...Diabetes and Pregnancy HCS/245 Instructor September 10, 2012 Abstract Being pregnant is a very exciting time in a women’s life. The thoughts of bring a new life into the world can be exciting and scary at the same time. A woman can have diabetes before becoming pregnant and they can also develop diabetes during pregnancy, this called Gestational diabetes. In the past, women who were known to have diabetes were discouraged about becoming pregnant due to all the health problems for the mother and the health problems that a baby could develop before being born (WebMD, page 1). A few of the health problems for the mother would be: miscarriage, premature delivery, low blood glucose at delivery, eye problems, worsening kidney problems, and preeclampsia just to name a few. The health problems for the baby would be birth defects, prolonged jaundice, respiratory distress syndrome, and being born prematurely and all the problems that go along with being premature. Another common problem with babies of pregnant women with diabetes is that they have very large babies. This happens because the babies receive too much sugar from the mother and it turns to fat which in turn increases the size of the baby. This can make the baby to large to be delivered naturally and a cesarean delivery would then be necessary. As stated in WebMD, “once delivered, the baby could develop dangerously low blood sugar right after delivery because of high levels...

There will be many challenges I have to face such as no one ever telling me to do things such as “get up, “go to class , and did you finish your homework and don’t forget you cant call your mom when you feel your grades don’t reflect the scholar in you or as Ms. Manning would say “helicopter parents” they just can hover over when your sometimes thousands of miles away and drop in on your professor .The Greatest challenge is being on my own its bitter sweet. I will have several freedoms like coming home whenever I want and It will be hard to balance fun and education. Another challenge is money I have to learn how to feed myself take care of myself on a strict budget which is something I have never had to do in my life do you people no how much some decent rolls toilet paper cost just the thought of having to buy my own materials kills me.

...Teenage Pregnancy: Acceptance as Pop Culture Our society comprises of many gender niches and roles. Women are sisters, daughters, and most importantly mothers. Motherhood is one of the most cherished roles that a woman can take on. In the past, women were meant to be seen and not heard as their value depended on their ability to bear children and raise them thoughtfully. Even though that has changed and women are expected to gain an education and lead a career, motherhood can still be a main part of their life. However, motherhood does spring upon on some by surprise. Teenage pregnancy in the last few years have been on the rise and has become a problem for some to live up to that expectation of an education and career (Peck). In the past, teenage pregnancy was a taboo. However its discussion has become more widely accepted. Through analyzing the Candie’s Foundation ad in the October 2011 issue of Teen Vogue, it can be seen as an example of the shift in perception of teenage pregnancy in the United States. The Candie’s Foundation is a philanthropic branch from the clothing line Candie’s. The clothes from the Candie’s brand are meant to appeal to teenage girls who dress girly and traditionally feminine. Focusing on the same demographic, the foundation was founded with the goal to raise awareness about teenage pregnancy in 2001, according to their website. The print ads from their current campaign mainly feature female celebrities such as Fergie, Hilary Duff, Ciara, Hayden...

...INDIA has a multi-ethnic, multi-religious society living together. India, with its diverse & fascinating history, arts, music, culture, spiritual & social models has become a matter of proud for all of us. Also it can become a superpower in future by working hard in many fields. We all know that India is a developing country, but still to become a developed one or to become a superpower, lot of work has to be done. First of all, our goal of superpower has to be unique and not just what other countries like USA did. We have to redefine what superpower actually means. A superpower is a developed, self-reliant and a truly independent nation. It is a country with a dominant position in international issues and has the ability to exert its influence and project power on a global scale. The term superpower first applied to the British Empire, the United States and the Soviet Union. Now india is also moving its steps towards it. India can become a superpower being like an elephant that neither eats other animals nor gets eaten by them. Similarly we should neither threaten nor defenceless. It is known that India is a country that occupies greater part of South Asia. If we talk about area, India ranks as the seventh largest country in the world. Though India is the world's biggest democracy and has a strong political system, yet to become a superpower it is a bit away. We should strive to be a superpower in technology, education and ideas just as we did from the start...

...Teen Pregnancy, Whose Problem is it? Name Ashford University Social Problems SOC 203 Gina Rollings March 11, 2013 . When a teenage girl becomes pregnant she faces many stresses during her pregnancy. Things like depression, shame, guilt, and fear set in (Meyerhoff, 2006). These things are difficult for adults to deal with let alone for a young girl who is pregnant. Fear of the future comes into play. These girls do not know what to do, what they are going to do, or where to start. Many of them feel as though they now have to put their lives on hold, change their goals, and learn how to juggle school and motherhood. Many teenage mothers also face depression, both before and after the baby are born; interactions with a depressed mother can make children more susceptible to mental health problems. Many teenagers have limited or no support and some get thrown out of their parent’s homes with nowhere to go. The teenage mother can become very shameful and try to hide the fact that she is pregnant. During the first 3 months of pregnancy; seven out of ten teenage girls do not get prenatal care, see a doctor, or go to a clinic (Taylor, 2010, 11, 12). They are at a greater risk of getting anemia, high blood pressure, placental problems, and pregnancy induced hypertension. The mother (the teen) is not the only one who faces stresses. The baby itself can experience difficulties as well. Things like low birth weights...

...The Effects of Smoking during Pregnancy Cassandra Buckner National American University Abstract There are many dangers to an unborn child that can follow them the rest of their lives from maternal smoking. Many studies and significant research shows smoking during pregnancy increases the risk of a long list of problems. Still birth is the most common complication, but placental dysfunctional, premature labor and low birth weight are also problems that can harm the fetus. Over 40% of children studied also had some form of heart defect. Exposure to cigarette smoke during pregnancy has also been linked to SIDS. Birth defects such as cleft palate and cleft lip can be caused from smoking while pregnant as well as your child being diagnosed with asthma. Speech defects as well as behavioral problems such as ADD/ADHD also play a role in maternal smoking. No one would give an infant a cigarette, so why would we while carrying our child smoke? Smoking during pregnancy can harm both the baby and the mother. Most would do anything to protect their child. Yet many women, who feel this way, continue to smoke while pregnant, insisting that the dangers are non-existent. In reality, there are many dangers to an unborn child that can follow them for the rest of their lives, if they survive gestation, and birth. Miscarriages, low birth weight, premature labor, and organ defects are just a few things that can plague the child of a smoking mother. There are many studies, and significant...
