Book excerpt: This book is inspired by all women! I have experienced four pregnancies, all with natural childbirth. Each pregnancy was different and brought along physical, mental, and health challenges. I have to admit...I enjoyed every moment of it, from the beginning to the very end. We all experience similar changes throughout life, both in the natural and spiritual. As followers of Christ, we have God-given gifts placed on the inside of our "spiritual womb" and He wants to develop the gift until it's ready to be birthed. It's not always going to be easy. It's going to take some growth that includes: mood swings, restless nights, and physical and emotional changes along the way. If God allows you to go through it, He will also be by your side to get you through it! This is not a read for just expecting mothers. This is a book for expecting believers! Have you been trying, praying and asking God to do great things in your life but, you're experiencing negative results? Has the enemy been trying to talk you into aborting your dream, your vision, or your purpose? If the answer is YES, I believe this book is for you, just as it is for me. So, I challenge you to start this "pregnancy" process with me. Remember, you are pregnant with a purpose and your delivery is on the way!
Download or read book Birth Settings in America written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. 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 The Myth of the Perfect Pregnancy written by Lara Freidenfelds and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2020-01-02 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a couple plans for a child today, every moment seems precious and unique. Home pregnancy tests promise good news just days after conception, and prospective parents can track the progress of their pregnancy day by day with apps that deliver a stream of embryonic portraits. On-line due date calculators trigger a direct-marketing barrage of baby-name lists and diaper coupons. Ultrasounds as early as eight weeks offer a first photo for the baby book. Yet, all too often, even the best-strategized childbearing plans go awry. About twenty percent of confirmed pregnancies miscarry, mostly in the first months of gestation. Statistically, early pregnancy losses are a normal part of childbearing for healthy women. Drawing on sources ranging from advice books and corporate marketing plans to diary entries and blog posts, Lara Freidenfelds offers a deep perspective on how this common and natural phenomenon has been experienced. As she shows, historically, miscarriages were generally taken in stride so long as a woman eventually had the children she desired. This has changed in recent decades, and an early pregnancy loss is often heartbreaking and can be as devastating to couples as losing a child. Freidenfelds traces how innovations in scientific medicine, consumer culture, cultural attitudes toward women and families, and fundamental convictions about human agency have reshaped the childbearing landscape. While the benefits of an increased emphasis on parental affection, careful pregnancy planning, attentive medical care, and specialized baby gear are real, they have also created unrealistic and potentially damaging expectations about a couple's ability to control reproduction and achieve perfect experiences. The Myth of the Perfect Pregnancy provides a reassuring perspective on early pregnancy loss and suggests ways for miscarriage to more effectively be acknowledged by women, their families, their healthcare providers, and the maternity care industry.

Download or read book The Best Intentions written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1995-07-02 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experts estimate that nearly 60 percent of all U.S. pregnanciesâ€"and 81 percent of pregnancies among adolescentsâ€"are unintended. Yet the topic of preventing these unintended pregnancies has long been treated gingerly because of personal sensitivities and public controversies, especially the angry debate over abortion. Additionally, child welfare advocates long have overlooked the connection between pregnancy planning and the improved well-being of families and communities that results when children are wanted. Now, current issuesâ€"health care and welfare reform, and the new international focus on populationâ€"are drawing attention to the consequences of unintended pregnancy. In this climate The Best Intentions offers a timely exploration of family planning issues from a distinguished panel of experts. This committee sheds much-needed light on the questions and controversies surrounding unintended pregnancy. The book offers specific recommendations to put the United States on par with other developed nations in terms of contraceptive attitudes and policies, and it considers the effectiveness of over 20 pregnancy prevention programs. The Best Intentions explores problematic definitionsâ€""unintended" versus "unwanted" versus "mistimed"â€"and presents data on pregnancy rates and trends. The book also summarizes the health and social consequences of unintended pregnancies, for both men and women, and for the children they bear. Why does unintended pregnancy occur? In discussions of "reasons behind the rates," the book examines Americans' ambivalence about sexuality and the many other social, cultural, religious, and economic factors that affect our approach to contraception. The committee explores the complicated web of peer pressure, life aspirations, and notions of romance that shape an individual's decisions about sex, contraception, and pregnancy. And the book looks at such practical issues as the attitudes of doctors toward birth control and the place of contraception in both health insurance and "managed care." The Best Intentions offers frank discussion, synthesis of data, and policy recommendations on one of today's most sensitive social topics. This book will be important to policymakers, health and social service personnel, foundation executives, opinion leaders, researchers, and concerned individuals.

Download or read book Giving Birth To Your Purpose written by Angela Wheatley and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-02 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fabric of our society is made up of labels and names. Although what society says doesn't matter much, how one perceives him or herself is important because a label or name can say a lot about a person, place or thing."What's Your Baby's Name?" by Angela Wheatley is a book that points to your purpose. She has creatively, and uniquely helped you identify your God-given assignments and purpose by teaching the importance of labels and names. Angela metaphorically compares living out your God-given purpose to a pregnant mother carrying a baby full-term. She uses the parable of pregnancy only to explain the idea of giving birth to promise. For example, during the first-trimester of pregnancy its not always visible to the naked eye, but the pregnant mother knows with certainty she has a life inside of her. Just as a mother knows with certainty, she's pregnant, you have been impregnated by the Holy Spirit to carry out a divine purpose. "What's Your Baby's Name?" will empower you to fulfill your assignment. Maybe you're experiencing a feeling of rejection that no one sees what's inside of you; be encouraged, don't give up, give birth to your purpose! Or, you maybe in your second trimester of your purpose and others can see what's inside of you, but there's discomfort. Things you were comfortable with are now feeling uncomfortable; you are feeling stretched out of your comfort zone. Beloved, don't run from the process because in the process Holy Spirit is molding and shaping your character. "What's Your Baby's Name?" will empower you to go through the process. Finally, "The Travail", and it's time to PUSH!"What's Your Baby's Name?" will empower you to PUSH through the pain, the fear, and the discomfort into your God-Given Purpose. (Psalms 139:16, Ephesian 2:10 AMP). Angela, a spiritual midwife has helped women and men to identify their purpose, stay in the process, and to PUSH! Yes, PUSH! PUSH! past the pain!
Download or read book Expecting Better written by Emily Oster and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-06-24 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Emily Oster is the non-judgmental girlfriend holding our hand and guiding us through pregnancy and motherhood. She has done the work to get us the hard facts in a soft, understandable way.” —Amy Schumer What to Expect When You're Expecting meets Freakonomics: an award-winning economist and author of Cribsheet, The Family Firm, and The Unexpected disproves standard recommendations about pregnancy to empower women while they're expecting. Pregnancy—unquestionably one of the most profound, meaningful experiences of adulthood—can reduce otherwise intelligent women to, well, babies. Pregnant women are told to avoid cold cuts, sushi, alcohol, and coffee without ever being told why these are forbidden. Rules for prenatal testing are similarly unexplained. Moms-to-be desperately want a resource that empowers them to make their own right choices. When award-winning economist Emily Oster was a mom-to-be herself, she evaluated the data behind the accepted rules of pregnancy, and discovered that most are often misguided and some are just flat-out wrong. Debunking myths and explaining everything from the real effects of caffeine to the surprising dangers of gardening, Expecting Better is the book for every pregnant woman who wants to enjoy a healthy and relaxed pregnancy—and the occasional glass of wine.
