My Takeaway for module 10: Labor and birth

# data[].attributes.body
In this module I learned that there are 4 factors to a successful labor and these are the passage, the passenger, the powers of labor and a woman’s psyche, so if you want to have a successful and easy labor you have to follow these components in order to achieve it. I also never knew that the delivery of the placenta is up to 1-4 hours which is surprisingly long for me because I thought it would just take up to an hour. I also noticed that this module mostly focuses on the during labor like the positions of the baby when it goes out. It is mostly about the passenger because of course we want the baby to be healthy and safe when the baby goes out. I think one of the important parts in this module is the mechanisms of labor because this tells the position of the baby when it is in a process from engagement until birth and when the head is passing under the symphysis pubis. So, the fetal positioning is really important because it can risk the life of the fetus and the mother because there is a possibility for suffocation or dislocation when giving birth to the fetus.

I learned that we should take care the pregnant women before and after labor so that the child and the mother wont have any health risks. The infant mortality rates in the Philippines remains unchanged, so we should be able to change that by having a better health care service.

I learned that girls experience growth spurt earlier than boys at the age of 10. But boys growth spurt starts at the age of 12 and that is when their muscles start to develop and they become taller than the girls. Menarche is the start of the menstruation of the girl. The follicular phase is where in the production of estrogen happens and the sloughing off the uterine lining.

I learned that there are a lot of presumptive changes in pregnancy. We never know if it is a symptom to an other disease that is why we should always get it checked by the doctor to know if we have any other diseases while pregnant. There is also this thing called cryptic pregnancy where in you don't know when you are pregnant or not until the last week. That really caught my attention because you can never know when you can be pregnant. There are also 3 ways to determine if you are pregnant or not. Presumptive is highly subjective which means the women is the one who observed it. Probable means that it can be documented by a health care provider. Positive is signs confirmed by an instrument.

I learned that when you are pregnant you have to avoid x-rays because the radiation can do harm to the fetus, unless you wear a lead apron. I also learned that you cannot be administered live virus vaccines while you are pregnant because it can transmit viral infection to the fetus so the live viruses are like measles and mumps. I never knew that marijuana and inhalants can actually harm the fetus. Women should also avoid wearing garters and stocking while pregnant because it can disrupt the circulation.I was also surprised that coitus does not harm the child because I thought that coitus is bad for the child and that it can lead to early labor.
