Study Notes
Pregnancy and Childbirth
- Pregnancy duration: 42 weeks, divided into three trimesters
- Fetal development: During the 1st trimester, the fetus grows from 8-20 hours to 42 weeks; during the 2nd trimester, the fetus grows from 5-15 hours to 42 weeks
- Stages of labor:
- Stage I: Fetal delivery (Primi: 1-2 hours, Multi: 30 min - 1 hour)
- Stage II: Placental delivery (Primi/Multi: 5-15 min, Max: 30 min)
- Stage III: Recovery of the patient (1st 4 hours after delivery, monitoring for hemorrhage and NSD > 500ml/24 hours)
- Stage IV: Recovery of the patient (1st 4 hours after delivery, monitoring for hemorrhage and NSD > 500ml/24 hours)
Sex Organs and Hormones
- Female reproductive system: Egg cell/Ovum, Ovaries, Estrogen (prepares uterus and breasts)
- Male reproductive system: Sperm, Testis, Testosterone
- Ovarian cycle: Estrogen surge stimulates endometrial cells for implantation, followed by progesterone surge during the luteal phase
Pregnancy-Related Changes
- Lower back pain: Caused by progesterone and relaxin, managed by encouraging 4S (Stand straight, Support pillow, Squatting, Shoes: Low) and exercising "P-R" (Pelvic Rock)
- Chest pain: Caused by progesterone and relaxin, managed by taking small, frequent feedings, avoiding triggers, and taking antacids
- Headaches: Managed by taking paracetamol, reporting severe or continued headaches, and monitoring for hypertension and visual changes
- Respiratory changes: Stuffiness of the nose caused by estrogen, shortness of breath in the 3rd trimester due to enlarged uterus
- Breast changes: Enlarged breasts caused by estrogen and progesterone, prepares for lactation
- Skin changes: Stretch marks, spider veins, and increased pigmentation caused by estrogen
- Urinary frequency: Caused by increased bladder pressure and hormonal changes
- Movements: Felt by the mother, called quickening, peaks in the 3rd trimester
- Morning sickness: Caused by progesterone, estrogen, HCG, and low glucose, managed by snacking before bed, taking small frequent feedings, and avoiding triggers
- Menses cessation: Caused by increased estrogen, returns after childbirth, delayed in breastfeeding mothers
- Palmar erythema: Redness and itchiness of the palms caused by estrogen, managed by calamine lotion
- Tiredness: Caused by low glucose, increased blood volume, and deprived sleep, managed by relaxation, enough sleep, and taking iron and folic acid supplements
- Increased salivation: Caused by estrogen, managed by good oral hygiene and monitoring for nutrition deficiency
- Vaginal changes: Increased secretion caused by estrogen, managed by promoting good perineal hygiene
- Varicosed veins: Caused by uterine pressure, managed by taking vitamins, elevating the legs, and increasing circulation
- Hemorrhoids: Managed by constipation management, cold compress, modified Sims' position, and lotion
- Enlargement of uterus/abdomen: Assessed by LMP, Naegel's Rule, McDonald's Rule, and Bartholomew's Rule
