Shots of a fertility hormone are administered for seven to eleven days, to stimulate the production of an abnormally large number of egg-containing follicles. During this time the donor must have her blood tested every other day so that doctors can monitor her hormone levels, and she must come in for periodic ultrasounds. Thirty-six hours before retrieval day a shot of hCG, human chorionic gonadotropin, is administered to prepare the eggs for release, so that they will be ready for
Labour, or the process of birth is divided into three stages, which are: Dilation Delivery of the body Delivery of the placenta Dilation: this is where the strong uterine contractions cause the cervix to dilate until it is wide enough for the mother to bead to pass through- usually about 10 cm. this stage can take up to 2-24 hours. Delivery of the body: this is where the baby is expelled through the birth canal, to the outside world. The mother pushes down to expel the body. The bluish colour of the body quickly starts to turn pink as he/she starts to breathe.
Usually home pregnancy tests are accurate after the first day of a woman's missed period. Pregnancy tests search for HGC in the urine.

During this stage, heart rate and body temperature continues to fall. Stage 4 sees the electroencephalography (EEG) dominated by delta waves and our metabolic rate reaches its lowest. And finally, stage 5 sees the occurrence of REM, or paradoxical sleep as our brain is very active but our body is paralysed.

Water Versus Love: An Analysis of Breastfeeding vs Formula Feeding Many mothers are still questioning which method of feeding is best for their infant as nutrition is essential. According to Gloria Leifer’s Introduction to Maternity and Pediatric Nursing, during the first few months of a newborn’s life, nutrition is especially important in the involvement of brain growth (221). In addition, Leifer states energy consumption is high because of the rapid growth of the infant (221). Coupled with the fact mentioned in the article “Breastfeeding and Formula Feeding” by Melissa Conrad Stӧppler, the majority of weight gained by the infant depends on the milk that he or she drinks. According to Stӧppler, whether to use formula or to breastfeed should be decided prior to delivery, because production of milk in the breasts diminishes after childbirth due to the non-stimulation of breastfeeding (“Breastfeeding and Formula Feeding”).
Assignment: Gender Identity Colleen Rabe Course: PSY 265 Due Date is week 3 day 7 There several factors that are used when determining gender identity. These include genetic factors, environmental situations, psychosocial factors, and even sexual hormones. “Gender identity is almost always consistent with chromosomal sex.” From the moment sperm fertilized an ovum, our destiny to be a girl or a boy is chosen.

Starting about six weeks into the pregnancy, our bodies began to form and create the sex of what they are meant to be.
