There is a way though. Pregnancy is common in prisons. Many women enter the jails already being pregnant and many become pregnant after entering the prison. I believe there should be law about incarcerating woman that is pregnant or becomes pregnant for many reasons. Many people side with me and others think differently.
Pregnancy imposes physical demands that are made worse by the physical conditions of incarceration, and studies of pregnancy outcome among women prisoners have shown high prenatal mortality and morbidity. Documented problems include high rates of fetal and neonatal death, intrauterine growth retardation, preterm labor and delivery, and conditions requiring admission to a neonatal intensive care. It does not appear that infant birth-weights differ significantly among incarcerated and non incarcerated women and seems to be positively influenced by length of time in prison. In addition, infants of inmates who deliver in prison are typically separated from their mother following delivery and placed in relative or foster care until completion of the mother's sentence. This situation interferes with bond of attachment between mother and child and can lead to serious developmental consequences for the child, as well as psychological stress for the

Pregnant Teenagers as a Vulnerable Population At risk mothers and infants-of-concern have been considered a vulnerable population since teen pregnancy was identified as a pandemic in the 1990s. These teenage mothers are at risk for pregnancy complications, low birth weight babies, and increased rates of infant mortality. However, the more ominous risk is that of poverty and the associated vulnerabilities that accompany living below the poverty level. The paper will discuss the demographic data regarding teen pregnancy, the social stigma attached to teen pregnancy and the economic impact to the teen and to society. A case study is examined to illustrate possible approaches to care and personal reflections of the author will be shared regarding issues of teenage pregnancy.
They state that the reason of this increase and growing rate is because of women in poverty and also the increased drug related offenses prosecuted against women. Most of the women in prison are there from committing nonviolent crimes and the women who are there for violent crimes; the majority of them are there for killing their abusive partners. A way to lower the incarceration rate of women is to make the current felony drug charges misdemeanors and by providing extra services behind bars to deal with things such as domestic, sexual, physical, emotional, and mental abuse (McCoy 9). Addressing these issues before incarceration and during will help women fit back into
INTRODUCTION There are two phases of development in a woman’s life during which physical changes have a significant impact on her emotional, as well as her psychological nature. Hormones, in particular, can affect teenage girls, age twelve to fifteen, and women in middle age, age forty-five to fifty-five. These developmental changes can impact them in many ways, including their relationships with others. In a family where a daughter is experiencing adolescence and a mother is experiencing menopause both at the same time, their relationship can be deeply affected by the impact of their hormonal changes. This thesis looks at how the hormonal milestones of adolescence and menopause can change and affect females, as well as the way a mother and daughter communicate, their emotions, their diets, and general problem solving skills.
Timothy J Gallant HUS318/SSC318: Adolescence, Sub Abuse & Crimi (Summer 2013) Women Behind Bars Silja J.A. Talvi UMA Campus 7/1/2013 The book influenced my opinion on women in prison because; I learned that the incarceration of at risk women does nothing to help them but does everything to help damage our American society and infrastructure. It should be a matter of great concern that almost two and a half million children have a parent in prison. This confounding statistic points to a growing normalization of correctional supervision and the forced dependency it perpetuates. Moreover, these children are set up for failure because of the denied access to federal benefits many of their mothers will incur due to the
• To become a neonatal nurse practitioner (NNP), you will also need a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) degree. Many neonatal nursing schools offer this degree through a two-year Advanced Practice Neonatal Nursing (APNN) program. This type of program will prepare you for nursing licensure as anurse practitioner (NP) and/or clinical nurse specialist (CNS). There are three different levels of neonatal where a neonatal nurse might work: Level I consists of caring for healthy newborns. Level I nurseries are now uncommon in the United States.
If incarcerate pregnant women are need of medically necessary, specialized care that is not available at the correctional facility, access should be granted of such care at a subsidiary medical facility with suitable expertise. Along with proper care, prenatal classes instructed by medical personnel outlining nutritional needs, ways to maintain a healthy pregnancy while incarcerated, and childbirth should be made available on a weekly basis to inmates. Prompt screening of substance abuse of any incarcerated pregnant woman is extremely important to the health of both the mother and the fetus. “Identification of pregnant women who are addicted to opioids facilitates provision of
Trafficked people often suffer from a multitude of physical and psychological health problems.Women are specifically vulnerable to reproductive and other gender-specific health problems in trafficking situations as they have little or no access to reproductive health care. These problems include lack of access to birth control, constant rapes, forced abortions and contraceptive use, lack of regular mammograms and other health issues. Women in domestic servitude are subject to rape and other physical abuse, while women in forced sex work suffer increased risk of sexually transmitted infections, including HIV/AIDS. Every year thousands are trafficked across India for a variety of reasons including sexual exploitation, bonded labor, organ transplantation, adoption, coerced marriage etc. Women and children are particularly vulnerable to human trafficking and in Manipur child trafficking appears to be a growing epidemic.
