Abruptio Placentae vs. Placenta Previa Abruptio Placentae vs. Placenta Previa The placenta is the first connection between mother and fetus that will be instrumental in providing life and forming a connection that will last a lifetime. The placenta is the lifeblood of the fetus- the site of nutrient absorption, gas exchange and waste elimination. When that connection has complications, the results can be devastating. In this paper we will compare two very serious complications that can occur
Compare and contrast Death of a naturalist and Catrin In both poems, the writers reflect on childhood and change. Heaney looks back on his childhood and the change he took while growing up where as Clarke is reflecting on childhood as an adult, a mother and how she copes, and her views of having a child, and being in child birth. In Heaney’s poem, Death of a Naturalist, he is reflecting on his childhood and the attitude he uses towards his childhood. The attitude he has changes during
Placental abruption is a condition in which premature separation of the placenta from the uterus. Women with placental abruption, also called abruptio placentae, usually present with bleeding, uterine contractions, and fetal distress. Complications such as a risk for recurrence in women who have experienced placental abruptions previous in other pregnancies. Understanding the leading cause to contributing factor of placental abruption, is understanding the origin of the condition. Associations that
oxidative stress, immunologic intolerance between the placenta and mother, genetics, inflammatory factors, maternal vascular disease, superabundant trophoblast tissue, and angiogenic imbalances (Bell, 2010). It is known that preeclampsia can lead to low fetal birth weights resulting from decreased placental perfusion related to the mother’s increasing blood pressure and vasospasm. Poor placental perfusion then leads to early degenerative aging of the placenta increasing the risk for placental abruption (book)
After reading the book called “The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down” by Anne Fadiman it made me think about life a little different. It made me view life as if I were Lia and her family and going through everything they are going through within this book. How they have overcome every obstacle and challenge. No woman in the world should have to go through a phase where they have lost their child. Reading this book also made me realize some the things I don’t want to go through when I have children
Clarke displays the “Catrin” poem about parental and child relationship and the bounds between parent and child. The poem begins with poet’s voice to a child and the poem highlighted the difference between mother and child and the common problems parents have with their children. Also the poem is about the loving but sometimes the tense relationship changes between mother and daughter and Catrin has strained relationship with her mother. The poem is split it in to two stanzas: the first stanza is
myometrium continued to contract and retract. Therefore, the surface area decreased under the placenta and it detached from the spongy layer of the decidua, consequently exposing the maternal spiral arteries. During the expulsion phase, Laura’s placenta descended into her lower uterine segment and the membranes peeled away from the walls of her uterus. With further contractions of her uterus, Laura’s placenta and membranes descended into her vagina and expelled from it. Johnson and Taylor (2010) explain
Reflection Paper 1 Timothy Jenkins CEP 215 New Mexico State University Upon viewing “More Business of Being Born” (Epstein, 2011), I learned a lot about the different pros and cons of Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC). Women are often deprived of the choice of the method of delivery of their children after they’ve previously had a cesarean birth. The cause of this is that there exists medical fright about a rupture of the uterus which often leads to death of mother and baby (Epstein, 2011). In
Conception refers to impregnation or fertilisation after sexual intercourse, a stage before pregnancy takes place. There are many ways to prevent conception with artificial contraception such as condoms, the contraceptive pill, intrauterine devices, and male or female sterilization. However, many people are strongly against the use of contraception as they believe that life begins at impregnation or fertilisation, thus they see preventing conception as being morally and ethically wrong.
