孕婦的優惠 Wednesday, May 23 2007

懷孕到現在，

經歷許多很～感恩的”優惠”。

用”優惠”這個字眼是有點不那麼完全啦。^^

但”感覺”挺對的。

感謝天使載我回家＿＿

而且還是”不順道”的喔！！

平常有人這麼對你，你應該就會很感動了吧！

更何況我現在挺個肚子…

就不知道心理有多感～～激啊！

剛下去到垃圾，

社區的管理員一把接過我手裡的兩包：『我幫妳倒。大肚婆快回去休息。』

^^ 我被叫”大肚婆”ㄟ

女人真的很好玩。

（不想多做什麼辯護或解釋，就是一種”感覺”啦～我知道不是每個女人都這樣）

 我自個兒在這寫著，你也不會看到。

不過也不是寫給你看的＿不是全部。

雖然會寫到我們兩個的事情。

有時候很想你”不小心”發現我在幹嘛，
發現我平常覺得用嘴巴說出會彆扭的話。

有時候覺得變成夫妻久了就變成”習慣”，

我知道日子總要有一些平淡。

有時候會想想現在認識的你還是不是以前的你？

或許是現在的我有別於以前的我？

又也許，

我們都還是我們，

只是在現在出現的我們不是以前的那一部份。

你每天都會說（我愛你），

每天聽就真的覺得已經（老夫老妻）。

*~~My Pregnancy This Week~~* Monday, May 21 2007

My Pregnancy This Week Hello, Allyson! Your baby now weighs a little less than 2 pounds and measures about 14 inches. Her weight will more than triple between now and birth as she rapidly puts on baby fat. She’ll need that fat to help adjust to colder temperatures outside the womb and as a source of energy and calories in the first days of life. It’s not uncommon for newborns, especially those who are breastfed, to lose weight (sometimes as much as 10 percent of their birth weight) in the first week after birth. If you’re having a boy, his testicles are beginning to descend into his scrotum — a trip that will take about two to three days.>> Read more about this week Overheard “I get tired of everyone saying pregnant women are beautiful. I’ve never felt less attractive! I hear about women who love being pregnant, and I’m just puzzled by them.” — Laura >> Join the conversation! Visit your due date club. In the vast majority of the world’s languages, the word for “mother” begins with the letter m. Sponsor Links: Win Cord Blood Banking from CBR Evenflo: Best for Baby Recipes from Fruit Ripples Free stuff for you and your baby Signs of preeclampsia, and how to relieve constipation   Relieving constipation Try the following ideas to get things moving: • Exercise regularly. • Drink plenty of water (at least six to eight glasses a day). • Have a glass of fruit juice once a day and eat plenty of fiber-rich foods, such as whole grains, cereals, fruit, and vegetables. • When you feel the urge to go, act on it. Holding it in can cause your stool to dry out, making the problem worse. • Don’t stop taking your iron supplement without your doctor’s okay. Changing your schedule or brand may help. • Ask your provider about taking an over-the-counter fiber supplement or stool softener. Around this time, your blood pressure may be increasing slightly as it returns to its normal pre-pregnancy range. (It was at a low from 22 to 24 weeks.) Though preeclampsia most often occurs in the last trimester, this is a good time to be aware of the warning signs of this dangerous condition that occurs in about 3 to 7 percent of all pregnancies. Signs you should be alert for include swelling of the hands and face, sudden weight gain (due to water retention), blurry vision, seeing spots before your eyes, sudden severe or persistent headaches, or upper abdominal pain. By checking for high blood pressure and protein in your urine, your caregiver will monitor you for preeclampsia at your routine prenatal visits, but call her immediately if you have any of these symptoms between appointments. Early identification of preeclampsia is essential for the health of you and your baby.Are you suffering from constipation? It’s a common complaint. Half of all pregnant women experience some reduction in bowel movements. The reason you’re backed up is that your digestive system has slowed down considerably and the weight of your uterus is pressing on your rectum. Iron supplements may also contribute to the problem. What are Braxton Hicks contractions?Braxton Hicks contractions are merely the pregnant version of the mild involuntary uterine contractions that occur on a daily basis for most women, according to Dr. Mark Taslimi, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Lucille Packard Children’s Hospital in Palo Alto, California. Involuntary muscles like the uterus, heart, and intestines contract on a regular basis without you even knowing it. As your uterus gets bigger, the contractions are more noticeable because more muscle mass moves with each one. Unless the contractions are frequent and occur at regular intervals, there’s no real cause for concern.

Should I worry about spoiling my baby? Sunday, May 20 2007

Question: If I lavish love and attention on my baby, will I spoil him?

Answer: No. Young babies are completely spoil-proof. Your baby needs all the care and attention you can give. Ignore the advice of well-meaning relatives who think babies need to learn independence. Instead, listen to your parental instinct — that inner voice that tells you to comfort your baby when he cries.

