HW#7

-This source explains the different things that women can do to make thier high risk pregnancy as comfortable and "normal" as possible. It was found throught the search premier link on the MCC library website. It is a peer reviewed journal article. This source could help to answer my question of why these women have to endure additional testing.

-This source comes from an anonymous author giving her personal experiences on not being able to carry full term because she waited too long to have children. It does come from a reputable journal. I think it could help make my paper more relavent to other readers. It shows that I am not the only person that has these worries.

-This source is about research specifically geared toward miscarriages. This is a weekly article not from a journal like most of my sources. It comes from a reliable source found on the academic search premier link at the Mcc library site. It is relavent to my topic because miscarriages and fetal loss is the #1 risk of pregnancy and advanced maternal age.

-This source is research done based on maternal age only. It is an older source; however, I think it's a good contrast to the other data I have. This study, done over three years, shows there were no differences in births to moms over 35 to moms 20-25. It is found in a medical journal so it is still reputable. I believe this source makes my paper more well rounded.
