Engagement is an agreement entered between two people in love, a means of knowing


each other and their families well, a way to ensure that they are ready and are suited
for life-long companionship. It also provides opportunity to develop interpersonal skills
useful before and even within marriage. It is the time to understand and explore each
other’s strengths and weaknesses so they can adjust to one another.

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.

Lesson 3: Pregnancy-Related Concerns
(Pre-During-Post Pregnancy)

Let us Discuss It!

A Happy Day, dear Learner!

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.
At the end of the lesson, you are expected to identify and discuss the different
pregnancy-related concerns, analyze the effects of unplanned or planned pregnancy,
and explain the importance of healthy practices during the phases or stages of
pregnancy.

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.

79
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.
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

80
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
Nosebleeds and bleeding gums Pelvic ache and hip pain
Hemorrhoids and constipation Back pain and sciatica
Stretch marks, itchiness, and other skin changes Leg cramps
Hand pain, numbness, or weakness
(carpal tunnel syndrome)

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 easiest part
of pregnancy.
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.
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

Lesson 4:
The Importance of Maternal and
Newborn Care

Let us Discuss It!

A Happy Day, dear Learner!

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.

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
86
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
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,

87
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:
