Prenatal Health

I think that the most important aspects of prenatal healthcare for mom and baby is confidence and less stress. Studies have shown that over half of pregnant women dislike their appearance.

40% do love their body and that acceptance is not only good for women's mental health, it's good for their babies. Research has shown a clear relationship between infant birth weight and maternal weight gain, and most women are now encouraged to gain at least 24 pounds.

Good Prenatal Health

I think that a healthy mom knows the right way to take care of herself and her unborn baby with the proper diet. She should stay away from all unhealthy foods such as herbal tea, alchol, white bread, liver, vegetable sprouts, etc. If they stay away from these foods while they are pregnant their baby has a better chance of not contracting birth defects while in the womb. Smoking is the biggest thing to stay away from while you are pregnant because what the mother takes in the baby is also eating it. Any kind of drug that you buy should be avoided. Although there are some prenatal vitamins that you can take such as folic acids, prenatal multivitamin, etc. The most important aspect of prenatal healthcare for mom and the baby is Lots of confidence and no stress. If these are avoided the baby will be happy and so will the mother.

Prenatal Health .

When your pregnant, staying healthy is the most important thing. You need to attend your prenatal tests, such as an ultrasound to check on the fetal development. You also need to take your prenatal vitamins, which include folic acid, prenatal multi vitamins, and minerals including calcium and iron. Your need to be prepared to have physical activity, so you can prevent excess weight gain, to control your blood sugar and high blood pressure, it can help prevent or reduce most pregnancy symptoms(nausea, heartburn, leg crams, etc) it will decrease your recovery time after you deliver your baby, helps with labour and delivery by improving your indurance, it could reduce depression, it will increase your self esteem and finally it will increase your overall fitness and strength. Also, durning your pregnancy, your nutrition changes, because you aren't just feeding yourself anymore, your also feeding you child. Your need 2-3 extra Food Guide Servings each day, you need more iron, more essential fatty acids such as fish, walnuts, flax seeds and olive olive to help your child's brain develop, you need 3.0L of fluid everyday from both foods and beverages, limit your caffeine intake and avoid herbal teas. When your pregnant, you should be gaining weight, your baby will add 6-8 pounds extra, and your total weight gain by nine months should be anywhere from 25-35 extra pounds. Finally, the dont's of pregnancy. When your pregnant, it is important to stay away from second-hand smoke, and smoking yourself, if you are around/doing either, it increases your baby's chances of asthma or bronchitis, a risk of low birth weight, chance of a stillbirth, risk of SIDS, physical defects, risk of lung cancer and heart disease, and raises the risk of ear infections. Also, drugs can be dangerous if taken during pregnancy, over the counter, and illegal drugs, they can both also cause low birth weight, SIDS, miscarriages, still births, prematurity and more! The key to this, is to talk to your doctor, and find out what the best way to keep you and your baby healthy durning the nine months or pregnancy.

Prenatal Health.. (:

During Pregnancy women dislike their body because they have been struggling with their weight already and are frightened and worried about being able to loose it. I say.. why bother worrying? Pregnancy is a beautiful thing, sure you won't have your prefect body anymore but you are carrying a miracle inside you. There are many harmful factors during pregnancy, but i think that the worst ones are poor nutrition, tobacco and medication/prescription drugs. Poor nutrition can lead to your child being over or under weight and could cause a mental illness. Who would carry a baby for so long and allow that to happen to something they care so much about? Pregnant women should be taking prenatal vitamins and be taking suppliments for iron, calcium and folic acid. Being around tobacco or around people who smoke and lead to your child having a chance of being premature, suffer from S.I.D.S, lung cancer and more. Parents or unborn child should stay away from all that. People who are pregnant should be aware of things they can eat and what they can't. They should be aware of what is harmful to their child and what they need to be healthy.Women who are pregnant should be exercising more and keeping inshape. It helps because for those who are worried about weight gain won't gain the extra they don't need. It will help the mother recover faster if she is inshape more. It will increase their self esteem and won't put them into postpartum depression. Who wants depression after they bring a miracle into the world? It should be a happy time not a time where you are panicky and filled with fear.

the dos and donts of pregnancy

I think that the proper nutrition of a mother expecting a child is to eat healthy and to respect the life within her, when a mother is exercising she is to be aware that too much exercise can lead to her being dehydrated and could collapse harming the baby, taking prenatal tests can ensure that you know that your baby is healthy and that the baby doesn't have any diseases, some things NOT to do are take DRUGS (perscription or illegal) or DRINK ALCOHOL, my opinion to this is very strongly agreeing with this if i was married and was having a child i would wants whats best for my child.

