Measuring Fetal Oxygen Does Not Reduce Caesarean Rate
“Measuring the amount of oxygen in the blood of a fetus during labor has no bearing on whether a Caesarean section is performed and does not affect the health of the newborn baby, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found in a multicenter study.”

Fetus oxygen has no bearing on Caesarean
“DALLAS, Nov. 24 (UPI) — Measuring the amount of oxygen in the blood of a fetus during labor has no bearing on whether a Caesarean section is performed, finds a U.S. study. Researchers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas tested whether doctors’ knowledge of fetal blood-oxygen levels, measured through fetal pulse oximetry, made a difference in the rate of Caesarean section or condition of the newborn infant.”

Search continues for effective fetal monitor
“If uteruses had windows, doctors would have a relatively easy time keeping an eye on how fetuses coped with their end of the birth process. Fortunately, most, sight unseen, do just fine. “To try to find the fetus who is having problems is a little bit like trying to find a needle in a haystack,” says Steven Bloom, chairman of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas.”

More often than not, a crying baby can drive parents and caregivers crazy, especially if the baby cries persistently. However, you need to know that crying is a common event in the lives of all babies. When a baby comes out of the womb the first thing to do is crying.

By the first cry he will take some air into the lungs for the first time in their life. It is obvious that the healthy baby should cry.

We all know that a baby can’t tell his needs or troubles. The only way for him to communicate with others is by crying. Babies show some other signals like feet kicking, hand waving and head turning. But the easiest way to capture the attention of others is by crying. (more…)

As parents, there are times when we need advice from others. We desire for words of wisdom that can liven up our strength and cheer up our days in the middle of the challenging (and precious) times with our children.

Therefore, we would like to share with you these words of wisdom - inspiring words that you can absolutely pass on to your families and friends.

We compiled the words and assembled pictures into a short video - all were done for you to comprehend and bear in mind.. and then be in love with your children more.

This video is presented to you… to reveal what we, parents, have inside, yet we probably have forgotten to complete.

Please leave a note here after you see it.
