“The National Children's Study would follow more than 100,000 children, from before birth -- and, in some cases, even before pregnancy.”
Duane Alexander
“You know, when you welcome a child into the world, you witness the birth of your child, and you've been there for that nine month period, you realize that there's no doubt, there's no question that women are the stronger of the sexes. There's no doubt. Any man who had to carry a child for nine months would cave in about month or two. And then delivery, you know labor? Yeah, it's over with. So yeah, I would certainly like to explore that. Sure.”
Johnny Depp
“The hopes of the parent of a child with a birth defect, the hopes of a young man with a family history of cancer, the hopes of a couple caring for an aging parent are in some way advanced by our having this instruction book of an animal which is a model for all of those circumstances.”
Francis Collins
“Being a mother is so much more than giving birth. It takes all your time, energy, wit and strength, not to mention the wisdom and grace of God to see that that child succeeds, ... The celebrity mom is the exception to the rule as her level of strength, compassion and understanding is parallel to none. This is why we honor these mothers because they have triumphed in the spotlight and at home.”
Johnnie Walker
“Sometimes it was something like the birth of a new child in the home. Sometimes it was illness of a child.”
Philip Smith
“It is almost like giving birth to a newborn baby. I've seen this all before, but only in my mind. And now it's real.”
Tony Teixeira
“[For instance, there is a direct link between infant mortality and premature birth. Clearly the more premature an infant is when he is born, the greater likelihood of complications. In fact, according to the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services National Center for Health Statistics, complications stemming from short gestation and low birth weight are the second leading causes of infant mortality in the United States. Ironically, the advanced medical technologies used in the United States tend to increase our infant mortality rate, not decrease it. In the United States, advanced technologies and procedures have made it more practical in recent years for medical professionals to attempt to save severely premature infants. Such attempts do not always succeed, adding to the rate of infant mortality.] Resuscitation is more likely to be attempted on extremely premature babies born in the United States than in many other countries, ... The extremely premature babies on whom resuscitation is unsuccessful are then counted as infant deaths, whereas they are counted as fetal deaths when resuscitation has not been attempted.”
John Abramson
“Child birth is one of the most natural and ancient things to occur, and the fact that 95 percent (of babies) are delivered in the hospital, and a huge percent are C-sections, is rather telling to our detachment from the process.”
Aaron Wolf
“Of course you can talk to the baby after the birth and cuddle them and hold them close.”
Pat Felske
“Most of these women are returning to work anywhere from six to 12 weeks after giving birth. There isn't a lot of research out there on women's general postpartum health, and almost nothing specifically looking at working women.”
