Making Celebrities Out of Teen Moms How Genuine Is It?

Monday, May 23, 2011 0 comments
MTV’s Teen Mom 16 and Pregnant is a program basically meant to spread awareness against the evils and difficulties of teen pregnancy. Teen pregnancy is a genuine issue that needs to be discussed so that more teens may save themselves from the burden of motherhood at very early and immature age.

However, how genuine it is for Network channels to make personalities out of underage mothers?

This is a burning question. Another burning question is, in spite of their good cause, are MTV’s popular program Teen Mom 16 and Pregnant really doing the job of reducing the numbers of teenage pregnant by informing them about the problems involved? Or are they doing just the opposite work of promoting teen pregnancy and making it a popular fashion?

Some people believe that such shows like Teen Mom should be taken off from the air.

While commenting about ’16 and Pregnant, Lisa Lupner said, “It does no good-only promotes more teen pregnancy. It's sad the way these kids are being made famous for being irresponsible, and they will only be famous for their 15 min. then it's over. Then who's going to pay their bills?”

Her concerns are absolutely right and the current happening with Jordan Ward proves it.

Jordan Ward was 16 years old when she got pregnant first time. She gave birth to a son who is now 17-months-old and his name is Noah.

Her pregnancy was aired on MTV and she discussed about the burdens and problems she may face, she messaged that teens should avoid irresponsible sex activities and should about teen or early age pregnancies. However, just after 17 months, she is pregnant again. Obviously, her words don’t match with her deeds.

She is not the first Teen Mom who is facing pregnancy within a short period. Prior to her, Markai Durham also got pregnant for second time after her pregnancy was featured on the MTV’s show 16 and Pregnant.

However, Markai decided to abort her second child. She was certainly not in a position to provide suitable living conditions for second child.

One of the most troublesome issues for the society of the United States is teenage pregnancy. A lot many US teens get pregnant every year and they become single mother with little or no support. Obviously they lead a oblivious, poor and distressed lives. More problems occurs for their children as they never get the security of a family.

Many people have said that they hate this show; all it is doing is showing teenage girls that it’s okay to go out and get pregnant. It can land you on TV. Today’s society is totally different than it used to be”.

I just think it’s all pathetic.

It is hard to believe that teen girls are willingly becoming ready to be a baby producer outside marriage with no certainty of future. However, the case of Jordan Ward is certainly different.

When she got pregnant for the first time, she wasn’t married, she was underage, she was single and teen.

Yet now, she is neither a minor nor underage, nor is she a single. She is a married adult of age 18 and her husband is a linguist in the US Air Force.

However, is it right for a girl to be a mother of two children at the age of 18 years? I don’t think any sensible citizen of the United States will dream for a similar future for their daughters.

What if pregnancy brings your daughter, name, fame and glamor? MTV is doing exactly that.

How to Breastfeed a Newborn

Wednesday, May 18, 2011 0 comments

As a young pregnant woman enters the latter stages of her pregnancy, she becomes conscious about the changes that occur in her body and life. It is not easy to raise a child, but it certainly is rewarding.
A pregnant woman often try to know as more as she can about raising a healthy child. She looks for every book in her local library to know everything that may help her in caring a baby, changing diapers and breastfeeding.

Importance of breast feeding

Breast milk is naturally formulated for a newborn’s digestive system. It is rich in antibodies which help the child to fight against viruses and bacteria and hence, breast milk is not only the most nutritious food for a newly born child, it actually is a life-giving medicine for the child. A mother’s breast milk is so naturally adjusted with the child that in the course of child development, the composition of her milk changes to adapt with the nutritional necessities of the developing baby.

If it is the first time for the woman to be a mother, breastfeeding techniques will be the vital new skills she will have to learn. However, breastfeeding is not something that one can learn by reading some book or guidelines. Breast feeding is a natural act that a mother and her baby need to learn together just after the infant takes birth.

According to doctors and experts, breast feeding should commence within the two hours of a baby’s birth. A newly born child may take 80 percent or 4/5th of the feed within the first ten minutes of breast feeding and then the baby may suckle mother’s breast for another few minutes. Babies need to be fed whenever they demand. A newly born baby may require to be fed after every two or three hours and during every feed period, a mother may need to invest 10 to 40 minutes. Every expert and pediatrician will recommend breast feeding till a baby is at least six months old, however, it will add to good health of the baby if a mother keep breast feeding him or her for longer periods. There are no specific technical steps that you need to learn before you may ably breast feed your infant.

According to gynecologist Dr. Suman Bijlani, a woman is not required to do anything special to get herself ready for breast feeding. Dr Bijlani says, "No massaging of breast or nipple stretching exercises are needed during pregnancy. Be ready with breastfeeding accessories like nursing bras, breast pads and breast pumps. It is a good idea to get adequate and correct information regarding breastfeeding from your doctor or even attend antenatal lactation sessions. This gives you confidence, which is the best preparation a mother can have."

