			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Do you know <span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">early stages of pregnancy</span>?</span> Knowing <span style="color: #000000;">Early  stages of pregnancy</span> is important for women who start to get pregnant or women who have planning to get pregnant after married. Pregnancy is one of the most exciting and anxious times in a woman’s life.  She contends with alternating feelings of joy and feelings of fear.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In my experience, I bought many book about pregnancy, because I don&#8217;t know everything about pregnancy first. I feel worried in my <span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="font-style: italic;">early stages of pregnancy</span>.</span> Now I have nice children and I understand that knowing e<span style="color: #000000;">arly stages of pregnancy</span> is very important for pregnant woman, so that she will enjoy her pregnancy week by week until childbirth.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The <span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">early stages of pregnancy</span></span> can be a confusing time for pregnant women.  A couple may be excited about the news of the pregnancy; they may also be confused or concerned, for any number of reasons.  They may be far from family and friends and the support system that comes from a familiar environment. The couple may have very different viewpoints about the pregnancy.  If at all possible, it is during the <span style="color: #000000;">early stages of pregnancy</span> that the couple should discuss these issues.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">During her pregnancy, the woman will encounter several changes to her body and her emotions too. Her emotions will not stabil like before. Now she feel happy and a few minutes more she feel angry, this condition is common happen for her. So her husband must understand about this.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">She may have health problems that will complicate a pregnancy.  While the pregnancy won’t be the same for her partner, a woman may expect her partner to help her during the process. During the <span style="color: #000000;">early stages of pregnancy,</span> it is a good idea if the couple learns what they can about the pregnancy.  What will happen in the first stages of the pregnancy?  Will anything stay the same throughout the pregnancy?  Will the woman be interested in sex?  Both the woman and her partner should think about the things that concern them most and be honest with each other about these issues.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Once the issues are identified, they can research and see what information they can find to answer their questions.  They may both want to visit the woman’s physician together several times so they can get information.  The physician can be a valuable source of information and both the woman and her partner should feel comfortable with the doctor.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The couple should make extra effort to communicate during the<span style="color: #000000;"> early stages of pregnancy</span>.  They should be happy about the pregnancy and comfortable talking about any and all issues related to it.  If one of them feels uncomfortable discussing anything, the other partner may not understand and this can cause problems that may magnify as the pregnancy progresses.  If the couple can improve and refine their communication skills during the <span style="color: #000000;">early stages of pregnancy,</span> they will find that the last stages will be smoother for everyone.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The <span style="color: #000000;">early stages of pregnancy</span> are a good time to start discussing child care issues.  This might seem odd, but if the couple starts looking at how other children behave, they can then discuss their own feelings about how to raise children.  If they disagree, it may be helpful if they can establish guidelines for managing disagreements.  Though these sound like simple issues, it isn’t advisable for a couple to wait to talk to each other about any issue related to the pregnancy or child rearing.  Time goes quickly.  If the couple doesn’t start talking during the <span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="color: #000000;">early stages of pregnancy, </span></span>they may find that they won’t have a lot of time later to discuss the topics that are important to them.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Don&#8217;t be afraid, just enjoy your pregnancy, be relax, make a good communication with your partner, and you will think that everything in your <span style="color: #0000ff;">early stages of pregnancy</span> is okay. You will enjoy this amazing moment day after day.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1 style="text-align: center;"><a name="_Toc153781937"></a><span style="font-size: 12pt; color: purple; text-decoration: none;" lang="EN-US">TYPES OF CHILDBIRTH</span></h1>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">You should be aware of the types of <span style="color: blue;">childbirth</span> that you should consider before going into <span style="color: blue;">labour</span>. What types of childbirth that you choose, <span style="color: blue;">natural childbirth</span>, <span style="color: blue;">caesarean section </span>or the others?</p>
<h2><a name="_Toc153781938"></a><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #339966; font-style: normal;">Natural Childbirth</span></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: blue;">Natural childbirth</span> refers to childbirth without the use of medications that could ease the pain associated with the birthing process. Some people fear that these medications will be passed on to the child during labour. While some of their fears are legitimate, many women take some medication during <span style="color: blue;">labour</span> and have healthy babies.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you are planning on a <span style="color: blue;">natural childbirth</span>, there are ways to prepare in advance that will make the process a little easier when the time comes:</p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">Educate yourself about the pros/cons of <span style="color: blue;">natural childbirth</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Attend ‘<span style="color: blue;">natural childbirth’</span> birthing classes</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Tell your care provider that you would like a <span style="color: blue;">natural childbirth</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Find a coach that will be with you throughout the birth</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Understand that there may be times when you will need medication</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Prepare yourself physically by exercising</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Understand that there will be pain involved<strong></strong></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Many other people will not be supportive of your decision, but you need to do what is best for you and your baby<strong></strong></li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: blue;">Natural childbirth</span> can be a wonderful way for you to connect with your baby. You can have a <span style="color: blue;">natural childbirth</span> in a hospital or birthing center. Just make sure you have someone who will help you when you are in pain. This will make the process a little easier.</p>
