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
Abortion is the termination of the entire pregnancy yet selective reduction is performed to improve the survival rate of the remaining fetuses and also the mother. Selective reduction is performed early in the pregnancy, normally between weeks 9 and 12, it is most often performed when there are four or more fetuses present, can be used to reduce triplets to twins, and with a fetus with severe defects (www.webmd.com). Infants born part of a multiple pregnancy are at increased risk of prematurity, cerebral palsy, learning disabilities, slow language development, behavioral difficulties, chronic lung disease, and death (Multifetal Pregnancy Reduction, 2013). These risks play an important role in a mother’s decision to utilize selective reduction. Maternal risks of a multi-fetal pregnancy include hypertension, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, and postpartum hemorrhage (Multifetal Pregnancy Reduction, 2013).

Running head: NEWBORN WRITE-UP1 Newborn Write-Up Newborn Write-Up The initial assessment of the newborn is performed immediately after birth using the Apgar score and a physical examination. The Apgar score allows a quick assessment of the newborn’s evolution to the outside world and it is based on five signs that specify the physiologic condition of the newborn heart rate, respiratory effort, muscle tone, reflex irritability, and generalized skin color). Apgar assessments are made at 1 minute, 5 minutes and sometimes repeated at 10 minutes following birth by a nurse or proper personnel. A short physical examination is performed to check for obvious signs of the newborn’s overall health status. Other necessary measures will be performed over the next few minutes and hours depending on the condition of the newborn (Lowdermilk, Perry, & Cashion, 2010).

The father will engage with the newborn so the newborn will fell the fathers’ energetic care. This will let the newborn to flourish and helps the mother to get the important care she may need to conquer postpartum depression (Berger, K. S. (2010).
Marcus also shows signs of learning difficulties, and limited communication skills. These problems could have developed by Tiffany smoking habit while pregnant. This paper will discuss the risks and developmental complication, the long-term disorder, potential issues for the child during later development, and the relationship between my findings and the developmental history case. Risks and Developmental Complication During Tiffany pregnancy she smoked at least four cigarettes a day, she informed me in the interview she tried several times to quick smoking but fail at every attempt, she was aware of the complications that could happen to her unborn child. Nicotine exposure has been shown to increase risk for inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity (Massaro, Rothbaum & Aly, 2006).
Synthesis #2 1) Approximately 1% of babies in the United States are born with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders or (FASD). FASD is an umbrella term for all birth related defects associated with alcohol exposure prenatally (O’Connor & Whaley, 2007). Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, or (FAS) is a specific medical diagnosis for permanent conditions from birth to prenatal alcohol related conditions (Rasmussen et al., 2012). FAS can result in mental disabilities, as well as psychological and behavioral problems (Rasmussen et al., 2012). Children who are diagnosed with FAS, are also put at risk for maltreatment by their mothers (Grant, Ernst, Streissguth, Stark; 2005).

Modern lifestyle is part of the factors responsible for high maternal and infant mortality. Mothers need to be sensitised on wellness. Malaria, measles, small pox, bacteria infection, poliomyelitis, tuberculousis and cough are disease factors, while hemorrhoid, bleeding blood group incompatibility, tetanus, Sexual Transmitted Disease, (STD), stillbirth, premature delivery, ignorance, and inaccessibility to obtain treatment are socio-economic factors. Measles, mumps, small pox, chicken pox, influenza, dipthera, diarrhoea, and pyrexia, are ailments that attack infants; there could be pyrexia of unknown origin or as a result of diseases mentioned. Immunity acquired by mothers can cover infants for up to six months, after birth.
Because our personality develops during childhood and adolescence and then remains quite constant for the rest of our lives, childhood and adolescence are the most critical years, regarding personality development, to have access to health care. Prior to childhood, though, the prenatal environment and infancy have an impact as well: even before we see the world or know how to speak, our personalities are forming. Prenatally, for example, it has been suggested that our temperament is inherited (Dennis &ump; Hassol, 1983, p. 34). Proper prenatal care is important for preventing birth defects because the nine-month period in the intrauterine environment is a time of incredible development. Cells are dividing rapidly, forming organs, including the brain, which is the control center for personality.
