cause specific maternal mortality survey (2004-2005), postpartum haemorrhage is a leading cause of maternal death (30.98%). Maternal mortality due to puerperal sepsis was 7.04% (Ministry of Health and UNICEF, 2006). These can be reduced by proper postnatal care with adequate considerations of cultural beliefs and practices during postpartum. Postpartum beliefs and practices may be neutral, beneficial and harmful effects and these may act as barriers for receiving professional guidance. {Myanmar postpartum

Fetal and Postnatal Growth Introduction From conception through fetal development, childhood, and adolescence, there are many factors that affect the growth of a child. Throughout his life, child undergoes a remarkable transformation before reaching adulthood; this transformation involves not only physical growth and maturation but also a dazzling array of complex developmental events impacting on each organ system and on the child as a whole. Developmental phenomena can be important determinants
Postnatal depression is one of the most common type of depression that effects mother after childbirth. Due to the pervasive of postnatal depression it is become a require for each mother to learn several things about it such as postnatal depression prognosis, diagnosis, and the treatment options which are available to mothers who experiencing postnatal depression. Postnatal depression is not a disorder which is hard to prognosis and it is good to prognosis it early. It is unequivocal that women

In accordance with moral standards, parents should strive to provide the best possible environment for their children. If findings are true, regarding the ability for fetuses to recognize and discern different auditory frequencies in the prenatal environment, then the importance of determining its effect in the prenatal and postnatal world is crucial to ensuring the future generation’s intelligence.

Prenatal Amish view pregnancy and childbirth as normal biological functions of the female body, however; due to their cultural beliefs they will not seek out prenatal care until late in their pregnancy, if no problems arise. Women who are primiparous, giving birth for the first time, will generally seek prenatal care at around four months, while those who are multiparous, those who have given birth multiple times, generally seek prenatal care during the third trimester. Amish women typically do not
In order for an infant to benefit from postnatal language exposure the brain must have reached a certain level of maturity (Key, Lambert, Aschner, & Maitre, 2012). The brain processes speech sounds in different areas of the brain dependent upon the gestational age of the infant; those born prematurely
have a direct bearing on prenatal life, later on manifest postnatal. The human body is a highly organized system with trillion of cells communicating with each other to ensure proper functioning. However those functions, can be enhance or impaired by endogenous or exogenous agent, which act in concert to produce effects during prenatal life. These effects might have consequences on emotional and cognitive development of a child postnatal. Deena Palenchar (2005) stated that there are environmental
recommends it should it only performed in tertiary care. Although these articles differ in sample size they state the same thing in that prenatal surgery is the most effective treatment for Spina Bifida, and is associated with less difficulties than postnatal surgery. Since, Spina Bifida is a progressive and there is no known cure, fetal surgery shows positive outcomes for participants that undergo this procedure. All the researchers felt strongly that prenatal surgery is a new upcoming way of treatment
The Effects of Education on Postpartum Depression Outcomes: A Literature Review Postpartum Depression (PPD) is a period of depression that follows childbirth and lasts more than two weeks. It is experienced by up to 15% of women in the first three postpartum months (Camp, 2013). PPD is well represented in all ages, races, and cultures. The causes of PPD are currently unknown. There are many factors that place patients at a higher risk of developing PPD. These factors include history of PPD, depression
The case study that I will be looking at in this assignment is case study 2. This relates to Niamh and her partner who are pregnant with their second child. Their daughter from the previous pregnancy is now four years old, but the memories of the birth have caused anxiety to linger with them as they found it to be very traumatic. They are both very excited and happy to be pregnant again and are looking forward to the arrival of their second child. However, they both have very differing views on the
gestation weighing 500 to 2500 grams of SIDS victims and non SIDS victims. The researchers attempted to find a correlation between the two groups of preterm infants. The fourth study was conducted to investigate a possible correlation between the postnatal growths preceding Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. In this particular study the victims of SIDS were matched with two controls of the same age. The research was collected by parental interview review of medical records and body weights. Finally, I will
Cerebral Palsy can also come in mixed forms. A combination of Ataxic and Spasticity is the most common, and affected individuals tend to have low muscle tones, as well as a hard time sitting and standing properly. Mixed Cerebral Palsy generally causes involuntary movements associated with speaking, feeding, reaching and other skills necessary for correlated movement. Generally, cases of mixed Cerebral Palsy will result in a person becoming quadriplegic (Lewis & Bear 187). People are diagnosed with
purposes of this essay, maternal depression will be defined as depression {see ICD-10 MDD} experienced from childbirth onwards. Maternal depression could be part of a chronic depressive disorder or of recent onset, such as postnatal depression. However this essay is not limited to postnatal depression as this occurs from four weeks post birth, which is a limited time frame, the effects of which are difficult to separate from those of other maternal depressive disorders. Different aetiologies of mood disorder

Studying Psychology has allowed me to understand the effect of the neurotransmitter serotonin, and how low levels may contribute to postnatal depression. By incorporating the 6C’s into my work ethic, I will be able to support some of the 80% of expectant mothers experiencing a form of postnatal “baby
Transition & Life Cycle: Across family life-cycle literature, the arrival of a first child into the marital structure is considered to be one of the most common and key stages a family will experience during its development. Further, it also possesses the potential to be one of the most stressful examples of change within the marital relationship with the experience of having a baby being ranked at 6th out of 102 stressful life events1. It is widely accepted that the birth of a child changes the
midwives play a significant role in providing a resource they need for prevention, detection, and treatment. The two most common ones discussed for the purpose of this assignment are the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and the Postpartum Depression Screening Scale (PDSS). The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) is a self-report instrument used a scale to measure depression childbearing, women. It is made up of ten items ranked from 0 to 3 reflecting on the patient’s experience over
Human adaptation regarding food takes place through three primary mechanisms; genotypic, phenotype, and socio-cultural changes. Genotypic adaptation is one way in which people adapt to food, as form of genetic evolution. One explanation and example of genotypic evolution is the Thrifty Genotype Hypothesis. The Thrifty Genotype Hypothesis attempts to explain the variation in effects of Type II diabetes, particularly in modern Native/Indigenous peoples. The hypothesis gives reason to believe that
Now, children with intellectual disabilities are respected, and cared for just like anyone else. This was not true prior to the mid 19th century. People and doctors feared them and they were often ignored. As time continued throughout history things changed for the better. Some people may have believed that someone either had an intellectual disability or not, but this is not true. There are different levels to it. Children with an intellectual disability can and do attend regular schools with a
