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.

A renowned sociologist and professor at San Diego State University, Dr. Twenge brought her research background to the huge amount of information—sometimes contradictory, frequently alarmist, and often discouraging— that she encountered online, from family and friends, and in books, and decided to go into the latest studies to find out the real story. The good news is: There is a lot less to worry about than you’ve been led to believe. Dr. Twenge gets to the heart of the emotional issues around getting pregnant, including how to prepare mentally and physically when thinking about conceiving; how to talk about it with family, friends, and your partner; and how to handle the great sadness of a miscarriage. Also covered is how to know when you’re ovulating, when to have sex, timing your pregnancy, maximizing your chances of getting pregnant, how to tilt the odds toward having a boy or a girl, and the best prenatal diet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year, millions of babies take birth. But sadly, a large number of them are born with birth defects. They are not mentally and physically fit. It’s because we don’t know when and how to plan for a baby with High IQ, a Sharp Brain and Good Health. We either have a very conservative approach or have no idea of child planning. In general, we misunderstand child planning with family planning. Child planning and family planning are two different things. We do thousands of things after elaborate planning. But when it comes to planning our own child, we have a very casual approach. It may be because of our ignorance or lack of knowledge. But whatever the reason may be, we are putting our child at significant risk. The Birth of a Miracle Child is an initiative to spread awareness among youngsters about child planning. It is an initiative to help parents have a baby with High IQ, a Sharp Brain and Good Health.