Benefits of breast feeding

The simplest, most healthy and natural way to feed your infant is breast feeding. Breast milk contains the appropriate mix of nutrients like proteins with perfect equilibrium of amino acids, sugars, fats, water, vitamins, minerals, antibodies and enzymes for your newly born child.

Breast milk boosts a baby’s immunity and offer protection for your infant against diarrhea, respiratory infections, ear infections and many more illnesses. A baby enjoying breast feed will show lower chances of diabetes, allergic conditions and obesity while he will also enjoy better cognitive and physical development.
Breast feeding is a natural and effective birth control method. If a woman hasn’t got her period in a time less than six months post her delivery and if she is solely breastfeeding her child, then she is 98 percent protected from another pregnancy.

Breast feeding produces such situations close to her womb that comforts the baby and makes them feel safe and protected. Breastfeeding is also beneficial for mothers because it decreases the amount of blood loss after delivery to a significant degree.

The following breast feeding tips may help a young mother and her child

  • Both mother and baby should be in a comfortable position. While breastfeeding, keep the body and neck of the baby in a straight line.
  • The body of baby should be held close to her own body by the mother at right angles. The right way is to bring the baby towards your breast rather than bringing your breasts towards the infant.
  • Proper positioning will help you latch the baby easily. A mother should encourage the infant to suckle on the surrounding breast tissues along with the nipples.
  • As the skin of a baby comes in contact with the skin of his/her mother after delivery, the baby gets stimulated with natural instincts to search for the breasts.
  • Feed your infant frequently with breast milk because it will ensure ample breast stimulation to continue good milk production and flow.
  • A mother should try to keep her breasts empty either by feeding her child frequently or by pumping out the milk. This helps the mother to maintain milk flow and it also helps her in preventing health problems like painful lumps in the breasts.

Teenage Pregnancy and Issues related with Teen Moms

Sunday, May 8, 2011 0 comments
Teen pregnancy is one such issue which is common to both the developing world and the developed industrialized countries. However, the reason for teen pregnancy is different in different cases. In developing countries of Asia and specially in Indian sub-continental countries (India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Nepal et all) teen pregnancies often occurs within married relationships as these countries still suffer social problems such as child marriages.

On the other hand, in industrialized countries such as the USA, UK, France, Italy or Switzerland, the main reason for teen pregnancy is high sexual involvements of teens in unmarried relationships.

The United States suffers with the highest rate of teen pregnancy in the developed world. Recently, at the occasion of the United States National Day for Prayers, MTV renewed its fourth season of Teen Mom, which is an initiative to spread awareness about the issues and problems related with teen moms in general.

According to the Center for Disease Control in the United States, one-third or 33% of American girls get pregnant before the age of 20.

The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy maintains a website teenpregnancy.org to provide relevant information about the issues and according to the site, the United States faces "750,000 teen pregnancies annually. Eight in ten of these pregnancies are unintended and 81 percent are to unmarried teens."

Teen moms often suffer social stigmata and that increases the risk for babies born to teenage mothers. They faces major long lasting problems in many areas such as schooling failure, mental and physical illness and poverty.

Teen moms also suffer similar risks. Proper studies on teen moms reveal certain facts about teen pregnancy:
  • Teen mothers often drop out of high school
  • They often are and remain single parents
  • Teen moms score lower in math, science and reading into adolescence
Teen pregnancy is often considered as a huge crisis for the pregnant girl along with her family. She often suffers anger, guilt, and denial. If the father of such child is also a teen, he also suffers similar reactions in his family.


However, in most of the cases, teen mothers are found to be engaged with elder men of age at least 6 or more years more than their own ages.


Adolescent moms often fail to attain proper medical care during pregnancy period and that increases the risks for medical complications. It is necessary to provide special understanding, education, and medical care along with information about nutrition, substance abuse, infections, and complications of pregnancy and delivery.

Teen moms should be taught about dangers of using tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs as this may damage the foetus in their womb. All pregnant teens should also be provided with medical care beginning right from their early pregnancy.

Often teen moms remain uncertain about their role and responsibilities for their child, as a result, babies of teenage mothers often suffer risk of neglect and abuse.

Teenage mothers often get frustrated because of the regular demand of caretaking for their child. Their frustration further increases because mostly they remain single parents.

Teen girls should be educated about contraception and their proper usage because education about contraceptives leads them to use contraception while having sex.


However, sex education and information about contraceptives doesn’t cause any negative effect by lowering the age at their first sexual activities.

How to Prevent Teen Pregnancies

Many teen girls remain excited about their sexual life and how to start it. If you are about to involve in a sexual relation, the best way is to attain all possible information about different types of contraceptives as the usage of proper contraceptive will reduce chances of unwanted pregnancy.

According to the Public Health Agency of Canada, 25 percent of young teens who have intercourse without a proper contraceptive are likely to become pregnant within a month.

Parents are required to get involved with their teen children and to discuss about sex and contraceptives.
