Blog 3: EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTION PILL

Today I will talk about contraceptive methods, which are those that prevent or reduce significantly the possibilities of a fertilization or a pregnancy in the sexual relations. The contraceptive methods were instrumental in making decisions about birth control (number of children they want to or not have), pregnancy prevention and in reducing the number of not wished pregnancies and teenage pregnancies. The methods given after sexual relations are called emergency contraception.

These methods are very important to our society because today there are many teenagers who start at an early age, his sex life, and often do not take the necessary measures to prevent a not wished pregnancy, as well as to prevent transmitted infections sexual.

The emergency contraception pill, which is a method that is administered after intercourse, has been a very controversial topic and discussed in the last times in our country, as it has tried to reach an agreement on whether or not abortion . There have been many studies on this subject, and one of them is that performed by Dr. Carlos Valenzuela of the human genetics program at the University of Chile, who in his article mentions the effectiveness of emergency contraceptive pill, "Levonorgestrel" , which would be more effective within the first 24 hours after intercourse, with 56.1% efficiency, whereas if taken thereafter at 25-48 hours after their efficiency decreases to 38.2%.

With regard to the emergency contraception pill, I think that you should not promote people because we must educate the population which are contraceptive methods that exist today, and this is a very important topic for me future as a professional midwife, because our duty is to inform teenagers and anyone who has begun their sex lives about contraceptive methods that are appropriate for them, as well as ensure the development of sexual life as conscious, responsible and healthy as possible.

This time I will talk about an American television series that I love "Supernatural", the series is televised on The CW Network. In are now six seasons and will be released soon the seventh season.

This series narrates the exploits of two brothers, Dean and Sam Winchester, who travel throughout the United States in your car Chevrolet Impala black, 1967 model and work investigating and combating paranormal events and unexplained, many of them based on the urban legends American culture, as well as classic supernatural creatures such as vampires, werewolves, ghosts and demons. This work comes from family, since his father John Winchester began with the demons' hunt since his wife died to hands of the demon of the yellow eyes when his children were very young.

When Dean and Sam grew they continued with the search of the demon that killed his mother, since his father also died in his search. Since then, the Winchester brothers in the company of other hunters, some of them friends of the family, have faced all kinds of demons that are protecting the leader of the demons that prevent this meeting, which later knows that it are not anything less than Lucifer.

Lucifer to see that these brothers are killing many demons decides prepare Sam to take his place, as it is in their veins the blood of Lucifer, because it gave her to drink when he was just a baby and then killed her mother.

Later God to see what is happening on Earth, decides to send an angel, Castiel who will have to help and guide the brothers in the search of Lucifer and to prevent Sam from turning into demon, and this way to finish of a good time with so much evil and prevent the deaths of innocent people who are possessed by demons.
