Internal fetal monitoring is accomplished with a fetal scalp electrode that is a direct electrocardiogram of the FHR and therefore produces the most accurate FHR tracing having an advantage over the external monitoring. The FSE is attached to the fetus during a vaginal exam and then connected to a fetal monitor. Because the risk of transmission to the fetus is increased by the small puncture in the fetal scalp, use of internal scalp electrodes should be avoided if at all possible in the presence of known maternal infections such as HIV, hepatitis or GBS. Fetal scalp monitors are also avoided in preterm infants because of the increased risk of ventricular hemorrhage.…

Gaby Rodriguez’s The Pregnancy Project is a memoir that focuses on the high rate of unexpected teen pregnancies in low income, poverty-ridden areas. Rodriguez’s personal experiences with teen pregnancies through her family inspired her to encourage a change. Her mother and her siblings each became a teen parent, and Rodriguez became a witness to the hardships and struggles faced when teens experience an unintended pregnancy, and struggle to financially support their child(ren), often due to being unable to continue their education. Rodriguez, although many - including her siblings - believe she will make the same mistakes as her family, does not want to be seen as “... just another pregnant teen statistic with no future”…

In Plane’s essay, “Childbirth Practices Among Native American Women of New England and Canada, 1600-1800,” the author describes the Euro-American’s views of Native American childbirth and illustrates that people’s experience with reproduction is shaped by their own cultural values and previous knowledge. For Euro-American women, this probably involved similar emotions and events as to what we see today- pain, nervousness, excitement, and celebration. But for Native American women, this experience was anything but a spectacle.…
