Differences and Similarties Between Delivery Process

                                                       Differences

  • Birth taken place in a medical facility 
  • Birth directed by a medical trained professional 
  • Under the doctor's care during pregnancy 
  • Hospital was equipped with proper resources to help if a problem occurred. 
  • Equipment to monitor baby and mother's progress throughout delivery. 
  • Support throughout pregnancy and delivery
                                                      Similarities 

  • Mother's concern for a safe delivery
  • No medication was used for delivery 
The impact of the birthing experience on development is crucial. Many times we don't recognize our blessing, having a safe, secure and equip environment to deliver our children in. The circumstances in which we have our children in can and will have an effect on their future development. If , the proper precautions don't take place and the professionals are not knowledgeable about alternate ways of safe delivery complications can occur. These complications can have a developmental effect on our children. Some of the developmental effects from labor and delivery are cerebral palsy, delayed speech, sensory impairment, brain damage, physical disabilities, hearing impairments, motor delays and blindness all of which can persist beyond early childhood. This assignment has definitely opened my eyes and mind to be more knowledgeable about how developmental problems may occur in children.

  1. This assignments has open my eyes as well. I love what you said about women needing the proper care in order to have a healthy baby at birth and through out life. There are many women here in the U.S. that don't get the proper care they need. I believe its up to us to educate them and let them know the importance of having a healthy pregnancy.

    1. You are absoutly right, it is up to us to help educate mothers about the importance of having a healthy pregnancy. Having a healthy pregnancy benefits the early development.
