It starts off with a woman producing an egg which happens each month around two weeks after the menstrual period. The egg then travels from the ovary towards the uterus along the fallopian tube. Conception takes place during sexual intercourse. While the egg is in the fallopian tube, a sperm can fertilise it this happens when the man has an orgasm and ejaculates but only one sperm will be able to fertilise the egg. The fertilisation of the egg means that both genetic material from the egg and sperm joins together to give the beginning of a new life.
After the egg has been fertilised by one single sperm, no more sperm can enter and the egg becomes a Zygote. The Zygote travels through the fallopian tubes in to the womb where it attaches itself to the lining of the womb and begins to grow. This is at about 6-10 days after the woman’s egg is released. (nhs.uk) accessed 18.11.2013 Between 6-10 days and 8 weeks, the Zygote is called an Embryo, The sac that forms around the baby (amniotic) is filled with fluid which protects the baby like a cushion incase mum has ay falls or bumps. The placenta starts growing, this is full of blood vessels that take food and oxygen to the baby and takes away any waste produce throught the umbilical cord.
Birth: Around 38 weeks after the fertilisation has happened, the foetus will have developed enough for it to survive outside its mothers body. In most of the cases the babies are born with their head coming out first, but sometimes there are cases where the babies are born with their bottom coming out first and this what call the – breach birth. If there is a problem with a natural delivery then caesarean section is performed. Birth is the end of the foetal stage and the beginning of the infancy. 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.
Meconium Aspiration Syndrome by Bonnie Smith Neonatal Pediatric Respiratory Therapy Instructor Amy Rausch Meconium Aspiration Syndrome Meconium is a newborns first bowl movement. It is the stool that a baby passes before they have digested any breast milk or formula. Sometimes when a baby is still in the uterus, stress can cause them to pass the meconium into the amniotic fluid. The baby can then breathe the meconium into the lungs blocking the airway. When the baby is delivered the first breath can then drive the meconium even further into the lungs.
At an exam when Kira was 9 months, her pediatrician advised to keep her away from sick people, and checking out new foods for her, allowing a few days in between each new food to test for allergies. At birth I decided to breast feed Kira, yet supplementing with formula to make things easy when I was either not around or needed a break from nursing her. I feel that tapering off breast-milk from Kira’s diet may have made her more susceptible to illnesses. When Kira was 3 months, she often cried after meals and frequently suffered from diarrhea. At that time I decided to try switching Kira’s formula to test for allergies.

So, I have decided I want to write this essay on natural delivery verse’s medicated. Though we most know that natural delivery is better in the long run, but most women tend to choose to at the very least to have an epidural. I can attest to the fact that sometimes they do not work. I gave birth to a beautiful, bouncing baby girl on the 18th of November who weighed in at 8 pounds 8 ounces. I had been in labor for 2 days already the day my midwife suggested the epidural to me and of course I agreed.

On average 3% of babies arrive on time. Babies that are born less than 37 weeks into pregnancy are known as premature.

The first stage of childbirth, where the body is getting ready to deliver by dilating the cervix, can take a long time, especially if this is the woman's first child.
