UK, and a member of the British Homeopathic Association (BHA). She explains that during the first few weeks of pregnancy, the woman expects to feel "nausea or sickness," sometimes women actually vomit. To help the woman with the nausea, Worden suggests taking "Cocculus indica" (made from the cockle flower), three times daily (the dosage is 30c). And if the nausea is more serious in the morning ("morning sickness"), and taking small amounts of food makes the women ill, Worden recommends "Nux vomica" (same dose as Coddulus indica), and "Sepia" which can prevent ongoing sickness (Worden, 2011).
The Homeopathy Center (HC) recommends Nux Vomica as well, especially when the pregnant… Continue Reading...

2. Infertility. It is not uncommon in the U.S. today to remain "childless by choice." But people who want biological children and have been unable to conceive can feel as if the choice was not theirs to make. Although the causes of infertility are not fully… Continue Reading...
having children would seem to be even worse. Beyond that, having a multiple-birth pregnancy (e.g. twins) after the age of 40 is a huge risk. Of course, most women do not strive for multiple births in the same pregnancy. However, in vitro and other fertility treatments and methods are often done with a little excess so as to ensure a higher success rate. As such, it is not the least bit uncommon for multiple births to occur as a result. If and when that does happen, the perinatal risks that are involved are hard to miss or avoid. This is true even in… Continue Reading...
Abstract
Abortion refers to the termination of the pregnancy and most members of society tend to feel strongly and often myopically about their opinions of abortion.

This essay will take a long look at the reasons that motivate those who support abortion and those who do not. It is hoped that this deep analysis will not only strengthen one’s ability to think critically, but allow compassion and common understanding to thrive… Continue Reading...
implications for the future of abortion are presented in the conclusion.
Definition:
Abortion is the termination of a human pregnancy, resulting in the death of an embryo or fetus. This highly controversial procedure is normally done within the first 28 weeks of pregnancy. The termination of the pregnancy is either done with the assistance of a pill orsurgery.
Introduction: [3]
Perhaps no other issue evokes such powerful emotion-filled responses on both sides of an argument than legal abortion in the United States today. Even otherwise progressive thinkers who publicly support a womans freedom of choice concerning whether to abort or not may hold sharply opposing views when their own… Continue Reading...

According to the British Pregnancy Advisory Service, an abortion refers to the termination of a pregnancy so that it avoids the birth of a child. Abortion is one of the most intense and hot-blooded topic in society today, provoking a host of opinions, contentions and fierce dogma. It’s definitely thought provoking to determine when and how abortion became so contentious, as for much of American history it really was considered to be a standard aspect of life (Reagan, 1996). In fact, for much of America’s existence the procedure was legal and used frequently. In… Continue Reading...

Jason Reitman's 2007 film Juno addresses a difficult and potentially controversial topic: unwanted pregnancy and the challenges of deciding whether to terminate the pregnancy or carry it to term. Braha and Bryne describe Juno as a "comedy-drama," but it is also a young adult film because its protagonist is a teenager and because it frankly addresses coming-of-age issues linked to uniquely adolescent sexuality and gender identity. The film focuses on titular character Juno MacGuff (Ellen Page) and her decision to carry the pregnancy to term and give up the baby for adoption. Focusing on Juno empowers the protagonist and shows that Reitman deliberately… Continue Reading...

