Gina is my manager at a Traditional Chinese Medicine school. She found out she was pregnant when she took a pregnancy test the day or so after she was due, which was at the end of January 2014. She had the ultrasound around 8 weeks into her pregnancy, and confirmed she was pregnant. Gina and her husband were very excited and joyful about it because they love babies so much, and would like to have their own child. She didn’t have any of the pregnancy symptoms before 8 weeks, but after 8 weeks, she started having morning sickness, and her breast felt sore.

Women in other countries, including Great Britain(Drake, 2003) and the Netherlands(Wiegers, van der Zee, and Keirse, 1998) who have low-risk pregnancies may choose between home and hospital delivery. The move of childbirth from home to hospital has had a positive effect on lowering the deaths of the mother and infant because better trained assistance became available and, were emergencies to arise, they were better able to be handled. However, as these improvements developed, women found themselves losing control of their pregnancies with professionals, procedures, and equipment coming between them and the process of birthing. Because of this, we have seen a slow but consistent return to home births by women who wish to be removed from the bureaucracy of the hospital and have their children in the
WIC serves pregnant women and children under five years old- the ages at which nutricional sufficiency is most critical for brain development and long-term good health. At last count, almost half the nation’s infants were on WIC which serves people up to 185% of the poverty level. If this program were to be cut, it would affect the poor that already run low on resources and nutritional direction. A number of studies have shown that WIC is associated with better birth outcomes for at-risk populations. WIC has also repeatedly shown to return well- every dollar spent on WIC reduces health care and other costs between 1.77 and 3.50.

Breastfeeding does not only affect an infant during the years of actual nursing. It has been found that breast fed babies has a decreased chance of developing asthma, Type II Diabetes, ear infections, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and other illnesses (U.S Department of Health and Human Services, 2014). Along with this reduction of disease, Drane and Legemann (2000) report that breastfed infants are also showing cognitive development differences, when compared to formula fed infants. Research studies have confirmed this correlation: The association between infant feeding and cognitive development appears to be durable suggesting that formula-fed infants do not “catch up” to their breastfed counterparts. Effects have been detected at 5 years, 7.5 to 8 years, 10 years, 13 years and 18 years.
In the past, it is believed, that when, mothers breast feed babies, the next food is water.

If only 2 embryos were transferred it would not reduce the chance of pregnancy but could very well reduce the chance of multiple births. Some say though that only 2 will reduce the chance of IVF working. The database used was established by the Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority in U.K. The factors that are associated with increased risk of multiple births were studied. These factors include, the women’s age, the cause and duration of their infertility, the number of previous attempts at in vitro fertilization, the number of previous live births, the number of eggs fertilized and the number of embryos transferred.
