Maya argues that unless the stereotypical notions attached to pregnancy are not left behind, it will remain difficult to deliver the child for the new girls. She writes that I have observed throughout my life that the pregnant lady has been taking care of and as a result she becomes sensitive and develop some immature abilities, which remains advantageous for her, in the child development.

She also mentions that ‘giving birth is just what the girl understands’, it remains less relevant to others in her acquittances ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"PcpZyeDP","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(\\uc0\\u8220{}Commuting While Pregnant: A Long Ride Could Be a Risky One - The New York Times,\\uc0\\u8221{} n.d.)","plainCitation":"(“Commuting While Pregnant: A Long Ride Could Be a Risky One - The New York Times,” n.d.)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":173,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/pCT5fGyt/items/KMUIAJ8Q"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/pCT5fGyt/items/KMUIAJ8Q"],"itemData":{"id":173,"type":"webpage","title":"Commuting While Pregnant: A Long Ride Could Be a Risky One - The New York Times","URL":"https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/19/health/pregnancy-maternity-leave-paid.html","accessed":{"date-parts":[["2019",5,5]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (“Commuting While Pregnant: A Long Ride Could Be a Risky One - The New York Times,” n.d.). For example, she believes that the medical condition that the girl develops in the middle of the eighth month requires thorough concentration on her health. The medical conditions she has referred to are about taking care of the Womens body. She has also referred to some studies in her article that are about the health of the child before one months of his delivery. She mentions that if a pregnant woman drives the car more than fifty miles, it can result in her children’s being born too weak and weight less. She goes on to opine that the pregnancy is much harsher for those who are in the physically demanding jobs. She has also referred to a study completed by the University of Wisconsin that with every ten miles of the distance covered by the pregnant women the probability of low birth weightage increases by 0.1 per cent.

She further goes on to write that what can bring ease to the life of the pregnant women is the social conditions, she has been living in. She also talked about the much-debated health care program of the Obama administration, which is now the talk of the town. She mentions that the society must now tailor its traditional norms with that of the requirement of the pregnant teens. How can a mother be a good mother, if she doesn’t have the time to give to her children’s? She has mainly criticized the efforts of the present administration about abandoning this program. She writes that the maternal leaves are not at all the bonuses or a gift from the company, it is what she believes an inherent right of every women to give birth in a more relaxed way.

She writes in her article that once a woman becomes part of an organizational hierarchy, she herself put aside her joys and her fears. She knows that what is coming a head could be much worse than by being jobless. She has mentioned also that the authorities might need to work seriously on the early childhood development of the children. She believes that once the women land in a safe world, she is then more accessible and workable. Her topic of concern in the article had remained the problems in early child hood development. She believes that each stage during pregnancy till the last moment before delivery are crucial. She opines that easing it comes as the responsibility not just on the end of husband but also at the ends of the society and that of the government too. She has also criticized many administrations that have remined failed in bringing the U.S at par with many other developed countries of the world in the field of child development.
