    Study Notes

    Fertilization

    • Fertilization occurs in the ampulla of the fallopian tube.
    • Morula is an 8-16 celled zygote.
    • Morula enters the uterine cavity on day 4.
    • Blastocyst formation begins on day 5.
    • The implantation window is from day 6-10.
    • Implantation ends on day 11.

    Pregnancy Duration

    • Total duration of pregnancy is 9 months + 7 days / 40 weeks / 280 days.
    • Period of gestation (POG) / Period of amenorrhoea (PO) / Period of pregnancy: Calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP).

    Types of Pregnancy

    • Pre-term pregnancy: Less than 37 weeks.
    • Early term pregnancy: 37-38 weeks + 6 days.
    • Full term pregnancy: 39-40 weeks + 6 days.

    Cervical Insufficiency

    • History of two or more painless second trimester abortions : No investigation needed.
    • Pregnant female at 8 weeks (or) at 16 weeks: History-based diagnosis.
    • Pregnant female at 16 weeks with cervical length greater than 25 mm: Transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) for cervical length.
    • Pregnant female with history of one second trimester abortion (or) preterm labor: TVS for cervical length.
    • Length greater than 2.5 cm: Progesterone.
    • Length less than or equal to 2.5 cm: Progesterone + cervical cerclage (between 12-14 weeks).
    • Pregnant female with no history of second trimester abortion but cervical length less than 2.5 cm: Progesterone.

    Placenta Previa

    • New classification:
      • Low-lying placenta: Placental edge less than 2 cm from the internal os.
      • Placenta previa: Type 2, 3, and 4 of the older classification (placental edge either reaches the os or covers it).

    Placenta Previa Management

    • Pelvic examinations are contraindicated in placenta previa.
    • Transabdominal sonogram (TAS) is used to differentiate between placenta previa and abruptio placentae.
    • TVS is the investigation of choice.
    • Ultrasound is essential for:
      • Confirmation of diagnosis.
      • Detection of malpresentation (most common: Transverse lie > Breech).
      • Ruling out placenta accreta spectrum.

    Placenta Previa: Transverse Lie

    • Most common cause of transverse lie: Prematurity.
    • Most common cause of transverse lie at term: Placenta previa.
    • Best time to do USG to rule out previa: Third trimester.

    Management of Bleeding at Greater than or equal to 28 Weeks

    • Resuscitate:
      • Two large-bore IV cannula (14G, 16G).
      • Oxygen via mask.
      • Start intravenous fluids (crystalloids).
      • Urine input/output chart.
    • If vital signs are stable and fetal heart sounds are normal with no evidence of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC): Transabdominal sonogram (TAS).
    • If vital signs are unstable, fetal distress is present, or DIC is present: Cesarean section (irrespective of diagnosis).

    Management of Placenta Previa

    • Expected management is to continue the pregnancy with the McAfee and Johnson regimen if all the following are fulfilled:
      • Vitals are stable.
      • Corticosteroids are administered for lung maturity.
      • No active bleeding.
      • Tocolytics are used only if preterm labor is present.

    Iron Deficiency Anemia

    • Iron deficiency anemia is the most common pathological anemia in pregnancy.
    • It is the most common indirect cause of maternal mortality in India.
    • Microcytic hypochromic anemia.
    • NESTROF Test is used to differentiate between iron deficiency anemia and thalassemia.
    • A Mentzer index greater than 13: Iron deficiency anemia.
    • A Mentzer index less than 13: Thalassemia.

    Anemia Mukt Bharat Program

    • The aim of this program is to prevent anemia (not treat it).
    • Interventions:
      • Digital hemoglobinometer in Primary Health Centres (PHCs).
      • Iron-folic acid (IFA) pills.
      • Deworming.
      • Food fortification with iron.
      • Delayed cord clamping (to prevent neonatal anemia).
      • Addressing other causes.

    Heart Disease in Pregnancy

    • Most common heart disease in pregnancy: Mitral stenosis.
    • Most common congenital heart disease in pregnancy: Atrial septal defect (ASD).
    • Heart disease with the highest maternal mortality: Eisenmenger's syndrome.
    • Cesarean section is indicated for heart disease involving the aorta (aortic aneurysm, coarctation of the aorta, Marfan syndrome with aortic involvement, or patients on warfarin at the time of delivery).
    • Mitral stenosis with rheumatic etiology: Surgery should be performed before conception (if not, the first symptom of MS in pregnancy is dyspnea, which mimics a normal pregnancy symptom).

    Management of Symptomatic Mitral Stenosis

    • Area of the valve is less than 1.5 cm2: Balloon valvotomy or surgery is recommended.
    • Area of the valve is greater than 1.5 cm2: Medical management.

    Complications of Diabetes

    Maternal Complications

    • Increased chances of infection (asymptomatic bacteriuria, candidiasis).
    • Placentomegaly (Increased placental size) which can lead to preeclampsia/ pre-eclampsia (PIH), polyhydramnios, postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), abruption placentae, premature rupture of membranes (PROM), preterm labor (PTL), cord prolapse, and malpresentation.
    • Increased chance of developing diabetes in the future.

    Fetal Complications

    • Fetal hyperglycemia.
    • Macrosomia (weight greater than or equal to 4 kg).
    • Should dystocia.
    • Increased risk of abortion, stillbirth, and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR).
    • Diabetic vasculopathy can lead to oligohydramnios.

    Neonatal Complications

    • Neonatal hypoglycemia.
    • Hypocalcemia, hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia.
    • Surfactant deficiency can lead to respiratory distress syndrome and necrotizing enterocolitis.
