Experts point out, however, that there is a difference between an elective cesarean, in which the doctor and mother are deciding when a baby will emerge from the womb, and a labor-induced delivery, which can occur any time after 37 weeks and in which the baby is initiating the process. "In a vaginal delivery, that baby instigated the labor, and is therefore ready and can be healthy at 37 weeks," says Dr. Catherine Spong, chief of the pregnancy and perinatology branch at NICHD and one of the co-authors of the paper. These results also do not apply...
...schedule their next c-section delivery before 39 weeks of gestation, the safety cutoff recommended by the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG). ACOG's guideline is based on studies showing that prior to 39 weeks, babies' lungs are often too undeveloped to function properly outside the womb, and babies at this age tend to have difficulty regulating their blood sugar. In the trial, led by Dr. Alan Tita at UAB and published in this week's New England Journal of Medicine, babies delivered at 37 weeks by elective C-section were twice as likely as those born...
...Benevolent Manufacturing State was the self-funded, full-employment, womb-to-tomb society - for autoworkers, auto executives, their families and their communities - that Henry Ford began in 1914 when he hiked the prevailing $3-a-day wage to $5. "Fordism" outraged capitalists; Ford viewed it as a way to make cars affordable to working people. His people. The industry sputtered during the Depression, an era that gave rise to the unions, but was revived by wartime production as Detroit's manufacturing capacity became a vital weapon in the Allies' arsenal. Detroit reshaped America, spurring a great migration from the South...
...sounds of Ottorino Respighi’s “The Pines of Rome.” Its narrative framework, to the extent that there is one, is fleeting. Conner takes pains to thwart any clear interpretation, but motifs of modern warfare, performitivity, the Freudian return to the womb, and the sex and death drives all figure heavily in “A Movie.”It’s difficult, well-nigh impossible, to summarize satisfactorily the vision or intention behind any of Conner’s films. The closest one can come, it seems, is to describe...
...born of patriarchal society. A culture focused on women’s needs, they argue, would instead focus on both promoting and rewarding motherhood. This stance, however, assumes that a female’s most important societal function is anatomically determined: In essence, that she should serve as a womb and a mother before she should act as a holistic human being. By stooping to the level of biological essentialists, organizations like the FFL bolster the idea of an intangible “feminine mystique” and pervert conceptions of modern womanhood...
