Smoking mother's

 The word "Mother" is synonymous with love, care, and everything good in the world. However, smoking mothers can be inadvertently killing and maiming their children born and unborn.  Shocked?  It is real. Smoking mothers are potentially gifting their children with lung cancer and many other similarly devastating diseases through second hand smoke.  Pregnant women harm their unborn babies directly in the womb.

 In addition to the ominous facts presented above, the following are additional unsettling considerations when smoking. Not only will it harm your health, but it will also harm the health of your unborn child: 1.  First and foremost, smoking makes it difficult to conceive. Reports show that fertility in both men and women are heavily affected by smoking.  Smoking reduces sperm motility and semen count in men, while it hinders egg movement toward the fallopian tubes in women and affects hormone production during pregnancy. In many cases smoking also affects the shape of the sperm making it incapable of penetrating the egg.

 2.  A low fertility syndrome and a significant number of infertility issues may be passed on to children of smoker parents. 3.  Smoking in many cases is the main cause for impotency in men as it interferes with the blood supply to the penis.

 4.  Because the baby's blood absorbs the nicotine that the mother's blood shares with it before birth, a pregnant woman who smokes increases the likelihood that her baby will become a smoker and contract all diseases linked to smoking. 5.  In rare instances, smoking directly affects the placenta, resulting in the foetus's miscarriage or womb death. 6.  Babies of smoking mothers will be most likely to be born premature and under weight.

 7.  Babies are also likely to have less developed vital organs than their counterparts (babies of non-smoking mothers) there is a great likelihood that these babies have an undeveloped liver which will affect them throughout their lives.

 8.  The babies of pregnant smoking women have poor lung functions right from birth.

 9.  These babies are twice as prone to die from sudden-infant-death (SID) syndrome than the babies of non-smoking women.

 10.  Women who smoked between 15 and 20 cigarettes per day had more sickly babies. Any one of the above causes should be sufficient enough to make you quit smoking if not for yourself, for your little miracle that is being formed in your womb.  Read the above lines again, and then once more is that what you want to give to your most precious creation?  Would it really make you feel good to think that you deliberately and consistently harm your child before they are born? You should give some serious thought to these questions. Get in touch with your doctor today and enlist his/her help to quitting smoking.  You owe it to your child to be healthy and give them a healthy beginning to the start of their life.  As a mother, you are the nurturing contact of the child do not become the poison in your own childs life.

Common Knowledge Trust

 The Pink Kit Method for birthing better goes well with chiropractic care.  For ICPA, Common Knowledge Trust asked Executive Coordinator Jeanne Ohm to write articles on The Pink Kit Method for better birthing. Jeanne replied that the ICPA is concerned about all aspects of childbirth, including 1) a woman's right to choose, 2) the significance of her being aware of her options, and 3) the physiological relationship between the pelvis and birth. For Common Knowledge Trust the goals are slightly different, yet heading toward the same alignment more positive births and a decrease in birth trauma for us, the mother and our children.  CKTs goals would sound like this 1) Absolutely all of us, as expectant parents, must have both labour management and coaching skills 2) These skills must work for us in absolutely all birth situations.  3) Because we all have the same body, The Pink Kit Method can help us better prepare for this one-of-a-kind exercise in giving birth. CKT is ...

We have to educate teen under 20

 Since the early 1990s, teen pregnancies across America declined dramatically. However, 34% of teenage girls in the United States still become pregnant before they reach the age of 20. This means that America has one of the highest teen pregnancy rates in the world. As does England; in which one in every five births in the country is from a teenager. These are shocking statistics and adults and teenagers alike should be active in teen pregnancy prevention. Talking about sex and pregnancy When a child reaches the age of about 13, parents should be active in approaching their child about their thoughts and ideas of sex and the possible consequences of the act. It may be embarrassing at first for both parties, but it will pay off in the long run because education and knowledge are the most effective means of preventing teen pregnancy. Talk to your child about the sexually transmitted diseases and the risk of pregnancy as well as pregnancy prevent methods such as abstinence and contrac...

  Understanding Pregnancy: Complications, Childbirth Choices, Birth Control History, and Pregnancy Massage Benefits Pregnancy is a transformative and joyful experience for many women, but it can also be filled with uncertainty—especially for first-time mothers.

Molar Pregnancy: A Hidden Risk A molar pregnancy is a rare but serious complication, occurring in about 1 in every 1,000 pregnancies in the U.S. It results from abnormal fertilization of an egg. Complete molar pregnancy : Happens when a sperm fertilizes an empty egg. Although no fetus develops, the placenta continues to grow, and the hormone hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) is still produced, mimicking signs of a normal pregnancy. Partial molar pregnancy : Occurs when two sperms fertilize one egg, creating an abnormal emb...
