Testis Descent
Data from a study of male human fetal (between
10 and 35 weeks) gonad position
•10 to 23 weeks - (9.45%) had migrated from the
abdomen and were situated in the inguinal canal.
•24 to 26 weeks - (57.9%) had migrated from the
abdomen.
•27 to 29 weeks - (16.7%) had not descended to
the scrotum.
WHAT THE PEOPLE THINK ABOUT..

VAGINAL DELIVERY
Vaginal Delivery, a Facilitator of Women’s Physical and
Mental Health Promotion

Vaginal Delivery, a Safe Mode of Delivery

The participants believed that vaginal delivery led to minor complications and is not associated
with problems of C-section such as back pain, pain/infection/irritation/or itching at the incision
site, forgetfulness, death, or anesthesia-related complications. 
Vaginal Delivery, a Natural
Process
The results of this study showed that vaginal delivery is a symbol of joy and birth. What
distinguishes labor pain from other types of pain is the pleasant ending, which makes vaginal
delivery more acceptable

"Vaginal delivery is giving birth, is happiness and comfort. Although you feel so much pain, in the
end, the pain ends in happiness. Vaginal delivery means birth; it is a good feeling.” 
C-SECTION
C-Section, a Procedure
Associated with Future
Complications
Participants, in favor of vaginal delivery, believed that active maternal role during labor helps
mothers form an enduring bond with their infants. They assumed that C-section deprives
mothers of such feelings, since they do not experience the pain associated with vaginal delivery.
C-Section, a Painless Mode of
Delivery
Some pregnant women described C-section as”the last resort”. They beleived that in case of
contraindications to vaginal delivery, performing C-section would be inevitable for the mother
and fetus.

"In my opinion, C-section is the last resort. When there is absolutely nothing else that we can do
and there is no other way to save the preganncy, we should choose C-section.” (Pregnant woman,
26 years old, bachelor’s degree, first pregnancy, in favor of vaginal delivery
 EXPERT’S OPINION
"People think that vaginal delivery causes pelvic floor disorders, unlike cesarean
section. I always tell mothers that pregnancy and its hormonal changes cause
pelvic problems, regardless of the mode of delivery; this is why I prefer vaginal
delivery.” (A gynecologist, 52 years old, 15 years of work experience, experience
of vaginal delivery)
NUTRITION PREPARATION
1. NUTS AND SEEDS
Sunflower Seeds are rich in Vitamin E, which is great for tissue softness, progesterone
function, and makes up a portion of the nutrients found in amniotic fluid. Low Vitamin E levels
are associated with preterm labor. Like the other nuts and seeds, they are also rich in minerals
(magnesium, copper), but these seeds also have high amounts of B vitamins (B6 and Folate),
which helps create healthy blood. I like sunflower seed butter more than peanut butter.

Almonds are also very rich in Vitamin E, and minerals (magnesium, potassium, copper). They
also provide rich amounts of EFA's especially Linoleic acid, which necessary for prostaglandin
production. Almonds are also beneficial to those with gestational diabetes or insulin resistance.
Research shows that phytochemicals in almonds decrease blood sugar spikes after meals.
2. SWEET POTATO
Nutritionally Sweet Potatoes/Yams have high amounts of Vitamin A (hence the color), Vitamin C,
B Vitamins (B6), and minerals (potassium, phosphorus).

3. BANANA
Bananas have always been known for their potassium levels (white potatoes actually have
more.), but they also have good amounts of B Vitamins and Vitamin C. Pre-eclampsia is a concern as
we get closer to labor. B Vitamins, Potassium and Magnesium are known to reduce pre-eclampsia
symptoms
