Communication of mourningThe loss of the child after the 25th week or birth:
what methods of communication with the mother and the copy in the early stages of mourning

Mourning is an emotional response and physiological processes related to change if the latter suffered a loss.

Mourning is a path that is divided into several phases, in which the variables of the emotions are directly proportional to the value that each of us gives what he has lost. It can happen, for example, that the spontaneous fetal death of a child unwanted lead in parents more pain relief .. The same is true of a malformed child or disabled person. This occurs even if the parents were aware and had agreed to keep it.

Before getting into specific, which will be the theme of loss of communication, I think it is appropriate to obtain an overview of possible biopsychic and emotional context of the women with whom we deal and to which we will communicate that have lost their baby during pregnancy or shortly after birth.

It should be borne in mind that pregnancy is a very special woman. There is naturally a consideration that even remotely resembles the!
E ‘in place in all his being a change, a profound transformation that makes it unique. It is not a weak woman or weakened due to pregnancy, and should not be considered and treated as such.

Why vaccinate your child

Why vaccinate your childVaccinations are one of the greatest achievements of medicine and were considered the discovery that, throughout human history, has brought benefits second only to those derived from drinking water. Childhood vaccinations are very important because they represent the first action brought prior to your child, to eliminate the risk of dangerous infectious diseases. Vaccinate children means being part of an action brought in the world by the World Health Organization.

The ultimate goal of vaccination is to be able to decrease the incidence of very serious diseases or even to make them disappear (smallpox, a terrible disease and now forgotten, nor the most concrete example).

The human body protects itself against infectious disease by producing antibodies, substances that neutralize the “infectious agents” is what happens “naturally” when one is struck for the first time an infectious disease. The principle on which is based vaccination is to induce the production of antibodies against specific diseases (ie to mimic what happens in kind) so that if the individual was infected with the microbe causing the disease, is able to defend themselves.

The vaccines are made by the same agents that cause disease, rendered harmless through highly sophisticated systems. Also, not everyone knows that vaccinations are not limited to protecting the individual child is vaccinated, but are a beautiful example of protection of “community”. In fact, with the vaccination of a large number of children forms a strong barrier, which hinders the movement of the microbe. This mechanism (“herd immunity”) may lead to a dramatic reduction of cases of illness and sometimes even the disappearance of the disease, as happened with smallpox and polio as is happening to. Moreover, the protection of “community” also protects the few children who can not be vaccinated because they suffer from serious diseases where vaccination is not recommended, or who have not responded well to vaccination, or have not yet been vaccinated at the behest of parents. So if all we decide to vaccinate, we also protect those who could not be vaccinated because they have major health problems (take for instance children with a serious disorder of the immune system, a tumor, etc.).
