Summary Introduction
To explain: The type of defect that is more than twice risk to occur in the multiple-births than in single newborns.
Concept introduction: During the gestation period, the mother can have single birth or multiple births. Single birth is where only one fetus is carried during the gestation period in the womb. Multiple births are where more than one fetus is carried during the gestation period such as twins, triplets, quadruplets, and more. Carrying more than one fetus in the womb results in the insufficient supply of nutrient to the developing fetus. These fetuses become still-born or born with abnormalities.

# Question 1.
When comparing the United States with other countries similar to our own, the U.S. has one of the highest unintended pregnancy rates. To reduce the unintended pregnancy rate, we need to increase the intended pregnancy rate. In order to increase the intended pregnancy rate, we need to have an understanding of the intersecting circumstances that may impact an individual’s ability to plan a future pregnancy.
Discuss what do you think we need to take into consideration in someone’s lived experiences to understand how we can support an individual’s ability to plan a future pregnancy??

- Birth Defects and Multiple Births A woman who carries multiple offspring at the same time increases the risk of some birth defects. FIGURE 42.18 shows the results of Yiwei Tang's study of birth defects reported in Florida from 1W6 to 2000. Tang compared the incidence of various defects among single and multiple births. She calculated the relative risk for each type of defect based on type of birth, and corrected for other differences that might increase risk such as maternal age, income, race, and medical care during pregnancy. A relative risk of less than 1 means that multiple births pose less risk of that defect occurring. A relative risk greater than 1 means multiples are more likely to have a defect. FIGURE 42.18 Prevalence, per 10,000 live births, of various types of birth defects among multiple aria single births. Relative risk for each defect is given after researches adjusted for the motor's age, race, previous adverse pregnancy experience, education, Medicaid participation during pregnancy, as well as the infant's sex and number of siblings. 4.

- During pregnancy, how does malnutrition during critical periods of development affect the fetus? Group of answer choices When the development of an organ is impaired, the damage is irreversible. If the development of the heart is impaired in the early stages, it can be reversed if good nutrition is provided after the critical period. Malnutrition does not affect the fetus but has adverse effects on the mother's health. Malnutrition does not cause dental problems as teeth develop after the baby is born. A surplus of nutrients taken after the critical period will make up for a deficit caused at any time during development.arrow_forward_______ Which of the following statements is incorrect? a. Rates of preterm delivery and low birth-weight in the United States are trending downward but remain higher in non-Hispanic Black American women and infants than in other groups. b. Reductions in the proportion of infants born small, early, or both would clearly decrease infant mortality. c. The international ranking of the United States for infant mortality rate has been improving since the beginning of the twenty-first century. d. National health objectives for pregnant women and newborns focus on the reduction of low birth-weight, preterm delivery, and infant mortality.arrow_forwardZ1arrow_forward
