...INTRODUCTION Pregnancy, the state of carrying a developing embryo or fetuswithin the female body. This condition can be indicated by positive resultson an over-the-counter urine test, and confirmed through a blood test,ultrasound, detection of fetal heartbeat, or an X-ray. Pregnancy lasts forabout nine months, measured from the date of the woman's lastmenstrual period (LMP). It is conventionally divided into three trimesters,each roughly three months long.When gestation has completed, it goes through a processcalled delivery, where the developed fetus is expelled from the mother’swomb. There are two options of delivery: Cesarean section and NSVD ornormal spontaneous vaginal delivery. A cesarean section is a surgicalincision through the mother’s abdomen and uterus to deliver one or morefetuses. NSVD or normal spontaneous vaginal delivery is the delivery of the baby through vaginal route. It can also be called NSD or normalspontaneous delivery, or SVD or spontaneous vaginal delivery, where themother delivers the baby with effort and force exertion.Normal labor is defined as the gradual subjugation anddilatation of the uterine cervix as a result of rhythmic uterine contractionsleading to the expulsion of the products of conception: the delivery of thefetus, membranes, umbilical cord, and placenta. Laboring cannot that beeasy; thereby implicating that there are processes and stages to beundertaken to achieve spontaneous delivery. Through which, Obstetricshave divided labor into four...

...that of any other animal- or vegetable-derived protein source in the U.S. To satisfy this demand, each year, the U.S. poultry industry raises nearly 9 billion broiler chickens” ("Banned Antibiotics”). In order to accomplish raising this many chickens the farmers have found it necessary to use antibiotic compounds containing arsenic. Arsenic is a medication that farmers put in the chicken feed to help chickens grow heavier at a much faster rate, help prevent diseases, and give support to tissue and vascular development. This will make the muscle of the chickens more appealing to the consumers (Greiff). Thus, they are produced in a much shorter time span. Critics of the use of growth promoters such as arsenicals point out disturbing side effects. For example: the chickens become extremely overweight. This reaches the point where their legs cannot even hold up their bodies. This causes them to fall over and eventually die. Some of the chickens that make it past the farms and into the grocery store can carry bacteria that can cause foodborne illnesses and can even cause cancer. Defenders of the use of the arsenic-containing antibiotics argue that with the use of these antibiotics, money can be saved not only by the company, but also for the consumers. The question becomes whether or not antibiotics containing arsenic should be used to produce chickens. Until about 1960, chicken production would just be something people would do in the backyard to provide food for their family...

Some of these are more adaptive than others, but all are used either consciously or unconsciously as protective devices for the ego in an effort to relieve mild to moderate anxiety. * Projection: Attributing feelings or impulses unacceptable to one’s self to another person. * Undoing:...

He is married with five children and has boyish dimples and a warm smile. In 2006, at the peak of his career, a male prostitute accused Haggard of having a three-year sexual affair with him and of using drugs. is accusation was alarming not only because Haggard was a married pastor, but also because he publicly supported a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. When the accusations were first broadcast on the news, Haggard confessed to church officials, saying, “Ninety-eight percent of what you know of me was the real me. Two percent of me would rise up, and I couldn’t overcome At the height of his career, it” (Haggard, 2006a). Then, in Ted Haggard, well-known pastor, a television news interview the confessed...
