The document discusses prenatal development and factors that influence it. It notes that a fetus's genetic characteristics may impact health and that parental age, health, social support, socioeconomic status, work environment, and cultural models can all affect the prenatal environment. It then discusses tools used to assess newborn health, including the Apgar exam which evaluates heart rate, muscle tone, response, skin color, and respiration at one and five minutes after birth. Scores below 7 may indicate issues requiring assistance.

The health and wellness of the population have become a greater concern than ever before. With the coronavirus pandemic showing no signs of slowing down, it’s important for everyone to stay inside and on lockdown. But while people are self-isolating, they’re falling into unhealthy habits.

Emotional wellbeing at menopause by dr alka mukherjee dr apurva mukherjeealka mukherjee
Emotional health is a person’s ability to accept and manage feelings through challenge and change. Someone who is emotionally healthy can allow their emotions to be digestible. The mundane hassles of daily life offer opportunities to practice responses, rather than reactions to allow emotional health to flourish.
Overall health includes physical, emotional, intellectual, social, and spiritual aspects. When they are in balance and alignment, human beings thrive. Each of these areas of life will influence the others.
Emotional health includes both emotional intelligence and emotional regulation. When the subjective experience of emotions is appropriate over a sustained period, emotional health is thought to be present. Positive affect will be apparent in mundane, daily activities.
Menopause, perimenopause and postmenopause are stages in a woman's life when her monthly period stops. This is the end of a woman's reproductive years. Perimenopause is the first stage in this process and can start eight to 10 years before menopause. Menopause is the point when a woman no longer has menstrual periods for at least 12 months. Postmenopause is the stage after menopause
2. Contextual Model of Prenatal
Development and Birth
• INFANT
Is conceived with a specific set of genetic
characteristics that may influence the health of
the fetus
3. Contextual Model of Prenatal
Development and Birth
• FAMILY SETTING
– Parental age and health effect factors as ease of
conception and financial resources available for
parenting, as well as decisions regarding the need
for prenatal screening.
– Mother’s physical health and exposure to
teratogens influence the health of the fetus.
– Social support available to mother during
pregnancy affects health.
4. Contextual Model of Prenatal
Development and Birth
• SES STATUS AND WORK SETTING
– Parental education, as well as economic and
community resources influence the quality of
prenatal care that a mother receives.
– Good health benefits offered by employers lead to
better care as well as parental leaves options
following birth.
– A more satisfying, less stressful work environment
influences the health of the mother and fetus.
5. Contextual Model of Prenatal
Development and Birth
• LARGER SOCIETAL AND CULTURAL
INFLUENCES
– Childbirth settings, including use of hospital,
doulas, birth centers, and professional midwives,
as well as likelihood of cesarean sections and
other medical interventions, are influences by
cultural models.
6. ASSESSING THE NEWBORN’S HEALTH
• Apgar Exam
– This test has become the standard for baby’s first
assessment, and it is typically administered at one
minute and five minute following birth.
– Focuses on five of the newborn’s vital physiological
functions:
• Heart rate
• Muscle tone
• Response to a mildly painful stimulus
• Skin colour
• Respitory
7. APGAR EXAM
• Apgar Exam score
– The highest score possible on the exam is 10
– An Apgar of 7 and above indicates that the newborn is
healthy.
– Scores between 4 and 6 need special help to establish
their breathing and stabilize their vital signs.
– Score of 3 or below are in medical danger and require
immediate intervention.
– Many factors can lower an infant’s Apgar score
including maternal smoking, drinking and labour
medication.
8. APGAR SCALE
SIGN 0 1
HEART RATE No heartbeat Under

9. DISCUSSION
1. What common procedures are used to assess
the newborn’s health?
2. What is C-section, and what contributes to
the high C-section rates today?
3. What are the reasons for low birth weight in
infants?
