We didn 't get much hand on experience at this clinical, but we did get a lot of information. Wendy went over everything I think you could possibly want to know about pregnancy, the laboring process and what happens afterwards to momma and baby. This was a perfect discussion / education day because we have our first L&D exam coming up the following Friday and I have my L&D simulation lab Monday afternoon. Don 't get me wrong I like my hands-on clinical experience but today 's “lecture” for a lack of better words was so helpful. It has been hard to put the pieces together and see how multidimensional pregnancy and women 's health

The YouTube video of “Conception to birth visualized” by Alexander Tsiaras contains many information that I have read and learned from Babycenter on pregnancy tracker apps. I love to track my baby’s development during pregnancy by using pregnancy tracker apps.

I love spending time with kids of all ages and getting to know what them. When I think about my strengths, academics are definitely on the list, but they don’t compare to the irrevocable passion I have for children.

From assumptions, prejudice may occur which may cause conflict in the setting, as well as discrimination and stereotyping. In an antenatal ward, midwives, gynaecologists, obstetricians and other health professionals must see all clients with an open mind, with no prejudice towards her age, race, religion or background. Social perception is being able to recognise a person’s needs, feelings and intentions. This is often done in an antenatal ward; the professionals know that the clients are pregnant and ill, so it’s easy to recognise their needs depending on their illness. It is important to recognise the clients’ needs in the antenatal ward so you can provide them with the right support and communicate with them correctly.

Midwives play an imperitive role when advising women on their care an it is exceptionally important to liase our information in a professional form. Guaranteeing the information is non-biased and informative allowing the women to have control on her decision making (NMC 2017). A quantitive research by Beglry (2010) agress that women who are in our care are to be considered as partners when deciding their plan of care.

When we hear the term "Midwife" the first thing that comes up to a lot of people's minds is how it's one of the oldest profession's. Many people have different opinions on Midwives. According to Judith Rooks from the article of The History of Midwifery she states that many obstetricians from the 1930s helped reduce midwives by arguing that they are untrained and incompetent. Many other specialists thought that "pregnancy is a dangerous condition that requires a lot of care from a highly trained and highly educated specialist not from a midwife." According to Cordelia Hanna she states that in North America during the first 250 years of history colonies midwives attended most of the births in absence of physician and were highly respected in

While others in my class would cringe away from the birth video in my freshman health class, I watched in fascination, tearing up at how natural and joyous childbirth was. When I told my parents, they were hesitant when it came to their support. My mother thought it was a messy job that required too much liability insurance. Unfortunately for her I was headstrong and refused to listen.

Unlike doctors that only have one agenda when it comes to a woman giving birth, midwives provide women with individualized care uniquely suited to their physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and cultural needs. In the course of developing that relationship, midwives provide personalized and thorough care at many levels that empowers the soon-to-be mother in her ability to give birth and care for her baby. The maternity care practiced should be based on the needs of the mother and child and not the caregiver or provider; therefore, interventions should be avoided with the natural birthing process unless complications arise. Until 1940, midwives used to deliver most babies; however, there was a cultural and social shift that made women believe that the hospital provided a safer, pain-free birth without risks of hemorrhage, infection or death (Connerton). This movement has “grappled with economic, political, religious and racial differences” (Craven).
