My Son's Birth Story
Pregnancy and birth are unique processes in a mother's life. There is no description of feelings and beauties experienced during pregnancy; indeed, to give birth is also very special. Pregnancy is a process and a perfect way to grow a living. Three years after I decided to be a mother, I got pregnant with my baby. I have had a healthy and beautiful pregnancy, but my baby has never settled in the birth canal, officially he was laid in my abdomen sideways in recent months. I made the necessary preparations to make natural childbirth, so I paid attention to my diet, I did regular sports, did not interrupt the controls.
After the birth process started, I had severe pain for about 6 hours and waited for my baby to return to the essential position. As a result of the labor, the pain started, and the baby wasn't in the canal, then we decided on an emergency c-section with my doctor. I was awake with epidural anesthesia because I wanted to touch and see my baby after birth. My husband and mother waited outside because no spouses were taken to the operating room. Seeing my son's face, hearing his first cry, and the doctor helped us to hug was incredibly beautiful moments. I still feel his warmth on my face.


Decades ago, my parents were born with the help of a midwife in their house. They went to the doctor when there was an abnormality. Usually make the necessary scans before a planned pregnancy, and mothers enrolled in the health center in Turkey. A nurse follows each pregnant and records the information. Apart from this, there are regular visits to the doctor every month, it is straightforward to reach the doctor and modern medicine, and it is free in public hospitals. The government has made serious efforts to reduce maternal and child mortality and support natural birth.

    This was nice to read. I think that hospitals have eliminated midwifes, but they are great to have and the cost is probably significantly cheaper. This was a nice birthing story.

    I truly appreciate you sharing your birthing story and I truly have admiration for your ability to endure the pain in order to attempt to have a natural birth. There were many of my friends who attempted the natural birth process, however wanted an epidural immediately when the pain began. I'm very happy to hear about the governments effort to reduce mortality rates.

Issues and Trends in the Early Childhood Field

-
    Issues and Trends in the Early Childhood Field   Faster than we ever thought: the first years of a child’s life set the stage for all future growth. In the earliest years of life, especially from pregnancy to age three, babies need nutrition, protection, and stimulation for healthy brain development. Recent advances in neuroscience provide new evidence about a baby’s brain development during this time. As a result, we know that in their earliest years, babies’ brains form new connections at an astounding rate – according to Harvard University’s Center on the Developing Child, more than 1 million every single second – a pace never repeated again (UNICEF, 2017).  POVERTY is one of the biggest problems disturbing the education system of the countries. When families live in poverty, it becomes impossible for the next generations of that family to get out of this situation. With early childhood education, young ages from low-income families get a q...

Nonviolent Communication and Conflict Management

-
  O'Hair and Wiemann (2012) say conflict is "inevitable" (p. 220). Conflicts are something that happens in every communication, sometimes easily overcome or sometimes not resolved. The less fight in human life, the more peaceful it will be. Of course, it is almost impossible to avoid this. A conflict I have encountered recently may have some communication problems in my family with my teenage son. My 14-year-old son's school offers them virtual or in-person education. My son wants to participate in virtual learning activities from home some days. Some days, under our forcing, he goes to school and gets training face to face. We support him in getting an education by going to school so he can socialize at school. He has recently been volunteering to participate in virtual education because he can play online games during training breaks (lunch, physical education, recess). He cannot manage his time at all when he played computer games. I tried to explain this situa...

Expanding Horizons and Expanding Resources

I am not a good podcast listener, I have listened to English podcast when I was learning English, but I hope to turn my routine into habits with this lesson. In my researches, https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-early-childhood-research-podcast/id1039178520 apple's podcasts caught my attention, and I found works on a wide range of topics in early childhood. The website that I decided to look at is the NAEYC website. I chose this website to have general knowledge about my field, to access information quickly, and to keep the developing resources under control. For this, we must continuously check. This website gives us a lot of awareness for our career and why we do our job. Also, this website provides us with positivity and encouragement during all trial periods we encounter every day.
