    Study Notes

    Newborn Breathing

    • Newborns typically start breathing spontaneously within 15 to 30 seconds after birth.

    Precipitous Labor

    • Precipitous labor is most frequently seen in women who have delivered a baby before.

    Trauma and Blood Loss in Pregnancy

    • Pregnant trauma patients may exhibit significant blood loss without immediate signs of shock due to increased overall blood volume.

    Post-Birth Care for Infants

    • It is crucial to thoroughly dry and warm a newborn immediately after birth for proper care.

    Premature Infants

    • An infant is classified as premature if born before 36 weeks' gestation or weighing less than 5 pounds.

    Uterine Size During Pregnancy

    • By the 20th week of pregnancy, the uterus generally reaches the level of the mother’s belly button.

    Newborn Respiratory Stimulation

    • Common methods to stimulate spontaneous breathing in newborns include suctioning, drying with a towel, and tactile stimulation, but do not include positive-pressure ventilations.

    Eclampsia Definition

    • Eclampsia is accurately defined as seizures resulting from severe hypertension during pregnancy.

    Fetal Complications Due to Substance Abuse

    • Drug- or alcohol-addicted mothers may have infants with complications such as low birth weight, premature delivery, and respiratory depression, but not profound tachycardia.

    Full-Term vs. Premature Infants

    • Unlike full-term infants, premature infants tend to have proportionately larger heads.

    Placenta Issues

    • In contrast to abruptio placenta, placenta previa may not lead to significant abdominal pain.

    Iron Supplements in Pregnancy

    • Pregnant women are encouraged to take iron supplements to combat anemia, which can occur due to a decrease in red blood cells during pregnancy.

    Amniotic Fluid Function

    • The primary role of amniotic fluid is to insulate and protect the fetus.

    Primigravida Term

    • The term "primigravida" refers to a woman who is experiencing her first pregnancy.

    Umbilical Cord Anatomy

    • The umbilical cord consists of one large artery and two veins, crucial for fetal blood supply, carrying oxygen to the baby via the umbilical vein.
