Female Infertility can be caused by physical obstructions like endometriosis or pelvic inflammatory disease blocking the fallopian tubes, hormonal issues interfering with ovulation, or problems with fertilization or early development. Around 12% of women experience infertility, which is generally treated through fertility drugs, surgery, artificial insemination or assisted reproductive technologies like in vitro fertilization. Coping strategies include considering other family planning options, seeking counseling or support groups, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle to potentially overcome infertility issues.
Safemotherhood 130212085105-phpapp01
This document discusses safe motherhood and its contribution to achieving Millennium Development Goals 4 and 5 of reducing child mortality and improving maternal health. It provides background on maternal mortality rates being highest in Africa. Every minute, a woman dies during labor or delivery from preventable causes. While developed countries have made commitments to improving women's and children's health, many developing countries still face challenges in ensuring safe deliveries and adequate utilization of health services, especially for adolescent mothers. Progress on maternal health goals varies across countries in the Southeast Asia region. Concerted efforts are still needed to intensify actions to save mothers' and children's lives.

Infant mortality in India has decreased significantly from 204 per 1000 live births in 1911-1915 to 41 per 1000 live births in 2012. However, rates still vary greatly between states, with Madhya Pradesh having an IMR of 56 and Kerala only 12. Biological factors like low birth weight, young or older maternal age, high fertility, and cultural factors like breastfeeding practices, maternal education, and access to healthcare impact infant mortality rates. Preventive measures include improving prenatal nutrition and sanitation, promoting breastfeeding and growth monitoring, increasing access to primary healthcare and education, and encouraging family planning.
Planned parenthood- Friend or Foe?
Planned Parenthood provides a range of reproductive health services including contraception, STD testing and treatment, cancer screening, and abortion. However, abortion is a controversial service that has led some government officials to try to cut Planned Parenthood's funding. While Planned Parenthood is criticized for abortion, it also provides important educational and medical services to low-income communities for issues like sexual health, birth control, and relationships. The document argues that eliminating Planned Parenthood would negatively impact people's access to these important healthcare services.
REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH/ MATERNAL HEALTH
This document discusses reproductive and maternal health issues. It defines reproductive health as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being in all matters relating to the reproductive system. Common maternal health problems mentioned include reproductive tract infections, malnutrition, anemia, complications during delivery, puerperal sepsis, abortions, infertility, uterine prolapse, and cervical cancer. Causes, effects, and methods of prevention are described for each issue. Overall the document emphasizes the importance of access to healthcare, nutrition, hygiene, and women's empowerment for ensuring reproductive and maternal health.
11 Pregnancy
Pregnancy is recognized as a crucial part of reproductive health that affects everyone. It lasts nine months and is conventionally divided into three trimesters. Adolescent and early pregnancy violates girls' rights and can have life-threatening results, as child marriage is a key driver of early pregnancy. Every day in 2015, about 830 women died due to complications of pregnancy and childbirth. Abortion was legalized in Nepal in 2002 and has contributed to a sharp decline in maternal mortality. When disasters strike, pregnant women face psychological, physical and chemical stressors and lack of access to health care and resources. Preparedness programs should provide facilities that are safe and secure for women and children.

Maternity
Pre-conception care and prenatal care are both important for maternal and infant health. Pre-conception care involves identifying medical issues prior to pregnancy to reduce risks. It includes health screenings, education, and lifestyle changes. Prenatal care during pregnancy aims to monitor the health of the mother and fetus. It includes regular checkups, screenings, and education on nutrition, healthy behaviors, and signs of complications. Early and regular prenatal care is associated with better pregnancy outcomes such as lower risk of low birth weight, preterm birth, and infant mortality. The first prenatal visit includes initial assessments, tests, immunizations, and health education to establish a foundation for wellness during the pregnancy.
Maternal mortality
The document discusses maternal mortality, defining it as the death of a woman during or within 42 days of pregnancy termination from pregnancy-related causes. It provides global and Indian statistics on maternal mortality and approaches to measure it. The leading causes of maternal death worldwide and in India are discussed. Preventive measures to reduce maternal mortality are outlined, including antenatal care, skilled birth attendance, emergency obstetric care, and addressing social determinants. Initiatives taken in India like maternal death audits and clinical guidelines developed in Kerala are also summarized.
Dealing with infertility in working women
This document discusses infertility issues faced by working women. It notes that about 7.3 million people are affected by infertility, with delayed childbearing being a major contributing factor. Treatment procedures for infertility are difficult both physically and financially, requiring women to undergo expensive and stressful medical procedures that often require taking time off work. A key reason for rising infertility among women is increased age of first pregnancy to around 35 years old on average, as women prioritize their careers and further education and delay starting families as a result.
Preventive and social obstetrics
This document discusses preventive and social obstetrics. It outlines investigations, clinical examinations, non-therapeutic measures, and developmental anomalies that are important considerations. Social factors like age, education level, and economic status can impact reproduction. Ultrasound technology has improved prenatal screening for fetal abnormalities. Early testing from 12-14 weeks is important for women with risk factors. A variety of genetic and environmental factors can increase risks of developmental issues. Close prenatal care and screening is recommended to monitor fetal health and development.
ADOLECENTS AND DRUGS