<p><span id="more-22"></span></p>
<h2><a name="_Toc153781939"></a><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #339966; font-style: normal;">Epidural Childbirth</span></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">An <span style="color: blue;">epidural</span> is a shot of medication that will help educe the amount of pain that you will feel during <span style="color: blue;">labour</span>. But getting an <span style="color: blue;">epidural</span> is not a painless process.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">At a certain point during labour, you will be given the option to have an <span style="color: blue;">epidural.</span> You are under no obligation to have the epidural as there are other ways to cope with <span style="color: blue;">childbirth. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">But if you want an <span style="color: blue;">epidural,</span> you will have to endure two needles. One will numb an area on your spine, and the other will contain the medication.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: blue;">Epidurals</span> can cause your legs to become numb during and after the delivery of your baby.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: blue;">Epidurals</span> may affect your baby by causing your blood pressure to drop, repositioning of the baby during labour, which will increase your risks of having to have a cesarean birth.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">There may be reasons why you cannot have an <span style="color: blue;">epidural</span> during <span style="color: blue;">labour</span>. These reasons include:</p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;"><span style="color: windowtext;">There is no anaesthesiologist available while you are in </span>labour</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">You are on other medications</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Your blood work shows low platelet count</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">You have a back infection</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">You are experiencing heavy bleeding</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">There may be labour restrictions</li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">For the most part, you may be able to have an <span style="color: blue;">epidural </span>that will help ease the pain of <span style="color: blue;">childbirth.</span></p>
<h2><a name="_Toc153781940"></a><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #339966; font-style: normal;">Cesarean Section</span></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Up to 27% of all births are done through <span style="color: blue;">cesarean section</span>. This is when the baby is taken from the mother by cutting into her stomach and removing the baby. <span style="color: blue;">Cesarean sections </span>are done when the mother is past her due date, if the baby is turned the wrong way, if the vaginal canal is not fully dilated, or if a vaginal birth will pose a risk to the mother.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">You will have to stay in the hospital for a few days in order to heal from the surgery. You will have stitches and soreness after the birth of your baby. The success rate for <span style="color: blue;">cesarean sections</span> is very high and not uncommon.</p>
<h2><a name="_Toc153781941"></a><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #339966; font-style: normal;">Vaginal Birth</span></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">A <span style="color: blue;">vaginal birth</span> is considered <span style="color: blue;">natural childbirth</span> and is how most babies are born. Having a successful <span style="color: blue;">vaginal birth</span> will be easier if you take child birthing classes so that you will learn how to push and relax your muscles so that you will be in the least amount of pain possible.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;" align="center"><strong><span style="color: #993366;">CHILDBIRTH CLASSES</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">In the <span style="color: blue;">third trimester</span> of <span style="color: blue;">pregnancy stages</span>, many <span style="color: blue;">pregnant women</span> want to prepare themselves for the birth of their baby. The <span style="color: blue;">childbirth</span> classes sometimes needed for you to prepare <span style="color: blue;">childbirth</span> and <span style="color: blue;">breastfeeding.</span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US"> Taking <span style="color: blue;">childbirth</span> classes is a good way to:</span></p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">Learn how to breathe during labor</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">How to control your contractions</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">How to use your pelvic muscles during labor</span></li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US"> Before join the classes, looking first the condition in this <span style="color: blue;">childbirth</span> classes and you should ask about the following:</span></p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">Types of breathing exercise and other exercises will be taught</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">How many people attend classes</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">Length of classes</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">What you will need to bring with you to class</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">If you can sit on a class before attending</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">If you can bring more than one person to the class</span></li>

<li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">The sponsor of these classes</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">What is the cost for classes</span></li>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The more questions you can ask, the more comfortable you will feel when attending classes. If, after starting a class, you do not feel comfortable, then you should find another class. Child birthing classes are supposed to prepare you for when you go into <span style="color: blue;">labour</span>. These classes should also include ways to breathe, relax your body, and teach you about medications that are offered at hospitals that will make<span style="color: blue;"> labour</span> less painful.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Child birthing classes should only last a few weeks.</p>
