Fifteen Percent Pregnant by Tony Hardy Pdf

Tony Hardy is 43 and trying to become a dad for the first time. He is typical of those self-absorbed 40-somethings who live in the cashed-up inner suburbs. Delaying fatherhood wasn't a conscious act for Tony. Neither was getting older.When his girlfriend miscarries twice in five months, he is forced to grow up. They commit to IVF and Tony is forced to reflect on his non-existent relationship with his father and whether he truly wants to be a dad. He is stuck. He is a man in the foetal position hoping to make a foetus.Fifteen Percent Pregnant is an honest, confronting and funny book about a man's reflections on all things, while watching the girl he loves be pushed, prodded and hypnotised through IVF. Tony critiques childhood, sex, career, tarot cards, a women's pain tolerance versus his own, pregnancy, money, funerals and true love.

Risking the Future by Panel on Adolescent Pregnancy and Childbearing,National Research Council,Cheryl D. Hayes Pdf

Abstract: This book presents the findings, conclusions, and recommendations of the Committee on Child Development Research and Public Policy within the National Research Council. The panel examined research and existing programs which address the areas of adolescent sexuality, pregnancy, and childbearing with the intent of making recommendations for policy making, program design, program evaluation, and research. The panel's report is presented in chapters addressing the following topics: trends in adolescent sexuality and fertility, society and changing roles of adolescents, determinants of sexual behavior, effects of adolescent childbearing, interventions, and priorities for data collection, research, policies, and programs. An accompanying volume contains the working papers on which the report was based. The working papers address three broad areas, which are: 1) influences on early sexual and fertility behavior, 2) consequences of early sexual and fertility behavior, and 3) programs and policies related to teen pregnancy and sexuality.

Birth Settings in America by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine,Health and Medicine Division,Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education,Board on Children, Youth, and Families,Committee on Assessing Health Outcomes by Birth Settings Pdf

The delivery of high quality and equitable care for both mothers and newborns is complex and requires efforts across many sectors. The United States spends more on childbirth than any other country in the world, yet outcomes are worse than other high-resource countries, and even worse for Black and Native American women. There are a variety of factors that influence childbirth, including social determinants such as income, educational levels, access to care, financing, transportation, structural racism and geographic variability in birth settings. It is important to reevaluate the United States' approach to maternal and newborn care through the lens of these factors across multiple disciplines. Birth Settings in America: Outcomes, Quality, Access, and Choice reviews and evaluates maternal and newborn care in the United States, the epidemiology of social and clinical risks in pregnancy and childbirth, birth settings research, and access to and choice of birth settings.
