"Newborn babies can come out of the womb with health problems. Most of these health conditions are treatable. A very common health problem would be Jaundice; this is the condition in which the skin or eyes of a newborn turn a yellowish color. The reasoning behind this is, the newborn’s liver is immature and doesn’t work to remove bilirubin from the blood. Bilirubin is a brown and yellow pigment formed in the liver after erythrocytes are broken down. When bilirubin levels build up this causes the pigment of the skin to go yellow and may be a sign of liver damage/disease."

"E. Coli or Escherichia coli are bacteria that usually live in the intestines of people and animals. Although all types of E. Coli are generally met with hostility, most E. Coli are harmless and are rather an important part of the human intestinal tract. On the other hand, the ones that are dangerous or pathogenic can cause illnesses such as diarrhea, pneumonia, and other illnesses around the intestinal tract. These dangerous types of E. Coli can be transmitted through contaminated food, water, and contact with contaminated animals or people. This means that anyone can contract E. Coli, but the people with increased chances are adults who are 65 and older, children younger than 5 years of age, people with weakened immune systems, pregnant women, and people who travel to certain countries."

AIDS is the most severe stage of HIV which can lead to a number of severe illnesses. These severe illnesses caused by AIDS are called opportunistic infections. Although these infections are less common in people with HIV today because of effective HIV treatment, some people still develop opportunistic infections because they may not know they have HIV. "

"On November 24, 2021, a new variant of SARS-CoV-2, was reported to the World Health Organization. Viruses constantly change through mutation and these mutations can result in new variants just like the Covid-19 virus. This new variant is called the Omicron Variant. This variation was first detected in specimens collected in Botswana and in South Africa in November of 2021. The United States classified this new variant as a ¨Variant of Concern¨, a category used for variants of a virus that are linked to rapid spread in human populations. The first confirmed U.S case of Omicron was identified on December 1, 2021. CDC has been working with global public health and industry partners to learn more about Omicron, as they don't know much about it yet. "

"When Covid first started spreading rapidly across the United States, people said it was a hoax, or that it wasn’t as bad as people made it seem. People didn’t take the precautions seriously. They didn’t social distance, wash their hands, or wear a mask in public. Due to this happening, it spread fast, and it continues to spread and people have died from it. Which is why it was so important to get a vaccine to prevent the spread out fast. The Covid-19 vaccine has been a controversial political and medical topic."

"A midwife named Ina May Gaskin once said, “We are the only species of mammal that doubts our ability to give birth. It’s profitable to scare women about birth. But let's stop it.” As the human race progressed, the standards of living changed drastically. For example, the way we gather food and build living spaces have changed for the better and is continuously improving. Furthermore, the stigma around both childbirth and pregnancy has also changed and the standards are becoming glaringly different. Advancements in society have pushed women to experience childbirth differently."
