Marriage is the most enjoyable human
relationship and the most important event that may
happen to your life. It takes only two people, a man,
and a woman to unite and make a successful
relationship as a married couple. It is a lifelong
partnership of two unique individuals, a man and a
woman who understand, care, love, and respect each
other. It is a tied-up between two people who continue
to grow and develop their best qualities as human
beings. It is also not just a contract but an inviolable social institution. Its nature,
consequences and practices are governed by law and not subject to stipulation
except that the marriage settlements may to a certain extent fix the property
relations during the marriage. (Civil Code of the Philippines). Marriage is a
precious institution under which man and woman believe in one faith.
Children are conceived, raised, and nourished to become useful and productive
citizens of the country and the world, and is essential to the continuity of the
human race.
For Filipinos, marriage is a sacrament and a lifelong commitment. The
husband and wife work together for a successful and harmonious relationship at

Pregnancy-Related Concerns
(Pre-During-Post Pregnancy) WEEKS
3-4
I Lesson
Pregnancy is a process and series of changes that takes place in a

woman’s body.
In this lesson you will be made aware of pregnancy-related concerns and
prenatal care. This will also help you know how to become a responsible woman
or a mother to best support the health of your future child.

planned pregnancy, and explain the importance of healthy practices during the
phases or stages of pregnancy.
D
Learning Task 1: Read the words below. Are you familiar with them? What do
they mean? Write your answers in your answer sheet.
Pregnancy Morning Sickness Complications Discomfort

Trimester Braxton Hicks Contraction Health Condition
After marriage, a couple’s desire is to build a family. Humans are reproduced

through sexual reproduction. In this kind of reproduction,
the man and woman’s reproductive cells unite to make a
new human cell and this process was called fertilization.
Fertilization is a reproductive process where the genes of

the father and mother merge to form a single cell; the new
cell divides, then forms more cells. The ball of cells enters
the uterus and attaches itself to the uterine wall. It is where the developing cells
were attached and is called implantation.
Pregnancy is the time when a new cell is formed during fertilization, grows,
and develops into a baby in the woman’s uterus. From the time that the ovum
and the sperm cell unite until the end of the eight weeks, the developing human
are called embryo. From the eight weeks until birth, the developing human is
called the fetus. A normal pregnancy lasts until 38-40 weeks or 9 months.
Teenage Pregnancy (Mccoy and Wibbelsman, 1992: 235-236)

Teenage pregnancies are unplanned and unwanted pregnancy
that can cause emotional suffering or pain, possible health risks,
and even death. This occurs in mothers who are too young and or
immature to satisfactorily care for a child and even endangering
the pregnancy of the young mother.

Statistics:
1. Teenagers ages 15 and younger, faces a 60% higher risk of death during
pregnancy and childbirth than those ages of 20.
2. Babies born by teenage mothers are more likely to die during their first year
than babies born to older mothers
3. Infants born with low birth weight by teen mothers are twice more likely to
have a risk of physical and mental defects as well as increased risk of dying.
4. During the critical first month of pregnancy, 70% of teen mothers get no
medical care at all and 25% get no parental care at all. This situation is
dangerous because a teenage mother may be able to conceive a baby, but her
body is not quite ready for the stresses of pregnancy and childbirth. Thus, a
higher risk of complications and infections occur during childbirth and more
after-delivery.
5. Teenage mothers who even had good prenatal care are more likely to have
premature labor and deliver low birth-weight babies.
6. Most young mothers are more likely to drop out of school, face a high risk of
poverty, unemployment, and dependence on parents.
7. The high risk of breaking-up or separation can occur if they marry due to
pregnancy.
Teenage mothers are more likely to be impatient, angered, and disillusioned by
the demands of her baby and may become an abusive parent.
Each mother is a distinct individual. Some young women make wonderful
mothers and manage to build satisfying lives for themselves. Unfortunately,
these tend to be in minority.
Chances are if you are a pregnant teenager, young pregnancy is a problem for
you and your family.
Learning Task 2: Look at each picture and spot their differences. Be guided by the
questions below. Write your answers in your answer sheet.
picture 1 picture 2
a. Describe the pictures. Are they different?