Good Parent

to be a good parent you need to be all around ready.... not just financially or emotionally. you need to have the right amount of discipline and be able to understand well as they get older. parents do need to spoil their children too but not so they whine when they don't get their way. parents also need to teach their children right from wrong and all the bad things about this world. but over all parents need to love and care for their child(ren) unconditionally to be a good parent.

What makes a good parent is someone who WANTS to parent. If they don't even like children or want to have a relationship with their child then the kid will grow up alone, which isn't fair. You also need to have love and support for the child, even as they get into teen and adult years. Children cost a lot of money, so of coruse you're going to need money to raise them. They are not cheap! Thinking that having a baby will bring you and your spouse closer is wrong. In fact, it probably brings you more apart. It involves a lot work and you may not get a lot of time with eachother..so how will that help? In order to have a kid I would think that you should know a littl bit about children. There's information that can be passed down from the family, there's books and there's your own personal knowledge and experience. To know if you're a good parent or not, I would just use you're own judgement, if you feel you're not ready for kids; then don't have them. If you are ready then go ahead. :)

Good Parenting

I don’t think you can just be a good parent as soon as you have a child. I think that being a good parent is a title that one earns after their time and experience of actually having one. You can be as ready and prepared as you can be, but that won't necessarily make you a good parent. But with that aside, responsibility is key. I can almost guarantee that if someone is responsible, they would become a good parent.

Some examples of being responsible and prepared before having a child is actually thinking through it; the right and wrong reasons to have a baby. You must mentally (or on paper) go through the check list of Prepareness (readiness and pychological maturity) and list of Wrong Reasons (Are you trying to prove adulthood? Please someone else? For emotional benefits? For respect and status? Escape? Society expects it? Improve your relationship? Be like everyone else?). Be honest to yourself. Don't answer more highly or lowly of what you'd think. Your baby deserves it. You should think of the child first and most. Are you understanding? Advisable but has a backbone? Do you think you will stand your ground but imposes them positively?

More importantly, think of how your treat your parents or siblings. Chances are, that could be how you will treat your child. If you're impatient, a child may not be the best idea.

Part of being a good parent can be from having a stable relationship with your partner. There will be less stress weighing on one adult (or small amount, but equal on both ends, if you think about it) which in a long term can prevent high blood pressure. Having a steady relationship does bring balance to the family. Most children that are brought up from parents with a stable relationship tend to be more successful as well. They won't have quite an anger issue either. Trust me, you'd need to control it if you have a baby like this one : I think that having a steady relationship not only brings your family together, it keeps your relationship together.

You don't have to be rich but having a stable income and career is one of the important qualities of being a parent - part of being responsible. A good parent recognizes whether or not they are financially ready to have a baby, to reduce troubles in their future.

What i think is a good parent.

I think that a good parent is someone who takes care of there child and helps them through the tough times in there social and emotional times of need. To be a good parent you should know the basic steps and craring that a child will need during there life. I think that the best parent would be one who is content with having children and also has a good paying job and has a good house that the child will feel loved and secure in. I think that the priorities of a parent are to love and feel for the child when they are feeling down and upset, to also be loving no matter what type of trouble they get into.

What makes a good parent?

I think what makes a good parent, is that you have discipline and that you stay incharge. You should not hit your kids and scream right infront of them. Treat them kindly, and them if they do not listen then you put your foot down. Some parents just yell and scream when the kids don't even know what they did wrong. I think that you and your spouse need to contribute to parenting, you need to talk about rules and what you are going to be doing that day. If you fail to communicate with your spouse then that is where the fighting and agruing takes place.

Being a Good Parent

I believe a good parent is a parent who loves and cares for their child. A parent who nurtures their child and protects their child. A parent who puts their child before themselves and have a happy family home. Children deserve to come into the world with loving and finacial parents. Parents should work as a team and be envolved. They should have leadership and helpful resources for their child (ex. speech therapy). Confidence is a key role in being a parent. Confidence will simply make you successful. You must show your children physical and emotional love throughout their live. Teaching your child is an important part of being a parent it is a life-long responsibility. You must help them get dressed and help them with school work. Teaching your child never ends. Parents teach their children from infants to when they are older and out of the house. Being a parent has alot of responsibilities. Discipline and punishment are also important to have as a parent. Parenthood should be a steady relationship with your spouse and your children.

What do you think makes a good parent ?

I think that to be a good parent you have to be emotionally, physically, socially, and financially ready. You have to be emotionally ready by being able to cope with the fact that you're now bringing another life into this world. A life that you have to be ready to protect. You have to be physically ready by knowing your body is never going to be the same. You have to be socially ready by being able to deal with the fact that you're not going to have any private life what so ever now. You will have to devote all you're spare time to taking care of your child. Lastly you have to be financially ready by being able to support yourself and your child. You will have to have a good job, so that you can afford food, shelter, and clothing.

What Makes a Good Parent?

Being a good parent consists of having love and care towards your child. They should have lots of support, a source of discipline and punishment, a great knowledge of understanding, give the child privacy when they get older and to have the knowledge of being a parent. Being a good parent should give the child the chance to experience life in their own way. I believe that parents are there to help you get onto the right path and make the right decisions to help keep you safe. Also with being a good parent, parents should not control the child's life.

I believe that when you are a parent, your relationship with your spouse decreases. You are now focusing your attention on the child and now have no time for each other. The way that you may parent, may be different from your spouse. Sometimes we don't agree with the parent and this may lead to divorce. The stress of being a parent is phenomenal. So when divorce occurs it adds to the stress of now being a single parent. When you have a child be prepared to fight with your spouse and to get mad at each other anytime.

If planning on being a parent be prepared to find yourself spending more than you have in your life. Children are very expensive and need your attention all the time, espically if they are new borns. The best way to be financially sound is to have a great job that covers maternity leave. With your spouse working and you getting payed unemployment, chances are you could have a chance of becoming financially sound. Although, if you do not wish to spend money on anyone other than yourself, being a parent is not right for you.

My ideal parent would consist mostly of love and care. I believe that there should also be a chance for me to be the person who i want to be and not who my parents want to be. For example, if i wanted to go to college to become a veternarian, my parent would support me in my decision and help me to get the things that i needed to start college, not tell mke that i should become an actress and move to Hollywood. My parents would be very supportive of my decision and help me to fulfill my dream.

Qualities of Good Parents

As directed, I am looking for qualities that make a good parent. From all that I see and from all of the information that I have been given. I believe that I have some kind of hold on what makes a good parent.
There are many reasons to have a baby and then there are many reasons not to. For example if your only going to have a baby to try and save your relationship it could do the exact opposite of what you want it to do. Having a baby put stress on you and your partner, so a good strong relationship is to best environment to bring a baby into. The strongest relationship has good communication, financial stability, and fully understands what you're getting into. The time and energy it will require, and the amounts of sleep you will lose. not mater what you feel like the parenting responsibilities never end, not even when you think their moved out. But yet with everything there is always more to learn, and you never know what the future holds for you.

What do I think makes a good parent? I think that a good parent consists of unconditional love towards their child. The child should always have a lovely family, a good and safe home to because they deserve it. The child should always be kept safe no matter what. The child should be played with and talked to and have clean clothes and throughout the years, be taught responsibilities and be given positive reinforcement. Children should have a parent to talk to and a friend when they need one because the bond between the parent and child will always be there no matter what the age. Parents should know that they have a huge life time commitment ahead of them when they bring a child into the world. Parents should know that children will always come first. Parents should always have confidence and show leadership. They should always think positive, even through the rough times. Before having a child, the parent should have a steady job to help provide for the child and should preferably have a significant other to help. As of discipline? I think most parents should atleast try to be an authoritative parent because it's whats best for the child's development in the long run. For parents, there is no greater accomplishment then watching their child learn and grow.

That is what i think, makes a good parent (: ☺♥

What do you think makes a good parent

What i think makes a good parent is someone who's knows a lot about kids. Also have to have a stable career/income. It would help if the parents have a stable relationship but if they don't it doesn't matter because i live with my mom and step dad and we make do with what we got. My dad helps out sometime but not all the time and me and my mom and sister are doing okay with out the help of him. Also that they take care of the kid no matter if they planed it or not it's still a child and you should love it no matter what, and so what a parent looks like it really doesn't matter has long has they are loving and caring they should be a good parent. Some of the responsibilities that a good parent should do is, Nurting Children, Protecting Children, Teaching Children, also Guiding Children. So if a parent dose all this thing they will be a good parent.

What makes you a good parent?

To me, i think being a good parent means that you have to be physically, emotionally, socially, and financially ready to support your family. You have to be emotionally ready because you have to be able to accept that you are bringing another human being into our world, and you are responsible for that child, your entire lifetime. You have to be physically ready, because the fact is, your body will never be the same after having a child. Your bikini days would be over! You also have to be socially ready, because the going out on weekends, and going on dates with your significant other, would have to slow down, and go to a stop, because of all the responsibilities you have with your baby. Finally, you have to be financially ready by having a good paying job, so you can provide not only for yourself, but for your baby.