“Spoiled children” have learned to use negative behavior to get what they want. But your baby is too young to purposefully manipulate or annoy you.

He cries to communicate his needs, whether they’re for a snack, a dry diaper, or a little cuddling with Mom or Dad. When you respond quickly to your baby, you’re building his sense of self-worth. You’re also establishing a foundation of trust that can last for years to come.

If you give your baby prompt attention, he’ll feel more secure and less anxious, giving him the courage to explore the world on his own. And once he understands that you take his cries seriously, he’ll be less likely to cry for no reason. In the long run, responding quickly to your baby’s needs will make him less clingy and demanding, not more.

By the time your baby is 6 to 8 months old, he’ll be paying close attention to cause and effect — noticing, for instance, that his bowl falls when he drops it from the highchair. He’ll also start to see a direct link between his actions and your responses. At this point it’s okay to set some limits. If your baby starts crying to get something he doesn’t need, hold your ground and give him a hug when he calms down. Similarly, give hugs and praise for good behavior and gently redirect him when he’s doing something hazardous.

The right blend of love and guidance will eventually help your child understand his place in the world. But for now, your focus should be on giving him as much attention and comfort as you can. No matter how much you give, it’s not more than he needs.

「胎兒算不算是一個人－談墮胎」、由伊莉的娃娃談未婚懷孕 Saturday, May 19 2007

訪 張立明醫師

台灣墮胎的數字驚人，比例是美國的5倍，從聖經與中國文化傳統的一些說法皆看出胎兒已是一個人，不是出生後才算是人，對墮胎我們應有更嚴肅與嚴謹的態度。

墮胎面面觀　學者剖析「胎兒不是人」的迷思

尊重胎兒的生命，是你我的責任

---

[本報消息]談到墮胎問題，正反兩方爭論的徵結─「胎兒到底是不是人？」早前由路加傳道會舉辦的研討會上，靜宜大學的柯志明老師駁斥這是一種成人主義的偏見，換句話說，就是以「成人」的特質來定義胎兒。

在今天這個瀰漫著物質主義、現世主義、性別主義、自我中心主義、權利主義的世代展現著一種健康、強勢成人的強詞奪理，硬是要把一些人排除在他們所規定的「人」之外，這純然是一種成人的強權主義作為。

對於「我是一個人」的認識，柯老師認為這是個體在群體中，藉由意思互動、認識的過程中認識自己，因此，每個人都期待被別人承認「你是一個人」，是一個受人敬重、有價值的人；再者，他認為人並不是物理性的個體、生物性的組織，更是一個精神的存有者，每個人身上都會有非物理性的可能。

他指出每個人都是「被決定的存在」，所以人不能了解自己的存在，這就是一個奧秘。

那到底胎兒是不是人？柯老師認為許多人都假裝不知道，人類的成長是一個完整、連續性的過程，從嬰兒到青少年、到青年人、中年人，終至老年人，因此胎兒怎可能不是人。他繼言，不能對人完全的掌握，把孩子當作一份禮物，就是把孩子視為一個可能性的他者（Other），這不僅是奧秘，也是人類尊嚴、敬重的根本。

