Classification essay - Intro #1

I have worked on the maternity ward at EMMC for the past 14 months. I have seen many different people come and go. In the time that I have been on that floor, I have observed three main types of mothers. There are high risk moms desperate to carry a baby to term. Thankfully, there is a much higher percentage of ordinary moms who get pregnant, come in, deliver a healthy baby, and go home. The last type, with a startling increase in numbers, is the woman addicted to drugs, who gives birth to a drug addicted baby. These three types of women make up the majority of the patient population on our floor.
