Austin, MDThursday, February 27, 2010 - 07:01 PMPregnancy and Prenatal HealthFamily health really starts with prenatal health. Here is when the child first has the opportunity at a healthy start and it is important for the mother to stay healthy too. Most professionals believe that prenatal health is much more than just health care during pregnancy. The health care provider is there to discuss many different issues, like nutrition and physical activity. The health care providers will also often times go over information regarding caring for the newborn child as well.The doctor or midwife will schedule the mother-to-be for her prenatal visits. As the pregnancy progresses, the mother will be asked to visit her doctor more often. Typically, in the beginning of the pregnancy, the mother will be asked to see the doctor once a month and then later

Finally, during the ninth month, the mother will need to see the doctor each week until giving birth. Families and AddictionAddiction within families can be very difficult to deal with. Some individuals develop addiction problems as a result of not having close family members or the much-needed family and friend support that others find. There are people who struggle with addiction problems and that they lost important family members at a young age and that their friends became a new type of family, in a sense, thus the reliance on addiction and fitting in with their newly found group. People who suffer from addiction or who have family members that suffer from addiction, tend to take on different roles. Unfortunately, one can stereotype these roles as the addict, the hero

The person with the addiction is obviously the center of the situation; however, the caretaker is very important because he or she tends to make all roles within the family possible. The hero tends to ignore the problem by making excuses or taking an overly positive outlook on the situation at hand. The mascots will often times make inappropriate jokes or take ?at everyone. This may bring some level of entertainment to everyone.