Thesis: Prenatal genetic screening has grown in popularity as a choice for pregnant women in the United States. However, such procedure must only be used for high-risk pregnancies and for those with inherited genetic disorders due to the inaccuracy of both non-invasive and invasive procedures producing a greater risk of pregnancy complications and pre-term labor.
Prenatal genetic testing may not be as accurate as desired and can elevate the risk of preterm labor (Cook-Deegan, Conley, Evans, & Vorhaus, 2012).
Prenatal genetic testing allows the expectant mother to see if… Continue Reading...
death. It also deals with the matter of personal rights. Does a woman have the right to terminate a pregnancy? Or does abortion contradict ethics and moral standards that govern society and human beings? The conflict at the heart of the abortion argument is one of rights vs. ethics. On the one hand, those who support for abortion rights say that a woman has the right to choose. On the other hand, those who do not support abortion rights, say that the woman has a duty to carry the child to term because of an ethical and moral obligation. This paper will show how according to ethical and moral… Continue Reading...
History and Background
Both from medical and legal perspectives the term abortion refers to different procedures used to voluntarily terminate a pregnancy (“Abortion Law and Legal Definition,” 2018, p. 1). Abortions can be medical or clinical. Medical abortions utilize pharmaceutical methods to terminate the pregnancy; a clinical abortion involves the use of specialized tools and procedures such as suction devices to terminate the pregnancy. The vast majority (more than 91%) of abortions are performed before the 13th week of gestation (“Abortion Fast Facts,” 2018). There has been some additional controversy over late-term and “partial birth” abortions (“Historical Attitudes To Abortion,” n.d., p. 1).
As long as women have been getting pregnant,… Continue Reading...
the actual future of a fetus determines whether or not a pregnancy should be aborted. The principle points to two kinds of early fetuses. In the postulation, early fetuses that die early go through their entire existence without properties that confer moral status on them. However, an early fetus that is bound to grow into a person is different. Such a fetus will in time have the complete moral status of a human being. That is a good reason to think that even now, it has moral status to some extent (Harman, 1999).
AFP says that early fetuses have their moral… Continue Reading...
is of importance that the possibility of gastrointestinal malabsorption, pancreatic disease, nephrotic syndrome, heart disease, liver disease, absorption interference of other drugs or pregnancy (Wilder, Bravenboar, Herremans, Vanderbruggen, & Velkeniers, 2017). T3 and T4 are secreted from the thyroid gland. While T4 is exclusively produced in the thyroid glands, T3 is secreted from the deiodination in extrathyroidal T4 tissue. The deficiency of T3 is responsible for the biochemical and clinical showing of hypothyroidism. Consequently, a basic function such as the consumption of oxygen by the mitochondria and the calorigenesis is delayed. The reduction in the metabolism of energy and the production of heat is manifest in the low rate of basal metabolism, reduced… Continue Reading...

The term 'abortion' is used to denote a practice of purposeful pregnancy termination to ensure a child isn't born. This social issue revolves around the aspect of personhood. Almost everybody is of the view that every individual has his/her own unique moral status; hence, depriving any individual of his/her life, except in some extreme situations, is a grave sin. A pro-lifer contends that this principle is applicable to abortion as well, since a fetus is, in essence, a person (thus the word "pro-life"). Meanwhile, a majority of pro-choicers contend that it is only at an advanced developmental stage (i.e., during birth… Continue Reading...
to IHS facilities (ACOG, 2012). The outcomes for this community in urban areas tend to be poor – higher rates of teenaged pregnancy, late or no prenatal care, alcohol and tobacco use during pregnancy, higher infant mortality, higher SIDS and higher preterm birth. These outcomes are the result of a lack of access to care for urban Native American women (ACOG, 2012).
One of the issues facing underserved communities in general is that there are a lack of trained physicians for such communities. This means that majority ethnicity physicians ultimately end up playing an important role in care delivery, but also points to a… Continue Reading...

In this context, though, the concept of “safe” depends on who is being asked. Indeed, Joachim (2007) points out that in some countries that received the Dalkon Shield, “Women were reported to have suffered from anemia and infections, pelvic inflammatory diseases, unintended sterilization, and tubal pregnancies, and even to have died” (p. 138). It is reasonable to posit that the Dalkon Shield may have prevented some deaths during childbearing, but it is also clear that there was a corresponding trade-off in the safety of the women who… Continue Reading...
for these changes are rooted in the wider sociological acceptance of birth control to prevent pregnancy and the Feminist movement, which has altered the traditional family dynamic by promoting the woman’s role outside the confines of the domestic sphere with leading feminists like Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem urging women to get into the workforce in the 1960s and 1970s. This has led to the old idea of “courtship” being replaced by the new idea of “hooking up,” which further undermines the traditional concept of family life (Hamilton & Armstrong, 2019).

factor in thyroid disease as women tend to be diagnosed with this disease more frequently than men, particularly after a pregnancy or following menopause, when their bodies are going through an adjustment process that will impact their hormone production levels.
Types of Drugs to Treat Thyroid Disease
Levothroid and Synthroid are two types of drugs that are commonly used to treat thyroid disease. They put hormone levels back at where they normally should be and help to eliminate the symptoms experienced by the patient after 1-2 weeks in most cases where they are used. These drugs are sa ynthetic thyroid hormone called levothyroxine.
