Miscarriages
I remember when I was at the age of five, like any other kid at this age I wanted a sibling. I still remember the day when my mom told me that I was going to be a sister and how excited I was because I would finally have someone to play with. My mom was thrilled to know that she was pregnant and as any pregnant women would, my mom would go to her monthly checkups to see how the baby was doing.

Almost all ectopic pregnancies occur in the fallopian …show more content…

Many believe that miscarriages are caused by lifestyle related problems. Although the causes of miscarriages are unknown, statistics shows that 50% of miscarriages are caused by health related issues and the other 50% is unknown. However, we can assume that the other 50% can be related to lifestyle problems. For example, the excess in alcohol, drugs and smoking are believed to be some lifestyle problems that are the causes of miscarriages. Drugs, alcohol, and smoking, all increase the risk for a miscarriage. According to Dr. Schiffer, “It’s exposing a fetus to large amounts of these chemicals on a regular basis that can cause miscarriage, because they have a poisonous effect on all those developing cells.” Drugs, alcohol and smoking are poisonous and can have irreversible effects on the development of a baby. Therefore, it is necessary for one personally to take precaution and maintain a healthy lifestyle when pregnant. To decrease the high percentage of miscarriages that are caused by lifestyle related pregnancies one should give up all the bad habits of drinking, smoking and abuse of drugs, instead, you should increase the odds and enjoy a healthy

Peggy Orenstein in her article ‘Mourning my Miscarriage’ narrated her experience about her miscarriage and how she was able to mourn her loss. I learnt from Peggy’s experience that grieving involves acknowledging one’s loss in a way that allow a person to reflect, seek understanding of the loss, and in some way seek a resolution which might be ongoing. I also learnt that restorative communication is important as a way to deal with grief. Peggy in her experience applied herself deeply in seeking to deal with her grief, she talked about her experiences, how her culture does not recognize her miscarriage as a loss, and how her pro-abortion stands might play a role, in other words she sought a deeper understanding of her miscarriage as a way of

Miscarriages happen to 1 in 5 pregnancies, yet no one talks about it. When a woman finds out that she miscarried, most of the time only she and her husband know about it. People don’t want to talk about tragedy because there’s already so much of it. However, talking about miscarriages could help with pain and bring women who have had miscarriages together. Talking about their experiences with other women who went through the same thing could make them feel better knowing they aren’t alone.

Abortion 1 Abortion 5 Abortion Jason S. Eadens Benedictine University Abortion Well looking at the PBL for this class I wanted to write something that I was very opinionated about and that have my own morals about. I did not pick the top of the list that I found, but I chose to go with the second one, which is abortion (“11 Most Controversial Issues Dividing the Country,” n.d.). The topic of abortion is very important to me because my ex-wife wanted to have an abortion with my oldest child while we were going through a divorce.

Alcohol acts on different biochemical pathways and in different areas of the brain, this is why it isn’t clear when the alcohol starts the affect the fetus along with the mother (Christensen, p1).

Adolescent substance abuse prevention programs are generally idealistic, intuitive and driven by theory and data (e.g. data that provides findings on risk and protective factors). Assuming that I am awarded fifty thousand dollars annually for three years, I would construct a substance abuse prevention program for youth ages 10-14 (i.e. middle school youth). This prevention program would serve youth residing in an urban community where schools may be lacking support. It has been stated that “zero-tolerance policies” often rebuff youth rather than support them (Inaba and Cohen, 2011, p. 8.31).
