“Help for low-income pregnant families women and families.” babycenter.com. BabyCenter. n.d Sun. 30 January. 2011.

Judy Meehan states that “getting medical care in pregnancy, and keeping all of your doctors’ appointments, is essential to your health and baby’s development. Eating healthy foods is important. Help is available, and government programs can connect you to care.” There are various organizations locally dedicated just to low pregnancy income families to improve infant and prenatal care. Some families do not have enough money for health insurance so they can apply for Medicaid or call the low-cost medical care for help.

This author is making an argument to help those families with low incomes to help pay for their newborn’s necessities. By placing baby pictures and videos on the website which gives us a reputable feel of the work. The website is effective but then again I feel like they should strictly focus on one key element which is the low-income pregnancy families. The audience is women who are having trouble coming up with money to feed their newborns due to low income or no health insurance. I intentionally thought it was a topic but it veered off. This ties into the agency because babysteps focuses on low income pregnancy families. The author is making a pitch about helping families out.

I believe this source is bias. They aimed more towards “advertisement” rather than strictly sticking to talking about babysteps. There was a picture of advertising a car at the top of the page and at the bottom of the page, they were advertising credit cards. This made me kind of skeptical because it was jumping from various topics on the page.

I had a more better understanding of the source as a whole because I wasn’t reading it for the gist of getting the blog down but I actually thought of the material. I feel that I need to learn why they must put other advertisements on the website. I also want to learn why there is other subjects on the website such as baby shower tips, best celebrities, girl scouts and some other things which are irrelevant to low income families. I want to know why there is a list of other pregnancy topics on the side of the page.
