You could always have the baby and give it up for adoption. Also, there are medical procedures that can prevent from getting pregnant when raped. Another reason is that they think that abortion is not used as contraception. Many individuals use protection against getting pregnant, but learning your menstrual cycle to know when you’re ovulating and taking care of yourself can prevent a pregnancy. A pregnancy does cause stress.
It is typical for a mother to ask what to do to prevent pre-term labor. When that question is asked the doctor will state all the risk. Almost all of the risk is preventable, but the mothers fail to realize that (Murkoff, Mazel 46). Pre-natal care is the biggest attribute to the risks. Excessive weight gain or inadequate weight gain is a big factor when it comes to preterm labor (Murkoff, Mazel 46).
Both seem to be making a conscious decision about right and wrong and a practical decision about the impact of a baby on their lives. Each of the couples and the doctors were faced with conflicts on multiple levels involving both individual psychological needs and differences of values. These conflicts required resolutions that were interpersonal (ethical decisions for both parents and physicians), intrapersonal (between the parents themselves) and intergroup (between parents and the medical communities that served them). The causes of the conflict in the stories were values of the people. They believed that abortions were okay even though they knew they were being put in situations in which there was a possibility of them having multiple fetuses.
To breastfeed or bottle feed may not be an easy decision and should not be taken lightly by moms. When deciding to bottle feed or breastfeed, there are a lot of decisions to take into consideration. To decide if you want to bottle feed or breastfeed is to do some research on both methods of feeding. Breastfeeding provides the best nutrition for a baby, but formula feeding a newborn can also produce a highly healthy, happy child. The decision to breastfeed or bottle feed is up to the mother, her comfort level, her ability to produce milk, and her religion/culture.
Relationship between her family- Kathy may need support and want to reconnect with her family. These problems would need to be discussed with Kathy and we would need to prioritise them firstly starting with the safety of her baby and receiving antenatal care then dealing with receiving treatment for withdrawals that she may be experiencing. Kathy would need referrals to other service that may best serve her. All of Kathy’s problems need to be addressed in order of importance and how she feels most comfortable with. I would discuss with her that she needs assistance and suggest ideas on which services she has available to her if she wishes, however she will need to draw her own motivation and create goals that are achievable for her.
As a professional nurse I had to put aside my prejudice and investigate the situation further, realizing that there could be cultural and/or economic issues affecting the mother’s decision making. There are two ways to approach this scenario; directly or sympathetically. The facts regarding the mother’s choices will determine which approach is more appropriate. If it is revealed that she is merely negligent and lazy, she may need to be dealt with directly. “Telling it like it is” with specific information about her child’s condition and treatment, as well as her responsibilities as a mother, may wake her up!
The crying will act as an inborn social releaser as the mother will come to the aid of her child and try to comfort it always. Bowlby also explains that the first attachment a baby will form is the most important and will be for the rest of their lives; this is what he called monotropy. Monotropy is vital for a baby as their first attachment with their caregiver if secure will provide a good template for future relationships when forming attachments. Bowlby explains that if the baby does not form a good first relationship then their internal working model for future relationships will not be as good and they may have more difficulty in forming attachments. In addition, Bowlby believes that if a child fails to form an attachment in the first three years of their life then they will struggle forming secure and strong attachments in later life because of the idea of a continuity hypothesis which states that there is a link between early attachments and relationships in later life.
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.
She gave plenty of reasons why her argument for birth control could be outweighing by the arguments against. The speaker’s arguments stated just because you take away birth control doesn’t mean that they will stop having intercourse it may just lead to more disease. The opposite view was represented by stating if we take it away they will not stop having sex, but she then stated they will not stop and it will just cause more serious problems. Were the speaker’s arguments effective? Explain your answer.
An example of this is that there was a medication called Thalidomide to help pregnant women from having morning sickness. However doctors didn’t know the side effects of this medication. The side effect was that it gave babies severe deformities. This is an example of how the benefits outweigh the harm. Health and social care workers need to promote anti-discriminatory practice and these are how they do it.
