Recommended: Difficulty you face as a teen mom

The baby doll was a lot of work and need a lot of dedication in order to take care of it properly. When I took the baby doll in public like in the hallway or my classrooms, the public would give me a weird look. The public judged me on like, why I took this class or why I had the baby. Moreover, when I took the baby doll to Wal-Mart, everyone thought I was a teen mom and give me a dirty look and was judging me on why I had a baby at this age. However, my family members found it very amusing to see me up and taking care of the child. They thought I was getting experience for the future and taking responsibility. They were also amazed of how the baby doll worked like a real little baby. From the project I learned that everyone is brought up with many …show more content…

Giving birth to a baby is painful, but taking care of one is also as tough. One does not have to go through physical pain, but the work, safety, care, time and precautions needed to raise a baby are a lot. It is really tiring to take care of a baby at this age or even at any age, but this age is more for focusing on our goals than having kids. Therefore I learned to stay away from all these things and focus on school. Some problems that I came across were not being able to do anything properly. For example not being able to take my shower or not being able to sleep. The baby kept waking up and interrupting my sleep every hour and he needed my care and attention. This is a problem for me because I don’t really like waking up early. Also I could not take a shower as long as I always take; I had to take it really quickly and had to get out when the baby started crying. (This was a soon as I entered the washroom.) Having a baby is a lot of work and a lot of dedication. You need to stay focused and being a single parent without any support is hard. It becomes challenging to take care of a baby day in and day

When I was a freshman I was so looking forward to doing this project I was like “Yay i can't wait to have my fake baby boy, I can't wait to take it with me every where!” Then the time finally came and nothing turned out like like i wanted it to.

In all honesty i feel like there were no good times spent with me and my baby. I had to take her everywhere and it was actually kind of frustrating and even though it was a fake baby it actually caused me and my parents to argue over the stupidest

  • Pregnancy And Childbirth

    796 Words  | 2 Pages

    Pregnancy and childbirth represent life-changing times in most women’s lives. Pregnancy can be a time for happiness and positive expectations for the future, but for some it is a time of great anxiety. An estimated one million women loose an unborn child in the United States each year (Wong, Crawford, Gask & Grinyer, 2003). Approximately 10-15% of all clinically recognized pregnancies will end in miscarriage (Wilcox, et al. 1988). In addition, Gold et al. (2007) estimates that up to fifty percent of all clinically and unclinically recognized pregnancies end in miscarriage. As many as 80 percent of these women will become pregnant again following a perinatal death (Cordle & Pettyman, 1994). The World Health Organization (WHO) defines a miscarriage as an unintentional loss of an embryo or fetus up to 22 weeks or no more than 500 grams (WHO, 1977). An estimated 22-41% of women who suffer from a pregnancy loss experience some level of anxiety (Athey & Speilvogel, 2000). Geller et al. (2004) concluded that women with a history of perinatal death show increased anxiety with subsequent pregnancies compared to women who have not suffered a loss. Women who have experienced a prior perinatal death can be especially anxious when they become pregnant again, often fearing a similar outcome from their previous pregnancy. The loss of a child is devastating, and many women suffer in silence. Broen, Moum, Sejersted Bodtker & Ekberg (2005) concluded that anxiety is a much more prominent response to a perinatal death than depression. Women who experience pregnancy-related anxiety are at greater risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes (Reck et. al., 2013). Psychological interventions to address the trauma related to pregnancy loss has been largely negle...
