    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
