REFLECTION
Present reflection is going to consider the story of a woman, who has dealt with number
of problems from child birth complications and chances of miscarriage when she got pregnant at
the age of 35 and still joined an office at a temporary contract (six months) Abdullahi and et. al.,
(2018). This reflection, will consider all the events from which the woman have been through
emotional and physical abuse, which raised number of complications for her at the time when
she was carrying the baby. Basically, this reflection that I am performing is based on the feelings
that I had just after understanding and reading the story as a family carer.
After reading the case, I have enlightened my own thoughts in regards to the woman,
who already had many complications in her pregnancy as she was 35 but, still she has the belief
of performing the job on temporary contract due to her own needs. I can see myself as the
individual who has the capacity of understand, how a person can feel distressed or pain, being
and performing the job as well at a workstation Milne and et. al., (2017). While looking at the
case, I have analysed that being pregnant in the age of 35, can increase the chances of
chromosomal abnormality. This can be defined as a disorder, aberration, anomaly or mutation is
something, which is extra, missing, or irregular portion of chromosomal DNA. These can be both
numerical or structural. This can lead to number of diseases, miscarriage, problems in
development of a child and so on. Away with this, what I found that, since the woman was going
going to work, she used to deal with number of issues like her boss, used to scold on her daily as
he was unhappy of what she did at the time of interview of not telling the truth. This raised
number of issues, where she started feeling full of anxiety and breakage and incorrect rejoining
of chromosomal segments. As I am a an intern within the maternity department of a hospital, I
can see this case as one of the common but serious issue that a women can face when she is
pregnant who is coming under the age group of 25 to 40. Depending on the specific abnormality,
that can get happen due to an extra copy of chromosome 21 causes Down syndrome (trisomy
21). This may lead to chromosomal abnormalities can also cause miscarriage, disease, or
problems in growth or development. What I found in present case, was that there are number of
treatments that can be given to the woman and these are: pre-implantation genetic diagnosis and
so on Mogos and et. al., (2017).
Performing the analysis, I have analysed that aneuploidy was the disease that this woman
started getting, where this abnormal chromosome was extra in her. This took place, due to taking

high mental distress, which was faced by her was aneuploidy. As I have studied in my course,
that a women having chromosomal abnormalities is because of extra or missing of some
chromosomes. women suffering from this can affect her mentally as well as physically both. As
this may leave her in lot of mental stress, tension or anxiety attacks which can negatively affect
health of baby also. Child may suffer any type of physical disability, overall growth may
slowdown. Baby may also have some types of abnormalities.
Overall we can say that chromosomal abnormalities suffered by a pregnant woman can
be very disastrous for a baby's health and this will lead to birth of an unhealthy baby. Being as a
family carer, I can say that this woman was dealing with many range of forces like anxiety,
mental pressure and so on, which raised chances for her in regards to chromosomal
abnormalities. Away with this, immunization of pregnant women can protect against vaccine-
preventable infections, and may have the added benefit of direct fetal protection O’Callaghan
and et. al., (2016).
On the other hand, I can also say that she has been through a high risk, when she was
pregnant where the anxiety brought aneuploidy diseases in her. This impacted negatively upon
her overall performance level in her office hours and created chromosomal abnormality as well.
Therefore, I can say the honesty would basically plays a crucial role in regards to pregnant
women while working at the office.
