We go to the doctor for all of our medical needs, but for a lot of women, the doctor doesn’t take care of the women. We can’t always imagine the kind of care that is available, or the kind of care that we want. I’ve spent some time volunteering as a community health educator in my hometown. My favorite part of the job is when I take the time to teach other women about all things health related.
In an effort to help women that might not know much about health care, a nurse from my local hospital is using her position to prepare a community health education program during pregnancy. It’s not a class in the way that I do it, but it’s a way for women to be able to talk to other women about the topics they’re most interested in.
There’s also an organization called Kids Health, which works so that women can go to the community health center for children and teach them about the issues they’re involved in.
This is a wonderful example of why hospitals are so important, and why we should strive to ensure that more than just health care is provided for our community. The problem is that I had a friend that was in the hospital and she was having her fourth child. I didnt know much about health care, but I could tell that she was really struggling with it.
Ive been watching her struggles, and I was really upset that she had to tell me she needed to go to the hospital for her baby’s birth. I was angry that I didnt know anything about the actual issues that were going on with her. I was also frustrated because I didnt know how to help her.
For me, the issue was the baby. The baby wasnt the issue. The baby wasnt even the reason why she needed to go to the hospital for her birth. The baby was the reason she needed to go to the hospital for her babys birth. Thats the problem with having a child. We dont have any control over that. We dont have any say in it. We dont have control. We dont have control. We dont even have a say in it.
The problem with child birth is that it is almost always complicated, and in fact most women are not comfortable with any kind of medical procedures. The fact that the nurse was going into a community clinic to be educated on the risks of a possible pregnancy and childbirth, and then be required to give birth to her baby, is a very disturbing thing. She seemed to have had no idea what was expected of her, and was very uninformed about what she was in for.
We know what happened here. Someone gave her a bad case of low blood sugar, and then told her to go back home so she could give birth to her baby. Unfortunately, that’s what we’ve been doing, and it’s been horrible. People don’t even have a say in it, and the nurses are being treated like they are the enemy. That’s what makes it so disturbing.
The first night I was in labor, I had to call my family to come pick me up, because I was having contractions. For many women, this is the only time they are in labor. Unfortunately, it is not the only time anyone is in labor. There are other moments when it is not the only time someone is in labor. The idea that it is just one time in a million when our bodies are trying to do what most people do is wrong.
I have to be in labor for nearly two weeks in this case because my family is not there to care for me at all.
