Des informations basées sur plus de 40 ans de pratique en tant que sage-femme
Cet ouvrage a pour but de permettre aux jeunes ou futures grands-mères d'aujourd'hui d'accompagner leur fille, leur belle-fille ou même leur petite-fille dans l'apprentissage de leur vie de mère. Aujourd'hui, après 40 ans de pratique en tant que sage-femme, elle souhaite redonner aux mères et aux grands-mères leur place dans la vie des futures et jeunes mamans.
En effet, la complicité entre femmes qui existait auparavant a été balayée au profit du discours médical, souvent culpabilisant et angoissant. L'auteur, forte de son expérience auprès des femmes de plusieurs générations, donne des pistes pour devenir grand-mère (ou arrière-grand-mère !), en renforçant les liens intergénérationnels.
Elle délivre des conseils pour aider les jeunes femmes à passer de la supermaman à la maman sereine et fait le point sur ce qu'il faut prendre et laisser en terme de pédiatrie et de puériculture, sans prise de tête. Décomplexant et indispensable !
Un guide plein de bon sens pour prévenir le baby-blues et le burn-out maternel
EXTRAIT
Accompagner les femmes
Ce livre a pour but de permettre aux femmes de ma génération d'accompagner leur fille, leur belle-fille et pourquoi pas leur petite-fille dans l'apprentissage de leur vie de femme et de mère. Au préalable, je voudrais rendre hommage à toutes les personnes qui, de près ou de loin, m'ont permis de gagner de la maturité dans mon métier et dans l'écriture.
En premier, mes parents, ma mère surtout, qui avait comme il est souvent dit familièrement une « bonne repartie », une grande curiosité, du caractère et une grande indépendance d'esprit pour quelqu'un de sa génération. J'ai donc été bercée et formée par ses reparties et j'ai absorbé, telle une éponge, toutes ses insoumissions. Plus tard, la vie ne m'ayant pas réservé que des moments heureux, ayant dû mûrir très jeune, je me suis toujours révoltée devant les arbitraires rencontrés dès le début de mes études professionnelles, celles d'infirmière comme de sage-femme.
J'ai eu ensuite la chance de rencontrer des professionnels de qualité, ce qui m'a permis de finir de me former dans mon métier.

The book offers a comprehensive analysis of public opinion toward presidential candidate spouses over the course of three decades, drawing on multiple theoretical frameworks including the concept of "new traditionalism" and a plethora of empirical data to explore why some spouses engender greater support than others-and what these reactions reveal about the American public and the gendered nature of the American presidency. Recognizing that presidential candidate spouses are important but understudied political actors, this book provides extensive analysis of public evaluations of Bill Clinton and Melania Trump during the 2016 presidential election as well as the presidential candidate spouses in the 1992 and 2012 elections and places public reaction to these individuals in historical context. The book considers important trends in U.S. elections including party polarization from the distinctive vantage points of candidate spouses and explores the symbolic importance of historic firsts including the first African American candidate spouse and the first male candidate spouse. No other work provides a systematic exploration of public opinion towards candidate spouses as distinct political entities across the modern political era.
Sur le mont Gourougou nous fait entrer dans l'intimité d'un groupe de migrants d'Afrique noire, attendant à la frontière entre le Maroc et Melilla de pouvoir passer en Europe. Un roman étonnant qui tient autant de la fable que du récit de survie le plus réaliste.
À la frontière entre le Maroc et l'enclave espagnole de Melilla s'élève le mont Gourougou, où sont réfugiés
des centaines de migrants d'Afrique noire attendant de pouvoir poser le pied en Europe. De cette communauté improvisée, on découvre l'organisation du quotidien, les histoires échangées pour tromper l'ennui, les vices, les jeux, mais aussi la lutte pour échapper aux autorités.
Jusqu'à l'explosion de ce fragile équilibre, quand certains commerces entre hommes et femmes, tenus secrets jusque-là, sont révélés au grand jour...
Entre conte et récit de survie,
Sur le mont Gourougou est un texte puissant et sans pathos, qui évoque l'immigration africaine en Europe en donnant la parole aux migrants eux-mêmes.
