The awareness and visual diagnosis of women with severe visual impairment as a main factor in the choice of delivery methods in childbirth
Journal Title: Journal of Exceptional People - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 12
Abstract
This article is focused on factors which influence the choice of delivery options of women with visual impairment (VI), investigating the connection between the information women have and how prepared they feel, as well as their attitudes (direct or indirect) to delivery methods. This article emphasizes the necessity of sexual education, adequately modified for pupils with visual impairment from preschool to age 18/19. Sexual education, containing all necessary elements combined with education within the family is the cornerstone of an expectant mother‘s awareness, and her feeling of competancy in parenthood. This emphasizes a respectful attitude to women with visual impairment. The author points out the possible connections between recommending C-sections to these women (from the expectation of progressing the visual impairment during childbirth), and ongoing unsuitable delivery techniques. The article includes international studies showing that there are women with visual impairment who can give physiological birth without any changes in their visual diagnosis (if certain conditions are met). The practical part of this article includes the case-study of a woman who was able to deliver naturally even after two previous C-sections with no change in her visual diagnosis.
