Research Paper On Being Pregnant
The section that really interested me was the Prescription and Nonprescription Drugs. Being pregnant, I have the decision if whether or not I want to do natural birth or prepared birth. I have been reading the good and bad about doing it. Something as simple as that and people nowadays have no problem drinking, smoking, and taking hard drugs while pregnant. Knowing that there is a precious life relying on you and your body why would you not take care of yourself. Now I am not dissing on people that have done that in the past but it is just people should really think. My mom drank and smoked when I was in the womb and I was diagnosed with fetal alcohol syndrome when I was younger. It has been a struggle to overcome all the obstacles.

    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”…

    Premarin Research Paper

    You may begin by asking “what is Premarin?” This is a female hormone replacement drug taken by menopausal women (women that have reached the age where their menstrual period ends) to help alleviate symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes and vaginal dryness (Pfizer). It is a vaginal estrogen medication that can be substituted by a plant-based drug rather than this horrific drug. Now you may be thinking that this may actually be a good drug. Well, there is a dark side to this drug that the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) and popular drug company Pfizer, doesn’t want women to know about. One of those things is the fact that the name Premarin, actually stands for Pregnant Mares Urine. Women are really ingesting horse’s urine. The goal of…

    “Why do people give into stereotypes other people give them? Why would you ever let someone else's negative thoughts dictate how you’re going to live your life?”(Rodriguez 143) A memoir called The Pregnancy Project is an inside look in daily life of Gaby Rodriguez faking her pregnancy for a school project. The novel is full of heartbreak, some humor, break-downs, and especially drama. The memoir has a good insight and it contains many details in the beginning but it seems like she just gave up with details near the end. Even though the book lacks detail, I recommend this book to teen girls that are in high school or even college because it is very inspiring.…

    Traditionally, childbirth has emphasized the joy of bringing a new life into the world. However, with the McDonaldization of healthcare, childbirth seems to be more about standardization over nature. Hospitals have begun to copy procedural ideas of major corporations and childbirth has begun to be centred on efficiency, predictability and control.…

    Planned Parenthood, as an organization, has to be seen in everyone’s eyes that it performs wicked and dishonorable murders because their acts are truly unjust and immoral no matter what aspect is deciphered. Planned Parenthood’s goal, in their point of view, is to preserve women’s rights including the power of their bodies. Since the establishment of the organization, Margaret Sanger wanted the extermination of infants because of her own personal experiences. The leaders of Planned Parenthood are very strong and powerful people who cannot be persuaded to change their way of thinking easily which also makes Planned Parenthood seem indestructible. The enemy of Planned Parenthood would…

    Being Born

    The most eye-opening statistic to me is that our country spends three times as much money on births, yet we aren’t receiving better outcomes than other countries that perform births much differently. (“Business of Being Born, 2008”) In this industry a lot of mothers don’t know enough about the different types of births. I think the best options for individuals are whatever that family decides that it is. I don’t think Dr.’s or midwifes should persuade either way. The lack of knowledge is what needs to be addressed in the nation, I think more information needs to be explained to mothers that are just finding out about being pregnant, and so they can make their own decisions early…