b. Why do you think they differ? Explain your answer.
Changes in the Mother’s Body
During pregnancy, a woman’s body undergoes many changes. The mother’s
uterus releases special hormones during implantation. These hormones are only
released by the woman’s body during pregnancy. This hormone
produced makes a pregnant woman nauseated, also known as
“morning sickness” that usually last for 3 months. The same
hormones enlarge the woman’s breast and prepare to produce
milk.
The woman’s uterus stretches to hold a full-sized newborn
baby over 9 months. Her abdomen stretches and gets larger.
She also experiences swelling of legs, restlessness, difficulty in
sleeping, and irritability as the fetus gets larger. Most pregnant women feel
uncomfortable or clumsy because of the changes that took place.
Nourishing the Baby

Almost everything that goes into the mother’s body enters her bloodstream
and goes to the placenta. During pregnancy, the placenta grows in the woman’s
uterus and allows nutrients, gases, and wastes to be exchanged between the
mother and the fetus. From the mother’s membrane to the fetus, nutrients,
fluids, and oxygen flows while carbon dioxide and waste products flow across
the placenta from the fetus to the mother.
The fetus gets its nutrition from the food that mother’s take during
pregnancy. The mother needs to eat healthy foods and take special vitamins to
ensure the health of the fetus. Pregnant mothers must get regular medical
check-ups to protect her health and the health of the growing fetus.
Normal physical changes and symptoms throughout pregnancy

Although they can range from mild to severe, the following conditions are
common during pregnancy:
Fatigue Morning sickness

Sleep problems Breast changes
Heartburn Varicose veins
Changes in vaginal discharge Hair changes

Phases of pregnancy
The first trimester of pregnancy occurs from week 1 to week 12 and
missed menstrual period will be your first sign of pregnancy.
The second trimester of pregnancy is from week 13 to week 27. In this
period most women start to look pregnant and begin to wear maternity clothes.

The third trimester lasts from week 28 to birth. During this period most
pregnant women have sleep problems and felt discomfort as their belly gets bigger.
Complications of Pregnancy

Toxemia proper nutrition
Morning sickness iron and folic acid prescribed by the physician
Anemia folic acid prescribed by the doctor
Diabetes proper nutrition
Constipation fluid intake, proper nutrition, and exercise

BIRTH
The passage of a baby from its mother’s uterus to the outside of her body. The
uterus contracts many times and pushes the baby through the vagina and
outside the mother’s body.
Labor is the process that lasts from the time contractions start until the delivery
of the child and the placenta.
There are three distinct stages of labor:
1st Stage – Begins with the first contraction and lasts until the cervix has opened
enough to allow the baby to pass through. Contraction happens every few
minutes and lasts a minute.
2nd Stage – Starts when the cervix is completely open and lasts until the baby is
delivered. During this period, contraction happens every 2-3 minutes. After the
baby is born, the doctor cuts the umbilical cord. Healthy babies breathe and cry
almost immediately.
3rd Stage – This is the final stage of labor. It is when the placenta is delivered. In
this stage, the mother’s uterine contractions push the placenta or “afterbirths”
out of her body. At this time, the birth is completed.
In some cases, doctors must deliver a baby by a cesarian section (CS).
The doctor surgically removes the baby and the placenta from the mother’s
uterus. Cases like this happen when the mother is not capable of delivering
Mother’s role during and after pregnancy:

 Avoid vices such as smoking and drinking alcoholic beverages.
 Avoid stressful activities.
 See to it that she gets the necessary pre-natal and post-natal check-up.
 Do exercises like walking, yoga, etc.