On her seventh birthday, Pauline rode across the lawns on her street followed by her best friend Henry, he on the blue wooden horse, she on the red. On the seventh lawn at the top of the street, she collapsed, becoming a sudden victim of the polio outbreak of the summer of 1954.
Five years later, when In the Clear begins, she has survived, but paid a heavy price. A brace on her left leg allows her to walk, but she confines herself to her house, humiliated at the notion of being seen. Terrified by what Pauline has already suffered, her mother watches over her, forbidding her to play hockey on the ice rink her father has created in the backyard.
In the Clear alternates, chapter by chapter, between Pauline's horror-filled year in the hospital five years earlier and her struggles to adapt in the present of 1959 and 1960. At the end of the book, her triumphs in past and present come together and she is able to move forward with new friendships, a renewed bond with her mother and, most important, a new faith in herself.
Seven years ago, a night of passion lead to a child born of Drew and Prince Whit's love. When Whit dashed off in the morning, Drew believed the Prince wanted nothing to do with her, so she never bothered to reach out to let him know about his royal heir. Still, when Whit sees Drew's little Lexi years later, he has no doubt that she's his daughter, and he quickly becomes the fairy-tale prince the girl has always dreamed of. Kissing frogs in front of the school won't make your prince appear...or will it?
Julie Britton was content working in the castle at Anders Point, managing day-to-day tasks in the home of the royal family while harboring a secret crush on Prince Erik. When the prince needs a quick engagement to reassure his people and help his ailing father recover, Julie quickly finds herself on the road to being a princess, and soon after, a queen. Though she's marrying the prince she's always loved from afar, is he the same man up close? Can she love someone who is only with her for appearances?
This is a representative collection of the writings of a neglected Canadian author, William Wilfred Campbell (1858-1918). Among the 112 poems in William Wilfred Campbell: Selected Poetry and Essays are the familiar "Indian Summer" and "How One Winter Came in the Lake Region," along with many less well-known love poems, patriotic songs, and occasional poems. Some twenty manuscript pieces are published here for the first time. The notorious "Mermaid Inn" essay in which Campbell refers to the mythical nature of the cross is included, and so is the letter of self-justification that Campbell wrote-but never sent-to the editor of the Globe. Here, too, are speeches, essays published in The Week and the Ottawa Evening Journal, and significant sections from Campbells unfinished treatise on evolution, "The Tragedy of Man." By the time Campbell died on New Year's Day 1918, shifting values had begun to turn critical opinion against his work. Now William Wilfred Campbell: Selected Poetry and Essays will enable Canadians to appreciate Campbells art and to recognize his place in the development of Canadian thought.
If mobile technologies are to be effectively used in education, how do we best implement sustainable mobile solutions for teaching and learning? The aim of this handbook is to support educators and policy makers who are investing in innovations in digital education to develop effective and sustainable mobile learning solutions for higher education environments. Authors from sixteen countries across the Asia-Pacific region have collaborated to share their experiences with developing and implementing mobile learning initiatives. These projects focus on a variety of aspects of mobile learning innovation, from the trial adoption of existing social media platforms on mobile devices and the development of specialised applications or mobile learning systems, to the large-scale, interuniversity implementation of technologies and pedagogies to support mobile learning.
Each chapter addresses challenges and solutions at one or more levels of mobile learning innovation within the education system, encompassing the student perspective, the educator perspective, technical processes, policies and organisational strategy, and leadership. The book also offers a unique perspective on the integration of mobile learning innovations within the educational, political and cultural environments of Asia-Pacific countries.