Reproductive Life Planning and Motivational Interviewing
This presentation was part of Embody's Safe Healthy Strong 2015 conference on sexuality education (www.ppwi.org/safehealthystrong). Embody is Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin's education and training programs. Learn more: www.ppwi.org/embody
DESCRIPTION
Reproductive life planning (RLP) is a client-based assessment of personal life goals to determine if and where childbearing fits in with education, family, relationships, work, and more. This assessment then informs the development of a flexible strategy to prevent or plan future pregnancies in order to successfully meet these goals.
However, getting patients to modify their health or sexual habits isn’t always easy. The practice of motivational interviewing (MI) is an effective catalyst for behavior change. MI is a quick, effective, client-centered counseling technique that allows clients to define their own goals and make their own choices by helping them identify what is personally meaningful and valuable in their own lives, and to act in ways that will help them meet their goals. Best of all, it works.
This full-day pre-conference workshop introduced participants to the core concepts of motivational interviewing, placed within the context of reproductive life planning, a process which allows individuals to make appropriate decisions regarding their sexual and reproductive health, desire to have children, and birth spacing.
Participants learned the basic techniques of motivational interviewing and discovered how to help clients assess their own goals, make a plan that will help them meet those goals, and find ways to overcome obstacles that may occur along the way.

It discusses that stillbirth rates have declined since 2000 but not as greatly as maternal and neonatal mortality. Most stillbirths occur in low-income countries and are associated with factors like infections, non-communicable diseases, and inadequate antenatal care. High-income countries like Australia could do more to investigate every stillbirth case and address social disadvantages that increase risk. The psychosocial and economic impacts of stillbirth are substantial but it remains a hidden issue with stigma. Coronial jurisdictions generally do not investigate stillbirths but legal cases show deaths shortly after birth may be reportable. Claims for mental harm from perinatal death

Adolescent-pregnancy-Camacho-Chandra-Mouli-2010-notes.ppt
This document provides an overview of adolescent pregnancy from a global perspective. It addresses the magnitude of adolescent pregnancy, noting that 16 million girls aged 15-19 give birth annually with 90% occurring in developing countries. It then discusses the consequences of adolescent pregnancy for both mother and child, including higher rates of maternal mortality and morbidity as well as negative birth outcomes. The circumstances in which adolescent pregnancy occurs are explored, including early marriage, coerced sex, and unintended pregnancy. The document stresses that responses need to consider the different contexts and empower adolescents through education, opportunities, and health services. It concludes by linking adolescent pregnancy to achieving the Millennium Development Goals.
PPT DISCUSSION ON ISSUES OF MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH.pptx
The document discusses several key issues related to maternal and child health in India. It notes that while India has experienced rapid economic growth, healthcare remains neglected, especially in rural areas where 50% of villagers lack access to providers. Key health issues include high infant and maternal mortality rates, malnutrition, and lack of access to toilets. The document outlines India's progress in reducing maternal mortality but notes 47,000 mothers still die each year during childbirth largely due to preventable causes like hemorrhage and sepsis. Issues related to maternal age, teenage pregnancy, advanced maternal pregnancy, multigravidas, gender, and gender identity are also discussed in relation to maternal and child health outcomes.
2. Maternal and infant health profiles SA 2.pdf
Maternal health care in South Africa has improved over time. According to a 2016 survey, facility deliveries increased to 96.7% from 83.4% in 1998 while home deliveries decreased from 14% to 4%. Maternal mortality has declined but remains high at 536 deaths per 100,000 live births. Improved access to antenatal care, skilled birth attendants, and postnatal care has positively impacted maternal and infant health outcomes. However, inequities persist and further efforts are still needed to ensure all women receive quality maternal healthcare.

