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.

Download or read book Hard Labor written by Susan L. Diamond and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 1996 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In Hard Labor, Susan L. Diamond, B.S.N., R.N., shares a unique, insider's view of childbirth. Diamond's lifetime of experience - as a prepared-childbirth instructor, as an obstetrical nurse who spent nearly a decade working on labor and delivery wards, and as a mother of two - has given her an unmatched perspective on giving birth and on the impact of modern medicine on this most special time for mother and child." "Too often in American hospitals today, the process of labor and delivery is treated as an illness, not as a natural, if life-altering, event. Women are dehumanized by artificially established "labor curves" and confined by often-unnecessary machinery; their personal needs, even their privacy, subsumed under the rules of the system. Fear of malpractice has added to the rigidity of the system - but so has a lack of true caring and a fondness for expediency." "Diamond's vision of childbirth as a natural, normal event, one that should be enhanced, not corrupted, by modern medicine, shines from every page of this powerful, emotionally evocative work." "Hard Labor introduces readers to dozens of mothers, fathers, and families, and reveals the wide spectrum of triumph and tragedy that fills labor and delivery wards. Diamond's fellow nurses, and the doctors with whom they work, also spring to life in her vivid recountings of medical disasters and miracles." "From accounts of the sadness of death in utero to the joy of unexpectedly delivering twins, Hard Labor is a moving reading experience. But more, it offers women the information they need to make informed choices about their own plans for childbirth."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Out of the Pocket written by Kirk Herbstreit and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-08-02 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This powerfully intimate, plain-spoken memoir about fathers and sons, fortitude, and football from the face and voice of college football—Kirk Herbstreit—is not just “a window into the game, but also a peek into what makes him special: his heart” (David Shaw, head coach, Stanford University). Kirk Herbstreit is a reflection of the sport he loves, a reflection of his football-crazed home state of Ohio, where he was a high school star and Ohio State captain, and a reflection of another Ohio State football captain thirty-two years earlier: his dad Jim, who battled Alzheimer’s disease until his death in 2016. In Out of the Pocket, Herbstreit does what his father did for him: takes you inside the locker rooms, to the practice fields, to the meeting rooms, to the stadiums. Herbstreit describes how a combination of hard work, perseverance, and a little luck landed him on the set of ESPN’s iconic College GameDay show, surrounded by tens of thousands of fans who treat their Saturdays like a football Mardi Gras. He takes you into the television production meetings, on to the GameDay set, and into the broadcast booth. You’ll live his life during a football season, see the things he sees, experience every chaotic twist and turn as the year unfolds. Not to mention the relationships he’s established and the insights he’s learned from the likes of coaches and players such as Nick Saban, Tim Tebow, Dabo Swinney, and Peyton Manning, as well as his colleagues, including Chris Fowler, Rece Davis, and his “second dad,” the beloved Coach Lee Corso. Yes, Kirk Herbstreit is the undeniable face and voice of college football—but he’s also a survivor. He’s the quiet kid who withstood the collapse of his parents’ marriage. The boy who endured too many overbearing stepdads and stepmoms. The painfully shy student who always chose the last desk in the last row of the classroom. The young man who persevered through a frustrating Ohio State playing career. The new college graduate who turned down a lucrative sales job after college to pursue a “no way you’ll make it” dream career in broadcasting. Inspiring and powerful, Out of the Pocket “proves the importance of perseverance and family” (Peyton Manning).
