Pregnancy clinics 'should be set up in schools'



Hello everybody today I speak about an article of if pregnancy clinics 'should be set up in schools'.
National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence wants midwives to advise young mothers in school.
There are many opinions about this issue, exist controversial postures because some people say that is the way how the teenage pregnancy increase and others say that is the way how we can help and provide a heath service. The evidence shows that pregnant women under 20 often feel excluded from mainstream antenatal care and judged by their peers, so we need help to these women’s. But the critics said the idea could "normalize" teenage pregnancy and increase the problem.
Other factor that promote help this women`s is that young women aged under 20 may be reluctant to recognize their pregnancy or inhibited by embarrassment and fear of parental reaction, so this promote that the women`s can revives few information and may can do prejudicial acts.
Norman Wells, director of the family Education Trust, think that in the school is not the perfect place for give this care antenatal and the school is a place for imparting knowledge and teaching children to think in a rational and logical way, this is the objective of the school, and is not correct shoulder the burden of problems created by a permissive society in the school, because is not the objective.
Actually some 40,000 births per year happen in women under the age of 20 although there are no exact figures on how many of these access antenatal care and The risk of stillbirth and a baby dying in the first six weeks of life is also around twice as high for women from deprived backgrounds.
So the controversial point is latent in the society and there are varieties of opinions. In my opinion the idea of give care antenatal in the school can may normalize this situation, but we need found the way how doing this out of the school because is very necessary for the young women`s.
