Study Notes

Childbirth and Pregnancy Complications

Evaluation of amniotic fluid with TACO: time, amount, color, odor; risk of infection if ruptured for over 24 hours
Cardinal movements: necessary adjustments of the fetus for birth process, including turning and shoulder delivery
Stages of labor: second (pushing), third (birth of baby to placenta), and fourth (placenta delivery to maternal stabilization)
Monitoring vital signs and post-procedure assessments after childbirth
Anesthesia options such as nitrous oxide for pain management during labor
Daily fetal movement count for monitoring fetal oxygenation
Diagnostic tests including ultrasound, MRI, and amniocentesis for fetal health assessment
Gestational diabetes: implications for fetus, risk factors, and potential complications
Infections related to increased glucose in urine and altered carbohydrate metabolism
Complications such as hydramnios (excess amniotic fluid) and ketoacidosis due to hyperglycemia
Risks and implications of macrosomia (excessive fetal growth) and neonatal hypoglycemia
Use of nonstress tests for fetal heart rate monitoring during contractions and assessment of fetal well-being
