Ask Tony Blair!! It is a discrace - only 2 places for every 20 newly qualified midwives, and yet there is a national shortage, leaving the existing midwives overworked! If only women could get the antenatal and postnatal care they deserve, so many complications could be avoided (and therefor save enough money to fund more midwives)!!

Please make an urgent Doctor's appointment NOW.  Alternatively go to an NHS Walk in centre NOW.  You really should not be waiting. \n\nEDIT\n\n(Why don't you ring and ask your midwife about this? - She will have been visiting for the first two weeks and can visit for up to 28 days.)

From a father who raised a son while married to a nurse, this is perfectly natural.  Do not worry about it.  Nursing a baby is a very close and personal thing and your body is designed so that it feels a little bit good.  It's ok.

It depends on the age of the child. Durring different ages children need different kinds of care. For infants they require lots of rest, diaper changing, bathing, feeding, changing and lots and lots of hugs and attention. For toddlers they start eating solid foods, need more chaning of clothes, need to be taught how to go to the big peoples potty, and are learning how to devlope thier motor skills. I suggest reading a parenting magazine for more defined answers.

Role of a Neonatal Nurse\nNeonatal nurses work either within specialist neonatal units (within Maternity or Children’s Hospitals) or in the community.\n\nNeonatal nurses care for new-born babies who are premature or are born sick. There are a vast number of conditions that can affect a new-born baby and require treatment from specialists within the multidisciplinary healthcare team. \n\nPremature babies have particular problems as a result of being born too soon, in particular problems as a result of being born too soon such as respiratory difficulties that can be life threatening if not treated promptly and appropriately by the specialist team. Likewise, the nutritional needs of the sick newborn and premature babies will require specialist care.\n\nThe neonatal nurse also has the important role of supporting the parents of the baby at a time when they themselves are very anxious and stressed. As far as possible, the parents and occasionally other family members are encourages to take an active role in the care of the baby

Virtually all US health insurance companies cover childbirth. \n\nFor foreign insurance companies, you'd need to check with them directly.

Because health care in the USA is NOT equal for men and women. Pregnancy and childbirth are often not covered either. Nor is any kind of gynecologic care.

~~a safe and clean environment for them to play in, adiquate napping places, a budget, plans on what the parents are required to supply and what you will supply, and depending on how many children, and what ages you plan on taking in, you may need an assistant or more.  an emergency supply of diapers for those parents who forget to bring enough for their babies... a variety supply of extra clothes for emergency situations, depending on the age of the children, an activity plan, suitable and age appropriate music, videos, books and toys that can be easily cleaned, (especially when it is cold and flu season) if you are going to have outdoor activities it would be a good idea to have a fenced in yard, a written contract between you and the parents stating what you will supply and what they will supply, including your rates in the contract, and also including charges if you have to supply the emergency diapers (to cover your costs)... plan nutritious snacks, take it easy on the sugar content and salt content. -- another form you might consider is a medical concent form with the child's dr's name and phone number on it, with permission in an emergency situation to have the child transported to the nearest hospital, and also a list of each child's medical needs, meds, allergies, etc...~~

You can improve infant mortality everywhere if you improve health services. Increase funding in hospitals, clinics and midwiferies will improve mortality rate. Having seminars and training for midwifes and also educate future mothers in caring for their children will greatly help.

NO, it's not the placenta.  It's the amnionic sac that surrounds newborn mammals.  Kittens and puppies have them as well, and so do humans, but human infants loose them before they are born.  \n\nIf you watch kittens or puppies being born the mother will lick the sac away and the licking stimulates breathing in the pup or kitten.
