SCENARIO Prior to the visit I had received a telephone handover from the new Mother’s midwife, who had explained this had been an uneventful pregnancy and straight forward delivery. However her sister had very recently given birth, which had tragically resulted in the baby dying shortly afterwards. The midwife explained this had created anxieties about her new baby and that whilst she appeared to doing okay it was something to be mindful of. This highlights again the importance of collaborative working and effective handovers ( ).

When Liddy fell pregnant I was shocked. Liddy’s character showed that she was determined not to have a teenage pregnancy like what happened to her mother. Liddy said “I feel sorry for my Mum having to bring me up on her own”, Liddy getting pregnant shocked me because she didn’t seem that kind of girl. This event was important because it shows that a teenage pregnancy can happen to anyone. Even

| “There are states that require a parental consent for children under the age of 18 years.” There should be more substance to this point. The sentence stands alone and leaves the reader wondering. | What is your favorite part of this piece of writing? | “When a woman decides that abortion is the way to go it not an easy decision to come to there may be factors that they need to look at.

After describing this to Lughod, Zaynab offered to take time away from her children to show her through the three treatments known in Egypt to prevent or diminish the idea of blockage from a woman’s body. Lughod was first taken to the Pharaonic temple where she was first given a tin container from Zaynab with water inside of it to bathe in. When exiting the temple afterward, she was told that she must leave through the opposite path of which she entered to help reverse the blockage in her body.