而父母的責任就是把孩子養成像一個人，「真正的父母是在還不知道你有沒有價值的時候，把嬰兒生下來，並願意把撫養成有價值的人。」

懷孕生子是出於愛，父母子女之間是愛與被愛的關係，而非權力（Right）的關係。不然，根本沒有一個人可以活在世上，我們活著是因為背後有一強大的愛。

他強調，愛是給予、付出，而非申張權力。因此，若把權力置於討論墮胎問題爭議的核心，諸如：某些女性主義主張身體權，這不是在談生命的問題，而是在「政治」的對抗中。

最後柯老師直言「愛仇敵，是最高尚的愛」，而胎兒既是人類成員中最軟弱、無助、無辜的生命體，不也是我們應該去愛的對象。

# 編按：此次研習由中華基督教路加傳道會早前在嘉義基督教醫院舉辦，主題為「墮胎面面觀」。現今路加傳道會已經把當天研討會的實況錄影掛在其網站上，詳情請登入http://www.cych.org.tw/cych/ccmm/index.html。

二十一世紀的嬰兒夢幻食品 Thursday, May 17 2007

陳昭惠

醫師

羊奶粉、酸化奶、低過敏奶粉,國內嬰幼兒奶粉各式各樣五花八門，廠牌種類之多居世界之冠，您如何選擇呢？現在的嬰幼兒奶粉添加了胡蘿蔔素、核甘酸、寡糖、棕櫚油、甚至DHA，號稱對嬰幼兒的發展十分重要。您是否注意到，兩三年前您買給自己小孩吃的奶粉原來並不是最好的？就算您現在是使用市面上號稱最新的嬰兒配方奶，您如何確保兩年後不會有更新更好的產品出現，讓您為了孩子沒有吃到最好的而深深遺憾呢？ 經過一世紀的努力研究及長期追蹤，人類終於發現了最適合人類嬰幼兒使用的食物了！多家配方奶公司宣稱新添加的營養素，它都擁有。它含有數倍於其他產品的營養素種類，完整的營養成份讓您永不遺憾嬰兒沒有吃到何種必要的營養素。同時更有整套的產品，滿足從新生兒起到幼兒期不同時期之營養需求；不論早產兒或足月兒，都有最適合的產品。長期追蹤發現，食用該產品的嬰幼兒其視力及智力發展較食用其他產品之嬰幼兒好，而且這樣的優勢一直維持到青春期以上。這項產品中還含有對抗對母親嬰兒所在環境中病菌的抗體、白血球、及活細胞等，研究證實此產品中的抗感染因子因含有特別的分泌成份，在嬰兒腸胃道內並不會被破壞，可發揮其功用。 歐美先進國家的多年研究皆發現，食用該產品的嬰幼兒較少腹瀉、呼吸道感染、中耳炎、嬰兒猝死症；較少過敏，症狀較輕且較晚出現；兒童期糖尿病、甚至癌症的機會都有可能減少。 這樣的產品和其他產品比較起來價格十分便宜，各階層的父母都買得起。然而正由於它的便宜，沒有利潤可得，所以沒有一家配方奶公司願意販賣，一般民眾很少看得到它的廣告。因此，在台灣嬰兒一個月大時使用該產品的父母不過百分之四十不到，而且多數使用該產品者仍不知道其營養之完整性，還添加其他產品給嬰兒食用，使其特性及對嬰兒的助益無法發揮極致(完全使用該產品的只有百分之五)。 一個隨手可得，含有所有您想像得到的營養，可以讓您的孩子更聰明，可以抵抗外來病菌(例如前一陣子流行的腸病毒)，這樣的產品在台灣卻被大多數的人們棄之不用，只因為沒有廠商可以獲利，沒有人肯為它做廣告。然而，它對嬰幼兒的影響卻是一輩子的。您想給您的孩子最好的嗎？您希望幾年後您不會遺憾嗎？那麼就從嬰兒一出生起，給他最好的 — 母乳。 陳昭惠 2000/12 原文載於http://www.bfvghtc.org/ 附註: 世界衛生組織1990年建議： 嬰兒應在出生後到一小時內開始哺餵母乳。 應完全哺餵母乳四到六個月，不需使用配方奶。 在逐漸增加固體食物及杯子餵食後，應持續哺餵母乳到孔子兩歲或兩歲以上。 世界衛生組織2002年將添加嬰兒副食品時間修正為6個月後

兒童卡通，兒童不宜？ Thursday, May 17 2007

http://www.focf.org/article.cfm?ED_MenuItemID=1110&ED_ArticleID=198

惡夢（nightmare）對我來說，是從小的”好朋友”。

我很會做惡夢。

別人我不知道，可對我來說，

現在的”卡通片”可是一點都不”卡通”了。

難過又遺憾…

以前那些”可愛”的影片跑哪兒去了？

現在的”卡通片”充其量真的只是”animation”＿＿

改成動畫的”兒童不宜”罷了。

那天魯克鴨說他終於看了小紅帽的故事。

（因為治療中有提到這個故事，所以他要”瞭解一下”…）

『怎麼有這麼恐怖的東西？！哪叫兒童故事啊！』

我一點都想不起來哪一段”兒童不宜”了？？

『小紅帽的奶奶竟然把大野狼開膛破腹後又把他縫回去…怎麼這麼恐怖！』

我在床上滾來滾去笑到不行。『這叫恐怖？』

魯克鴨老是說我小時候都看”怪片”，難怪一天到晚做惡夢，我一直很不屑。

我常很驚訝那些對一般小孩子來說再熟悉不過的”童話故事”，

他竟然每次給我擺出一副”妳在說什麼？”的表情。

老實說一開始我很”同情”他：『你有沒有童年啊？』

不過現在越想越不對…

別人我不敢說，

我知道對一個”孩子”來說（其實對大人也是一樣），

外界的資訊很容易在”不知不覺”中內化。

我想，我的惡夢和我看過的fairy tales，很有關係！

Lila Rose: Fighting for the Unborn Thursday, May 17 2007

 

Lila Rose, 18, is a sophomore at UCLA and the founder of Live Action, a pro-life organization on campus. In March, she visited a Planned Parenthood clinic in Los Angeles armed with a hidden camera, posing as a 15-year-old who had been impregnated by her 23-year-old boyfriend.

Though California law requires abortion providers to report all cases of statutory rape to the police, a staff member at Planned Parenthood instructed Lila to lie about her age so she could protect her boyfriend and go through with an abortion.
