| What are 2 downsides of water births? | 1.Increases the rate for infection 2.Underwater emergence of the head is difficult to monitor |
| "A quick assessment of a newborn's body functioning." | Apgar scale |
| How is the apgar scale measured? | The baby's heart rate, respiratory effort, muscle tone, colour, and reflexes are given a score of 0, 1, o2 twice (at one minute and five minutes after birth) and each time the total of all five scores is compared with the ideal score of 10 (which is rare) |
| What are the 5 vital signs measured on the Apgar scale? | 1.Colour 2.Heart rate 3.Cry 4.Muscle tone 5.Breathing |
| What are the 3 factors that influence birthing specifics (water birth vs C-section, etc.)? | 1.Parents' preparation 2.Position and size of fetus 3.Customs and culture |
| "A surgical birth, in which incisions through the mother's abdomen and uterus allow the fetus to be removed quickly, instead of being delivered through the vagina." | C-section |
| "An injection in a particular part of the spine of the labouring woman to alleviate pain." | epidural |
| "Labour that is started, speeded or strengthened with a drug. Reason to do so is often medically warranted (ex: woman develops eclampsia, which could kill the fetus). Increases rate of complications (including need for a C-section). | Induced labour |
| What are the 3 most common medical intervention births? | 1.C-sections 2.Epidural 3.Induced labour |

| What are the 3 sets of protective reflexes that newborns have? | 1.Reflexes that maintain oxygen supply 2.Reflexes that maintain constant body temperature 3.Reflexes that manage feeding |
| What are 4 examples of reflexes that maintain oxygen supply in newborns? | 1.Breathing reflex 2.Hiccups 3.Sneezes 4.Thrashing (moving arms and and legs about to protect the face) |
| What are 2 reflexes that maintain constant body temperature in newborns? | 1.When they are cold they cry, shiver, and tuck their legs 2.When they are hot they push away blankets and stay still |
| What are 5 reflexes that manage feeding in newborns? | 1.Scuking reflex 2.Rooting reflex (turn their mouths toawrds anything that brushes against their cheecks -reflexively searching for a nipple- and suck) 3.Swallowing 4.Crying when stomach is empty 5.Spitting up when they are full |
| Give 2 examples that explain how newborn senses are responsive to people. | 1.Listen more to voices than to traffic 2.Stare at faces more than at machines |
| "Symptoms of pregnancy and birth experienced by fathers: eperience weight gain and indigestion during pregnancy and pain during labour; levels of stress hormones correlate between expectant fathers and mothers." | Couvade |

| "A child-care technique in which a new mother holds the baby between her breasts with skin-to-skin contact." | Kangaroo care |