The Mother & Child Project: How to Prevent the Orphan Crisis
At the Christian Alliance for Orphans annual gathering on May 1, 2015, Hope Through Healing Hands hosted a workshop entitled The Mother & Child Project: How to Prevent the Orphan Crisis. While most workshops were providing instructive guidance on the care of orphans and vulnerable children both at home and around the world, ours focused on the prevention side; that is, how can we stop the orphan crisis before it begins? How can we turn the tide over the next two decades?

EMELIA'S FINAL RESEARCH PAPER
This document summarizes a study examining the impact of nutritional services provided by the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) on birth outcomes in the South Bronx. Interviews were conducted with six WIC program administrators. The responses suggested that pregnant women who enrolled in WIC early and followed the nutritional guidelines had healthier pregnancies and full-term babies, while those who abused drugs or did not receive prenatal care had poorer outcomes like preterm birth or low birth weight. In conclusion, adherence to the WIC program was found to lead to positive pregnancy outcomes, though more health education is still needed to help women change unhealthy behaviors.
Adolecent pregnancy,unwed mothers, elderly primi,substance abuse
The document discusses adolescent pregnancy, unwed mothers, causes and risks. It defines adolescent pregnancy as affecting girls aged 19 or younger. Rates have declined due to increased condom use. Younger teens aged 12-14 are more at risk of unplanned sex. Unwed mothers face social stigma and economic hardship without family support. Preventive measures include education, easy access to contraceptives, and banning prostitution. Nurses can educate youth and advocate for the rights of unwed mothers.
Report assignment
This report analyzes the high rate of teen pregnancy through data and recommendations for reduction. It finds that while the teen pregnancy rate dropped in the 1990s, it has since increased by 5-14%. The report examines statistics on sexually active teens by age, gender, and race from 1990-1997 and estimates that 2-4 out of 10 teens may become pregnant by 2005 based on rate increases. Recommendations to reduce the rate include increasing access to condoms, birth control pills, and teaching abstinence.

A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC Charlotte
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

Border towns and spaces of (in)visibility.pdf
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

Improve maternal health
- 1. Improve Maternal Health By: Marian Abdirahman
- 2. Maternal Health? What is Maternal Health? The health of a woman when she is pregnant What are signs of poor maternal health? Sickness, new health conditions, complications that occur from pregnancy such as: unknown bleeding, and pain that isn’t regular. How can it be improved? Research and finding the causes of poor maternal health then treating the causes. Having the right resources improves maternal health.
- 3. Facts • Since 1990, the maternal mortality ratio has been cut nearly in half, and most of the reduction occurred since 2000. • More than 71 per cent of births were assisted by skilled health personnel globally in 2014, an increase from 59 per cent in 1990. • Globally, there were an estimated 289,000 maternal deaths in 2013. • After years of slow progress, only half of pregnant women receive the recommended amount of antenatal care.
- 4. Why improving Maternal health resonates with me? • Maternal health resonates with me because I am a woman that will one day get pregnant and have children and I want to have the best possible maternal health when I do. There is research that shows that black women have a higher rate of death from pregnancy and since I am a black women, I need to know that I have the best resources and solutions to possible things that can harm me.
- 5. How Can My Interest be Applied Locally? • In Washington, the rate of pregnancy-related maternal deaths is 9 in 100,000 births, compared to 17 per 100,000 births in the rest of the country. • In 2016, the Washington Maternal Mortality Review was established through Senate Bill 6534 • Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) is a survey of new mothers conducted by Washington State Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) • Being involved in programs and reviews can help significantly and can help improve maternal health.
- 6. Where Can I make the Greatest Contribution? • I can participate in non profit organizations for women and their maternal health such as: https://everymothercounts.org/ • I can raise awareness and be an advocate for improving maternal health • I can gain as much insight on cases of pregnant women and learn more about what can be done to help manage or prevent complications that arise while women are pregnant.
- 7. Is there a feature of social media that can be uniquely applied to this goal? • There are many features on social media that can be applied to this goal. Such as: Facebook Twitter Instagram Snapchat • Making social media accounts that help educate people about improving maternal health and letting them know what they can do to make a difference will help reach this goal.
