- Prenatal development stages: Germinal (0–2 weeks), Embryonic (3–8 weeks), Fetal (9 weeks–birth).
- Pregnancy complications: Miscarriage, gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, preterm labor, and infections.
- Signs of pregnancy: Missed period, nausea, fatigue, breast changes, and frequent urination.
- Stages of labor and delivery: Stage 1 (Early, Active, and Transition labor), Stage 2 (Delivery of the baby), and Stage 3 (Delivery of the placenta).
- Early labor: Contractions begin and cervix dilates (0–4 cm).
- Active labor: Stronger contractions and cervix dilates (4–7 cm).
- Transition labor: Most intense, cervix fully dilates (7–10 cm).
- Stage 2: Pushing begins, and baby is delivered.
- Stage 3: Placenta delivery.
- Nutrition during pregnancy impacts both mother and child: Supports fetal development (e.g., folic acid for neural tube development) and maternal health (e.g., preventing anemia) and postnatal recovery.
Unit 2: Parenting Styles and Child Behavior
- Responsibilities of parents: Providing safety, education, emotional support, and basic needs.
- Parenting styles: Authoritarian, Permissive, and Authoritative.