up.
 He must take care of the mother and the baby.
 He should see to it that the necessary immunizations as scheduled are
strictly followed.
 He should provide healthy diet meals for the mother and the child.
HOW TO TAKE CARE OF A PREGNANT WOMAN

The Importance of Maternal
WEEKS
and Newborn Care
5-6 Lesson
I
Becoming a mother is not that easy. It entails great responsibility not
only to herself but as well as her child and of her family.
This lesson was designed for you to be aware of the importance of maternal
nutrition during pregnancy, essential newborn protocol, and advantages of
breastfeeding to have a harmonious relationship in a family.
At the end of the lesson, you are expected to explain the importance of
maternal nutrition, prenatal and post-natal care during pregnancy, discusses the
importance of newborn screening, and the APGAR scoring system for newborns,
the essential newborn protocol (Unang Yakap) and advantages of breastfeeding for
both mother and child, and recognizes the importance of immunization in
protecting children’s health.
D
Learning Task 1: Name at least five kinds of food that a pregnant woman should
eat. Do this activity in your answer sheet.
Pregnant women need to become aware of the food they eat. A baby in
their womb absorbs all the nutrients a mother takes in.
IMPORTANCE OF MATERNAL NUTRITION
During early embryogenesis, pregnancy, birth, and lactation, the maternal
nutritional status affects the offspring’s health development. Subsequently, it
also determines the child’s health during growth and even throughout
adulthood. The importance of maternal nutrition expands into the time-period
before conception. Fertility, embryogenesis, and life-long health are influence by
the pre-conception nutritional status. Predisposition for coronary heart
diseases, type-2 diabetes mellitus, and hypertension can be caused by
intrauterine adaptations to fetal malnutrition. Hence, the impact on the
wellbeing of the next generation lies in the nutritional intake of women during
their reproductive period.

Newborn
An exciting feeling is felt at home when you have a new baby, but it can
be scary too. Newborn babies have many needs such as diaper changes and
frequent feeding. They can also have health issues that are different from older
children or adults.
Essential Newborn Care Protocol aimed to significantly reduce infant

deaths in the country.
The protocol can pave the way for the reduction of neonatal deaths.
Essential Newborn Care is an inclusive scheme that improves the newborn’s
health condition through the interventions given before conception, during p
regnancy, soon after birth, and in the postnatal period. This protocol focuses on
the newborn’s first few hours of life with the health workers and medical
practitioner’s manual guiding in providing evidence-based essential newborn
care. The guidelines are categorized into the time-bound and non-time bound
plus unnecessary procedures.
Time bound procedures should be routinely performed first which are:
1. immediate drying
2. skin to skin contact
3. clamping of the cord after 1-3 minutes
4. non-separation of the newborn from the mother
5. breastfeeding initiation.
Non-time bound interventions include:
1. Immunizations
2. Eye Care
3. Vitamin K administration
4. Weighing
5. Washing
6. Routine suctioning
7. Routine separation of newborn for observation
8. Administration of prelacteals like glucose water or formula.
Newborn babies should undergo a newborn screening as reflected in
REPUBLIC ACT NO. 9288
AN ACT PROMULGATING A COMPREHENSIVE POLICY AND A NATIONAL
SYSTEM FOR ENSURING NEWBORN SCREENING
Newborn means a child from the time of complete delivery to 30 days old.
Newborn Screening
Newborn Screening (NBS) is a simple
procedure to find out if the baby has a congenital
metabolic disorder that may lead to mental
retardation or even death if left untreated.
Importance of Newborn Screening
Most babies with metabolic disorders look "normal" at birth. By doing
NBS, metabolic disorders may be detected even before clinical signs and
symptoms are present. And because of this, treatment can be given early to
prevent consequences of untreated conditions.
When is screening done?
Newborn screening is ideally done on the 48th - 72nd hour of life.
However, it may also be done after 24 hours from birth.
How is newborn screening done?
A few drops of blood are taken from the baby's heel, blotted on a special
absorbent filter card and then sent to Newborn Screening Center (NSC).
Who will collect the sample for newborn screening?
The blood sample for NBS may be collected by any of the following:
physician, nurse, medical technologist, or trained midwife.
Where is newborn screening available?
Newborn screening is available in Hospitals, Lying-ins, Rural Health Unit,
Health Centers, and some private clinics. If babies are delivered at home, babies
may be brought to the nearest institution offering newborn screening.
When are newborn screening results available?
Results can be claimed from the health facility where NBS was availed.
Normal NBS results are available by 7 - 14 working days from the time samples
are received at NSC.
Positive NBS results are relayed to the parents immediately by the health
facility.
Please ensure that the address and phone number provided to the health
facility are correct.
A NEGATIVE SCREEN MEANS THAT THE NBS RESULT IS NORMAL.

