Independent Component 2

a) I, Ariami Garcia, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.
b) The person that helped me complete my second independent component is Mandi Woolery, who is a childbirth educator in the city of Upland. She owns the studio Peachy Keen.
d) I completed my 30 hours by taking another childbirth class. I did both Bradley and Lamaze this time around.
The independent component helped me answer my essential question because it aught me more about nutrition and exercise which play a huge role in keeping mothers low risk to prevent c-sections. It also helped with my third answer because I was able to see the characteristics needed to help an expectant mother.

Independent Component 2 Approval

1. For my independent component 2 I will be taking a series of childbirth classes to fulfill the 30 hour requirement such as lamaze, bradley, hypnobirthing, prenatal yoga, etc.
2. I will provide evidence for what I do by taking videos, photos, and if possible by brining in props.
3. Attending these classe will help  me explore my topic more in depth because often times midwives are the ones who teach these types of classes.They will give me more of an insight on what full scope midwives do inside and outside of the hospital. Attending these classes will also help me better understand the different tasks midwives have such as counseling.

(c) Updated
(d) For my first independent component I took two birthing classes. I took a prepared childbirth class which focused on what to expect during pregnancy and during the labor. I also took a Bradley class which focused more on natural birth, nutrition, exercise, and coaching. The Bradley class was more detailed and provided more in depth information because it had more sessions than the prepared childbirth course.
Applied: Taking these classes for my independent component further helped me understand the pregnancy aspect of midwifery because I was able to work closely with expectant mothers. I was able to see the sort of things midwife's advice their patients to do such as take childbirth classes to educate and prepare themselves for labor. These classes also helped me learn more in depth about pregnancy in an emotional,physical, and physiological way. These classes helped me work on my answer for my essential question as well because I learned more about the knowledge a midwife needs to possess in order to help their patients.
EVIDENCE:

Blog 7: Independent Component 1 Approval

1. For my 30 hours required for independent component I plan to attend a serious of birthing classes such as a lamaze class, a bradley class, a hypnobirth class, a prenatal yoga class, etc.

2. To show evidence of my 30 hours I will record sessions during classes, take multiple photographs, and if possible bring props from the classes.

3. Attending these different classes will help me explore my topic more in depth because often times midwives are the ones who teach those sort of classes. This will give me another look at what full scope midwives do outside of the hospital. Attending these classes will also give me a better insight at the other things midwives do besides labor and delivery, such as counseling.