Over the last 25 years, the advances in ultrasound have paralleled advances in Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). ART could not even be practiced or considered today without imaging. Ultrasound has become the most important and widely used tool in the diagnosis and treatment of infertility. Ultrasound evaluation is one of the first steps to assess the cause of infertility; the three areas of evaluation are the ovaries, uterus, and fallopian tubes. Ultrasound allows physicians to diagnose ovarian reserve but also pathologies such as polycystic ovarian syndrome, endometriosis, or other ovarian cysts that can impact fertility. The results of this initial exam immediately affect the decisions in the management of the patient's condition. When fertility treatments begin, ultrasound is used in almost any interaction with the patient in order to monitor follicular development and endometrial response; ultrasound guidance is also vital for embryo retrieval and transfer (ET).Ultrasound Imaging in Reproductive Medicine provides a comprehensive survey of the use of ultrasonography in the female pelvis for physicians, nurses, and ultrasonographers actively involved in reproductive medicine and infertility. With a critical evaluation of advantages and disadvantages, the book covers traditional and new technologies, including three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound for ovarian reserve, ovarian monitoring and endometrial cavity assessment, Ultrasound, MRI and CT evaluation of tubal patency, MRI guided ultrasound procedures for treatment of uterine fibroids, imaging techniques of the embryo and embryo transfer, and pulsed color Doppler techniques. 3D ultrasound to assess ovarian and endometrial volume and 3D automated monitoring of follicles are also covered in detail with up to date references.
This volume presents a comprehensive and practical approach to the treatment of suicide and NSSI for adolescents utilizing a mentalizing framework. The beginning of the text provides up-to-date information on the theory of a mentalizing therapy in order to ground the readers in the neuroscientific underpinnings of a mentalizing approach. Next chapters provide information on the fundamental building blocks of a mentalizing therapy at the individual and family level. These chapters provide step-by-step approaches in order to provide examples of the techniques involved in mentalizing treatment that can be employed to address suicidality and NSSI. The next chapter builds on these concepts as the reader learns about mentalizing failures involved in common co-morbidities in adolescents who are experiencing suicidality and/or employing NSSI. The next several chapters cover practical issues related to working within this patient population including the key concept of social systems and connections for both providers and adolescents, the ability of mentalizing theory and therapy to integrate with other effective therapies, how to approach sessions after a suicide attempt, resiliency for patient, family and the provider, along with important self-care for a therapist if a patient commits suicide. The final chapter brings all of the aforementioned elements together in order for the reader to conceptualize employing a mentalizing approach to adolescents and their families when suicide and NSSI concerns are a predominate focus of care. Illustrations of specific therapeutic approaches and a list of resources and guidelines where available are also included.Adolescent Suicide and Self-Injury is an excellent resource for all clinicians working with youths at risk for suicide and/or self-injury, including psychiatrists, psychologists, pediatricians, family medicine physicians, emergency medicine specialists, social workers, and all others.
Now in an updated edition, this is the most comprehensive book on modern ultrasound imaging in assisted reproductive technology (ART) and reproductive medicine. Fully revised and expanded, it covers emerging technologies possible with the improvement in ultrasound equipment. 3-D monitoring of ovarian follicles, bidirectional vibrant color and Doppler, and improved 3-D and 4-D imaging of reproductive structures are discussed. MRI-guided ultrasound procedures are covered, and comparisons of 3-D imaging with MRI imaging for uterine anomalies is reviewed with an emphasis on the advantages of 3-D performed in the gynecologist's office, and as a less expensive modality.The overall approach of the original edition is maintained, starting with ultrasound safety and technique and diagnosis of the ovary, uterus and fallopian tubes (both normal and pathologic), followed by both male and female infertility and ART treatments and procedures. Ultrasound monitoring of follicular development, the endometrium, and as an aid in embryo transfer to maximize IVF success rates are reviewed. Topics new to this edition include updated information on the diagnosis of benign and malignant adnexal masses, 3-D follicle monitoring, and the diagnosis of adenomyosis and endometriosis, including deep inseminated endometriosis. Additionally, the evaluation of endometrial receptivity, the use of contrasts for fallopian tube patency, controversies regarding septate uterus versus arcurate uterus with the use of 3-D ultrasound, and 3-D ultrasound with saline infusion sonogram and early pregnancy ultrasound are all discussed.An excellent resource for reproductive medicine and ART specialists, gynecologists and ultrasonographers alike, Ultrasound Imaging in Reproductive Medicine, Second Edition covers all that clinicians need to know about the role of ultrasound, from the first time a woman comes into the clinic for treatment, including ART, to early pregnancy monitoring. See better, do ART better.
