Sex. A wide range of responses, the most prominent being excitement or utter embarrassment is elicited by the mention of the word. The latter is commonly assumed to be the general reaction among Asian cultures, where anybody bringing up the subject is given reproachful glares or red, blushing faces. Sex. For something so fundamental to human nature (in fact, how each and every one of us came into being), and as innate as our human need for water and air, why is it such a prodigiously avoided topic? Just as often, most debate the pros and cons of more traditional versus more liberal social values, one subject remains off the table -- sexuality and sex education.

Breastfeeding is natural occurring event that has been happening since the beginning of time. Both people and animal species breastfeed their young to provide nutrition and food for their babies. Women all over the world breastfeed and others do not give it a second thought or glance although here in America, it has it become a very touchy piece of subject matter.

Unlike vaginal birth delivery, the process of a cesarean delivery is quite different, but just as safe as giving vaginal birth (Taylor, 1). When delivering a baby using the cesarean method, there are two ways anesthetic can be used. The women can be put into an unconscious state using the anesthetic, therefore she will be asleep during the entire operation and her coach may not be present. The other way for the anesthetic to be used would be in an epidural or spinal block to temporarily numb the woman from her waist down. In this case the mother will be awake and her coach may be present to give her extra support. Once the anesthetic is working, an incision is made in the abdomen either horizontally or vertically, depending on the reason for the cesarean delivery. A vertical incision is made when the baby is in trouble and needs to be out as quickly as possible, when there is more time the horizontal incision is used. The baby is then lifted out of the uterus and gone for the APGAP procedure. The placenta is then removed and the mother’s reproductive organs are examined before closing the incision (Taylor, 1).
