Baby Pedro Ignacio Tellez August 22, 2011-December 24, 2011 Born and Perished in Fontana, California Writing about a physical deformity is a very personal experience for me because of the love I feel for baby Pedro. I remember clearly the joy of Estela’s announcement of her pregnancy, all the plans and festivities to come. I had attended her wedding just seven months prior and now was the next logical step, a new little life. Everything seemed perfect, she wasn’t having any morning sickness and she looked cute with her maternity clothes. During her first trimester of pregnancy she went in for a routine check-up and she was told that there was an abnormality and that further tests were needed “just to be sure”.
I look at him with huge smile on my face saying “thank you Lord for this wonderful blessing and there is nothing wrong with me”. My eyes began to water and I hug my doctor and say thank you. I asked my doctor “why did all of my pregnancy test come back negative?” She giggles and says “Erika I can’t say right now but you’re mystery women.” Three months later and 28 hours of hard labor I had to giving birth by Caesarean section to a beautiful and healthy 7 pound 4 ounces and 20 inches long healthy baby boy Christopher. Giving life to someone is such a wonderful gift and a
I explained the blood issue, and still was sent home. My sister met me at the hospital that night and had 3 bottles of baby aspirin for me. I took one immediately, went home and never missed another dose. I am very happy to say, my son was born 9 months later, a healthy 8lbs. I believe that if it wasn’t for the aspirin, I would have had another
Tay Sachs Counseling After several years of marriage, Rita and Peter Trosack began trying to conceive a baby but were unsuccessful for two years. Finally, the news they had been waiting for came and Mrs. Trosack was pregnant. At her initial prenatal visit, the obstetrician recommended chorionic villus sampling (CVS) because of her age. This exciting time changed direction when the CVS results indicated that her fetus was afflicted with Tay-Sachs disease. This long awaited celebratory occasion quickly turned into an emotional nightmare and a high-risk pregnancy.
The adults are both in their mid-thirties, the family lives in their own home in the Tampa bay suburbs, the couple works outside of the home to provide for their family.

Part 1: Clinical Narrative and Clinical Question How do nurses respect cultural differences when caring for postpartum patients? For the past two clinical weekends, I was assigned to care for the postpartum patients and their newborns. On the first day of the morning shift, I took care of a 19 year old patient named, Mrs. Smith. She had a vaginal delivery, delivering a healthy baby boy, Jacob at 36.5 weeks of gestation. Around eight of the morning, I took Mrs. Smith vital signs and noticed that Mrs. Smith was breast-feeding her baby in bed.
It focuses on how important an relationship between a mother and child is. Also suggested that the development must occur during the critical period. If a child has experienced many separations before the age of 2 1/2, it is likely that the child will become emotionally disturbed. He felt after the age of 5 children are better able to cope with separation. Bowlby's hypothesis did not suggest that the relationship had to be with the mother.
Multiple Sclerosis May 1, 2012 Sixteen year old female wakes up the morning of her homecoming and was blurry in her left eye. Her mother eventually set up an appointment with her pediatrician, who sent her to the eye doctor. From there, doctors ordered an MRI, and sent her to a different hospital.

The morning of May 27, 2004, my mother arrived at North Shore University Hospital because she was having contractions. After six hours, the doctor sent her home because she was only dilated two centimeters. The doctor instructed her to walk to help get the baby to crown. She spent much of her day following the doctor’s orders. Later that night, she returned to
Many children who do not have FAS or FAE, but who were exposed to alcohol prenataly - can still suffer from one or more symptoms of FAS. We also can bring evidence that mothers who were drinking during pregnancy may find behavioural and socio-emotional problems in their children(not only in childhood)(O’Connor, M.J., 2001.). One of many dangers of alcohol consumption during pregnancy is spontaneous abortion risk (highest risk is in 1st trimester), we looked at Kesmodel et al. (2002) study and his look on previous studies - to support this statement. However there are some inconsistencies with this area of research.
