughen Up & Learn To Deal With The Hormones Transforming Their Wives Why do pregnant women yell at you? Because they can. Because their bodies are going through hell, they've likely spent more time than they'd ever want vomiting unexpectedly, because every movement eventually can become painful, because a baby's foot is in her ribcage and she can't get it out, because she is sleep deprived when heart burn sets in for a few months, because she feels fat and unattractive. So just sympathise and be there for her. Don't Add To The Drama For example, don't surprise her with unexpected guests, whose company is an acquired taste (i.e. your friends). Your mother (or anyone else that raises your wife's blood pressure) coming over for a visit? Have a quiet word with them before hand and advise them to be gentle with your wife.

Download or read book Reducing the Odds written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-02-13 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thousands of HIV-positive women give birth every year. Further, because many pregnant women are not tested for HIV and therefore do not receive treatment, the number of children born with HIV is still unacceptably high. What can we do to eliminate this tragic and costly inheritance? In response to a congressional request, this book evaluates the extent to which state efforts have been effective in reducing the perinatal transmission of HIV. The committee recommends that testing HIV be a routine part of prenatal care, and that health care providers notify women that HIV testing is part of the usual array of prenatal tests and that they have an opportunity to refuse the HIV test. This approach could help both reduce the number of pediatric AIDS cases and improve treatment for mothers with AIDS. Reducing the Odds will be of special interest to federal, state, and local health policymakers, prenatal care providers, maternal and child health specialists, public health practitioners, and advocates for HIV/AIDS patients.

Download or read book Weight Gain During Pregnancy written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2010-01-14 with total page 868 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As women of childbearing age have become heavier, the trade-off between maternal and child health created by variation in gestational weight gain has become more difficult to reconcile. Weight Gain During Pregnancy responds to the need for a reexamination of the 1990 Institute of Medicine guidelines for weight gain during pregnancy. It builds on the conceptual framework that underscored the 1990 weight gain guidelines and addresses the need to update them through a comprehensive review of the literature and independent analyses of existing databases. The book explores relationships between weight gain during pregnancy and a variety of factors (e.g., the mother's weight and height before pregnancy) and places this in the context of the health of the infant and the mother, presenting specific, updated target ranges for weight gain during pregnancy and guidelines for proper measurement. New features of this book include a specific range of recommended gain for obese women. Weight Gain During Pregnancy is intended to assist practitioners who care for women of childbearing age, policy makers, educators, researchers, and the pregnant women themselves to understand the role of gestational weight gain and to provide them with the tools needed to promote optimal pregnancy outcomes.

This book was released on 2020-05-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The delivery of high quality and equitable care for both mothers and newborns is complex and requires efforts across many sectors. The United States spends more on childbirth than any other country in the world, yet outcomes are worse than other high-resource countries, and even worse for Black and Native American women. There are a variety of factors that influence childbirth, including social determinants such as income, educational levels, access to care, financing, transportation, structural racism and geographic variability in birth settings. It is important to reevaluate the United States' approach to maternal and newborn care through the lens of these factors across multiple disciplines. Birth Settings in America: Outcomes, Quality, Access, and Choice reviews and evaluates maternal and newborn care in the United States, the epidemiology of social and clinical risks in pregnancy and childbirth, birth settings research, and access to and choice of birth settings.

Download or read book What Every Pregnant Woman Should Know written by Gail Sforza Brewer and published by Random House (NY). This book was released on 1977 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Traditional medical treatment of pregnant women is disputed. Contrary to popular medical practice, women should not be limited to 24 lbs. weight gain during pregnancy. Low weight gain leads to low or even underweight infants at birth. Limited weight gain may also be a sign of malnutrition in the pregnant mother. A balanced diet and good nutrition are the best advice for pregnant women. While edema is generally feared as a predecessor of toxemia, it is actually a normal, necessary condition. Water retention assists women during delivery since they are apt to lose large amounts of fluids. Edema is a natural response to the increased hormonal levels of pregnant women. Recent research suggests that toxemia is the result of malnutrition. Low calorie and salt restricted diets only harm the chances for a healthy mother and child. Recipes, protein counter, information directory, bibliography are included.
