[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page research paper that discusses this topic. While couples spend months preparing for childbirth, they often do not have any preparation for what to expect emotionally after the birth of their child. Frequently women overwhelmed; thrilled to have a healthy baby, but in tears the next (ICEA position, 2003). Often, women are not aware that such a reaction is perfectly normal and they fear that they are either going crazy or will be a terrible mother. Today, it is recognized that this period, which is generally referred to as postpartum depression, actually encompasses different categories of reaction to the birth experience. The writer discusses mild PPD (the "baby blues"), PPD and postpartum psychosis. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Pregnancy and Birth Outcome: The Importance of Prenatal Care Compared to the Influence of Socioeconomic and Cultural Factors
[ send me this essay ]
A 9 page discussion of pregnancy and birth outcome in relation to preterm labor, preterm delivery and low birthweight babies. Emphasizes that pregnancy and birth outcome are obviously associated with a variety of factors other than the presence or absence of prenatal care alone. These factors include family structure, economic and racial classification, and the presence or absence of a support network. The existence of these factors, however, should not be interpreted to mean that prenatal care is not important in determining pregnancy and birth outcome. Indeed, the literature is full of correlations between these outcomes and prenatal care. In some cases in fact, such as in gestational diabetes, prenatal care is the most important determinant of birth outcome. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
