READING : Introduction To Midwifery

INTRODUCTION TO MIDWIFERY

The simplest definition of midwifery is “with woman”, but truly, midwifery means different things to different people. For many, the midwifery model is an attitude about woman and how pregnancy and birth occur, and view that pregnancy and birth are normal events until proven otherwise. It is an attitude of giving and sharing information, of empowerment, and of respecting the right of a woman and her family to determine their own care.
The attitude of midwifery, or the midwifery model can be contrasted with the medical model. In general, Medical Model is an attitude that there is potential pathology in any given situation, and that medicine can assist to improve the situation. Medicine is also about teaching, informing, and prevention, but the power seems to be more with the provider rather than with the woman.
Historically, midwifes have always been around to help woman give birth. Before physicians, midwifes were the primary healers in their communities. They were the medicine women of their own cultures, and assisted families and woman throughout their lives. In the old testament they were described as examples of the strength and faith in God.
Midwifes were once the nutritionists, herbalists, doctors, ministers, counselors, all rolled in to one ‘profession. Many feel they were the first holistic practitioners. Midwifes were always available to help the poor, the woman without medical care or the woman who  were the outcasts of their culture. Today, midwives take care of anyone who wishes to see them, but practice within the constraints of their medical and legal systems.
Today midwives are as diverse as the populations they serve. Midwives are willing to take care of anyone who wishes to see them. Over 70% of birth in the world are attended by midwives. In the Netherlands, midwives deliver a majority of the babies. Other countries do not utilize midwives to their fullest potential. Each country worldwide has a slightly different view of midwifery, and of how midwives work within their communities. In sci.med.midwifery, midwives will speak from these various perspectives and cultures. Midwives are encouraged to share their statistics and work situations within this newsgroup.
The World Health Organization (WHO) presents us with the following definition of the midwife: A midwife is a person who having been regularly admitted to a midwifery educational program, duly recognized in the country in which it is located, has successfully completed the pescribed course of studies in midwifery and has acquired the requisite qualifications to be registered and/or legally licensed to practice midwifery. (WHO, FIGO, ICM statement) Midwives teach, educate and empower woman to take control of their own health care. In most communities, they provide prenatal care, or supervision of the pregnancy, and then assist the mother to give birth. They manage the birth, and guard the woman and her newborn in the postpartum period.
Most midwives encourage and monitor women throughout their labor with techniques to improve the labor and birth. Reassurance, positive imaging and suggestions to change position and walk helps labors progress. Many midwives provide family planning services and routine women’s health examinations such as pap smears and physical examinations. They teach women about sexually transmitted infections, and focus on prevention of the spread of infections. What specifically midwifes do will depend on: her training, her licensure, and what is allowed in the state, province, or country in which she practices. For example, in the united states some midwives can prescribe medications, provide women’s health care throughout the menopause years. Midwives worldwide births in the home, hospital or birthing center, depending upon their education and licensure, and the rules governing their practices.
Midwives believe it is especially important to provide time for questions, teaching, and time to listen to the concerns and needs of the women they care for. The WHO definition of the midwife gives us the following guidelines about what midwives do: She must be able to give the necessary supervision, care, and advice to women during pregnancy, labour and the postpartum period, to conduct deliveries on her own responsibility and to care for the newborn and the infant. This care includes preventative measures, the detection of abnormal conditions in mother and child, the procurement of medical assistance and the execution of emergency measures in the absence of medical help. She has an important task in health counseling and education, not only for the woman, but also within the family and the community. The work should involve antenatal education and preparation for parenthood and extends to certain areas of gynecology, family planning and child care. She may practice in the hospitals, clinics, health units, domiciliary conditions of in any other services. (WHO,FIGO, ICM Statement).

THE BENEFIT OF MIDWIFERY

Midwifery benefits pregnant women in several ways. Midwives encourage women to actively participate in health care decision. They teach women how to best care for themselves trough proper nutrition and exercise, giving women greater control over their pregnancies and birth experiences. Many women find this level of participation satisfying.
Although most midwife-attended births take a place in hospitals, midwives may also less in clinical setting such as home or homelike, out-of-hospital birth center. This nonthreatening, comfortable atmosphere often helps a woman in labor feel more at ease and more in control of the birth process. In general midwives do not use invasive technology like obstetrical forceps in providing care during labor and birth. Minimizing the used of costly and sometimes painful medical tests and treatments appeals to many women.

The midwife carefully monitors the mother’s blood pressure, pulse rate and dehydration levels, and the unborn child’s heart rate.

SPEAKING : Pregnancy

PREGNANCY

Pregnancy is the fertilization and development of one or more offspring, known as an embryo or fetus, in a woman's uterus. In a pregnancy, there can be multiple gestations, as in the case of twins or triplets. Childbirth usually occurs about 38 weeks after conception; in women who have a menstrual cycle length of four weeks, this is approximately 40 weeks from the start of the last normal menstrual period (LNMP). Human pregnancy is the most studied of all mammalian pregnancies.
The term embryo is used to describe the developing offspring during the first 8 weeks following conception, and subsequently the term fetus is used henceforth until birth. 40% of pregnancies in the United States and United Kingdom are unplanned.
In many societies’ medical or legal definitions, human pregnancy is somewhat arbitrarily divided into three trimester periods, as a means to simplify reference to the different stages of prenatal development. The first trimester carries the highest risk of miscarriage (natural death of embryo or fetus). During the second trimester, the development of the fetus can be more easily monitored and diagnosed. The beginning of the third trimester often approximates the point of viability, or the ability of the fetus to survive, with or without medical help, outside of the uterus.

READING : Childbirth

CHILDBIRTH

Childbirth is the process whereby an infant is born. It is considered to be the beginning of the infant's life, and age is defined relative to this event in most cultures.
A woman is considered to be in labour when she begins experiencing regular uterine contractions, accompanied by changes of her cervix – primarily effacement and dilation. While childbirth is widely experienced as painful, some women do report painless labours, while others find that concentrating on the birth helps to quicken labour and lessen the sensations. Most births are successful vaginal births, but sometimes complications arise and a woman may undergo a cesarean section.
During the time immediately after birth, both the mother and the baby are hormonally cued to bond, the mother through the release of oxytocin, a hormone also released during breastfeeding. Studies show that skin-to-skin contact between a mother and her newborn immediately after birth is beneficial for both mother and baby. A review done by the World Health Organization found that skin-to-skin contact between mothers and babies after birth reduces crying, improves mother-infant interaction, and helps mothers to breastfeed successfully. They recommend that neonates be allowed to bond with the mother during their first two hours after birth, the period that they tend to be more alert than in the following hours of early life.