A positive screen means that the newborn must be brought back to his/
her health practitioner for further testing.

What should be done when a baby is tested a positive NBS result?
Babies with positive results must be referred at once to a specialist for
confirmatory testing and further management. Should there be no specialist in
the area, the NBS secretariat office will assist its attending physician.
What are the disorders tested for newborn screening?

The disorders tested for newborn screening are:
(1) Congenital Hypothyroidism (CH)
(2) Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH)
(3) Galactosemia (GAL)
(4) Phenylketonuria (PKU)
(5) Glucose-6-Phosphate-Dehydrogenase Deficiency (G6PD Def.)
The behavioural development of a healthy baby:

0-1 month suckles and smiles
2-3 months vocalizes and controls head
4-5 months controls hand and rolls over
6-7 months sits briefly and crawls
8-9 months grasps and pulls up
Here is a table of immunizations a baby should have:

Republic Act No. 7600

This Act shall be known as "The Rooming-In and Breast-Feeding Act of
1992.”
The State adopts rooming-in as a national policy to
encourage, protect, and support the practice of
breastfeeding. It shall create an environment where the
basic physical, emotional, and psychological needs of
mothers and infants are fulfilled through the practice of
rooming-in and breastfeeding.
Breastmilk is the best food since it contains
essential nutrients suitable for the infant’s needs. It is also
nature’s first immunization, enabling the infant to fight
potentially serious infections. It contains growth factors
that enhance the maturation of an infant’s organ systems.
BREASTFEEDING
It is the traditional and ideal form of infant feeding, meeting an infant’s
nutritional needs for his first four to six months of life. Human milk is clean. It
lowers the risk of intestinal illness and general infection. Mother’s milk provides
a host of protective factors both cellular and hormonal. Breastmilk contains
antibodies that helps the immune system of the infant strong. It is non-allergenic
and easily digested.
LACTATION
It is the period of milk production initiated by the prolactin hormone in the
mammary glands. The mother’s milk is bluish and watery. It has approximately
67 Kcalories / 100 mL or 20 kcalories/ oz. and 1.2 grams protein per 100 mL. An
average of 850 mL of mother’s milk is produced every day. The first thick
yellowish fluid that comes out from second to the fifth day after delivery is called
colostrum. It should be given to all newborns because of its high protein
contents. Healthy childcare entails breastfeeding of the baby.
Remember:
The advantages of breastfeeding are:
 It is economical and nutritious.
 It promotes emotional bonding between the child and the mother.
 Mother’s milk has antibodies that protects the infant from certain diseases.
What are the nutrients a baby can get from a mother’s milk?

Responsible Parenthood
7-8
I Lesson
In a traditional Filipino family setting, the father is the provider and the
head of the family while the mother is responsible for the needs and in-charge of
the emotional growth and values formation of the children. They both perform
different roles and tasks and are treated differently by their children. Close family
ties were also a part of the Filipino family setting.
This lesson was designed to help you learn and understand how to become a
responsible parent and to have a successful family life.
At the end of the lesson, you are expected to analyze the importance of
responsible parenthood, recognize the factors for successful family life, explain
the effects of family size on the health of the family, examine the important roles
and responsibilities of parents in child-rearing and care, explain the effects of
rapid population growth on the health of the nation, and propose ways on how to
plan an ideal family size.

