I have always been a huge advocate of breastfeeding mothers, and I am intrigued by this particular woman. I am a mother myself and feel that I have always received poor education when it comes to breastfeeding, and I wish that I knew more. I think it’s imperative for a new or expecting parents to know all the benefits for both mother and baby. Education for mother is critical, but can also open the eyes to society who can tend to be closed minded to the idea. Something so natural and beautiful may be just too controversial for the society we are currently living in.
Brook Sheilds Postpartum Michaela Martinelli Psychology 410 August 5, 2013 Linda Porcaro Having a baby is one of the happiest events in a womans life; and should be the most important one. Life with a new baby is rewarding just as much as it can be stressful and difficult. Many women transition without harsh difficulties, but there are some women who experience a considerable amount of postpartum disorder (PPD). In the 40 weeks a woman is pregnant her physical and emotional states of mind change. A pregnant woman can often feel sad, anxious, and confused.
Should IVF be available on the NHS? One reason for IVF being available on the NHS is that women who desperately want children of their own, wont be able to have them without the expensive IVF treatment. Many women are focused on their carers, and they don’t think about the time when they will be incapable of having a child. This leads to them trying to have children to late and them not being able to. I think that all women should be able to have children of their own, it’s not their fault that they were trying to create a better lifestyle for their ‘wanted child’ and if that means getting IVF treatment, they should be able to have it as an option provided by the NHS.
Having a baby is a very memorable moment, but it takes a lot of work and a lot of skill to be able to assist a mother when she is having a baby and also to help the new parents take care of their new baby. The term neonatal means the first twenty-eight days of life, as a neonatal nurse you work close with parents showing them how to do basic tasks to care for their new baby, you teach them how to change a diaper, how to breast feed, or if your bottle feeding how to make the bottle and the right temperature of the water so that you don’t burn your babies throat. Being a neonatal nurse requires very harsh working conditions, you work very long hours usually 12 hour shifts but most times you have to stay longer to finish your work, neonatal nurses usually work more than forty hours per week, depending on the position you got hired on to
First time mothers was chosen because a mother is more life changing than most other events, they give life and that life then becomes dependent on that mother, such as that she has to ‘put the baby first’. This is likely to involve her in the kinds of ordinary conflict talked about by Erikson as people move through different phases of their lives ( Holloway, chp 6, p260). Mothers feel as though they have to change their whole persona for their baby’s, to give them the attention they require which in this way changes their whole identities of the mothers that they had before the baby was born. When a woman becomes a mother she has a relationship with her child but she sees that her relationship with others can change, she is treated differently. New mothers have to learn and repeat a great array of practices (feeding, bathing, nappy changing, winding, putting to sleep) through which their new identities as mothers are established (Holloway, chp 6, p261).
In “Momma”, Chrystal Meeker tells us about her mother. The speaker shows us that her mother is very strong when it comes to her children. People are always saying that they would do anything for love, but the love for a child is totally different. The tie that a mother has to her child means more than anything. It means that she would give up anything in the world for her child’s safety or well being.
She is having false beliefs about reality. Tina is experiencing a major depressive disorder with psychotic features. Major Depressive disorder can be linked to family history.

Over time people thoughts, feeling and behaviour changes through past experience, but if you have a personality disorder you may find this more difficult. The way you behave, think and feel will be harder to change. People who suffer will find they have a limited range of emotions, attitudes and behaviours. You may find that the behaviours of sufferers to be a little unexpected or usual, people can find it hard spending time with some one who has a personality disorder. There are many different types of personality disorder which all separate into three different categories, these categories are; suspicious, emotional and impulsive and anxious.
I feel like the author who wrote this is very persuasive on what she wrote about and with all of the evidence that was put into this essay was pretty much all hard evidence. I also tend to believe what she is saying because I have been through a premature birth with my friends daughter her was born 1 pound 2 oz so I know the struggles that she goes through today as an 8 year old girl. I think that if parents were more informed of what problems they would face in the future they chose differently on rescuing their child. Overall I agreed with all of the evidence that was shown throughout the
I enjoyed reading Nancy Mairs’s “On Being a Cripple” because she really emphasized the struggle she must endure each and every day with her disease and how she copes with the fact that her life will never be the same as it once was. After reading this essay, I have learned that having a crippling illness is no excuse to give up on what you love to do. Nancy Mairs proved herself by continuing to teach and be the best mother and wife she could be, even after she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. She would not let her condition keep her away from what she loved most in her life. Nancy Mairs is truly an inspiration to those suffering with MS and other crippling disabilities because she shows us that being disabled isn't the end of the world.