Learning Task : Read the statement below, draw THUMBS UP (  ) if you agree
with the statement and THUMBS DOWN (  )if not. Explain the reason for your
answer. Do this activity in your answer sheet.

_______2. Security is the priority of my parents.
_______3. Parents give love and care to their children.
_______4. We live under the bridge because our parents are jobless.
_______5. I get what I want from my parents.
Parenthood
 state of being a parent.
 biological child’s father or mother.
 legal father and mother of the child when adaptation is involved.
Responsible Parenthood
 the ability and willingness to respond to the family’s needs and aspirations.
Responsible Parenting
 defined as the series of couple’s decisions to ensure the best possible life for
the family and for the community to which the family belongs.
 Parents’ ability to raise children in the Filipino way and satisfies the
economic, social, and religious responsibilities of a family.
 also includes instilling of discipline and the inculcation of values.

Parenthood is a great responsibility or task. It is not a
role that can be successfully played based on chance. It is
where responsible couples arrive at after deciding to have a
family.
Things to consider when thinking of parenthood:

1. Happiness and stability of the marriage.
 The relationship of the couple should be satisfactory
because a child’s arrival may only become another source of
marital stress and misery.
2. Both parents must be physically and emotionally ready for parenthood.
 For a wife to give birth to a healthy child, she should be physically and
emotionally prepared and the husband must be mature enough in carrying his
responsibilities.
3. Financial stability.
 The cost of living gets higher as the newborn child completes the family and it
depends on his parents.
What do we mean by responsible parenthood?

An important part of growing up is learning to make decisions about our
lives. Part of the decision- making means taking responsibility for our own actions
and understanding that our decisions affect the lives of other people. A person
needs accurate and reliable information in making responsible decisions. The
father and the mother must both decide together on the family size and child
spacing; thus, their decisions will affect both of their lives.
Every person and each couple’s situation are different. So, it means that
there is no set of rules or guidelines that can be applied to everyone. Couples
need to make their own decisions regarding responsible behavior. To help the
youth to make good decisions, adults can give an advice and counseling, and
discussions within the youth group.
To start a family is a very important decision that needs emotional,

intellectual, social, physical, and economic preparation. Motherhood and
fatherhood are not a simple task for which we are "naturally equipped"; they
require preparation and maturity.
Responsible parenthood comprises of choosing our partners, the right time

to form families, when to have the first child, child spacing, the number of
children to have in all, etc. But responsible parenthood does not end with
decisions on when to have them and about how many children to have.
Responsible parenthood must be on making decisions that will ensure the best
possible lives for ourselves and our children.
Children’s special needs can possibly neglect if not carefully planned for.
Aside from their need for appropriate nutrition, children also need emotional
support and affection, mental stimulation, social involvement, and recreation.

Learning Task 2: Create a slogan expressing the responsibilities and roles of
parents and children. Do this activity in your answer sheet.
Duties and responsibilities of parents

 Provision of physical care and love
During prenatal stage, parent’s duties and
responsibilities starts. Children’s physical, mental,
and emotional health depends on the quality of
prenatal care they received.
 Inculcating discipline
Parents must be the role models in
instilling discipline in their children.
They should be taught on how to think and reason out for themselves and be
able to know and decide between what is right from wrong. Children should also
learn to appreciate the value of freedom with responsibility, to accept
limitations, and understand the requirements of living happily and peacefully
with other people.
 Developing social competence
 Education
 Citizenship training
 Financial aspect of responsibility
 Spiritual formation

and that there is never enough food to eat or time for anything but work. Most
of the children stopped going to school to work in a neighbor's fields. The seven
and five-year-old children are still at school but will not be able to stay much
longer because there is no money for the fees. The youngest child was born too
early and is very sickly. At the moment he has bad diarrhea. The doctor has told
