Study Notes
Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy and Placental Abruption Overview
- Alcohol consumption and medication can contribute to fetal alcohol spectrum disorders and teratogenic effects.
- Primary health and preventative medicine play a crucial role in identifying risk markers for hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP).
- Severity of HDP is determined by target organ involvement and blood pressure levels.
- Complications of HDP include maternal hemorrhage, abnormal placental attachment, and fetal preterm birth.
- Diagnosis of HDP involves ultrasound examinations and coagulation profile assessments.
- Management of HDP includes reduced activity, continuous electronic monitoring, and emotional support for the patient.
- Home care for HDP involves close supervision by family or friends, teaching the patient to assess fetal and uterine activity, and avoiding certain activities.
- Placental abruption is a serious complication that accounts for significant maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality.
- Placental abruption can be caused by maternal hypertension, substance use, trauma, and multiple gestations.
- Clinical manifestations of placental abruption include sudden uterine pain, vaginal bleeding, and fetal distress.
- Complications of placental abruption include maternal hemorrhage, hypovolemic shock, and fetal IUGR.
- Diagnosis of placental abruption involves ultrasound examinations and careful monitoring of fetal heart rate.

- Diagnosis of placental abruption involves ultrasound examinations and careful monitoring of fetal heart rate.
Diabetes Management in Pregnancy
- Women with pregestational diabetes need education on diet, insulin therapy, exercise, and blood glucose monitoring to avoid complications during pregnancy.
- Pregestational diabetes requires close fetal monitoring and carrying insulin, glucometer, and hypoglycemia kit at all times to manage the risk of hypoglycemia, especially in the first trimester.
- Intrapartum management of pregestational diabetes involves monitoring maternal blood glucose levels and maintaining them at 4.0-7.0mmol/L, continuous insulin pump, and close monitoring for dehydration, hypoglycemia, and hyperglycemia.
- Postpartum management includes reducing insulin dose immediately after delivery, monitoring blood glucose for hypoglycemia, and promoting early neonatal feeding, especially for women with T1DM.
- Women diagnosed with gestational diabetes have a 50% chance of developing diabetes within 5-10 years, and several risk factors increase the likelihood of developing gestational diabetes.
- The pathophysiology of gestational diabetes involves increased fetal nutrient demands and maternal insulin resistance during the second and third trimesters.
- Screening for gestational diabetes involves a glucose challenge test and an oral glucose tolerance test, with a focus on healthy diet and weight gain follow-up.
- The collaborative management of gestational diabetes includes dietary and exercise modifications, insulin therapy, and fetal surveillance, with a shift to pharmacological therapy if blood glucose targets are not achieved.
- Intrapartum management of gestational diabetes requires close monitoring of maternal blood glucose levels, routine assessment of fetal heart rate and uterine activity, and preparedness for a C-section if the fetus presents with macrosomia.
- Postpartum care for women with gestational diabetes includes encouraging breastfeeding to prevent neonatal hypoglycemia and screening for prediabetes and diabetes with an oral glucose tolerance test.
- Infants of diabetic mothers are at risk for a range of complications including hypocalcemia, hypomagnesemia, congenital abnormalities, hyperbilirubinemia, polycythemia, respiratory distress syndrome, birth trauma, and cardiomyopathy.
- The degree of risk for infants of diabetic mothers is influenced by the severity and duration of maternal disease, and careful monitoring and management are required to mitigate these risks.
Diabetes Management in Pregnancy
- Preconception counseling and care is recommended for all women of reproductive age with diabetes to improve pregnancy outcomes
- Preconception care includes evaluating the woman's health status, planning the optimal time for pregnancy, and stabilizing any vascular complications of diabetes
- It decreases the risk of congenital anomalies and spontaneous abortion
- The woman's partner should be included to improve support and understanding of potential complications
- Steps to prevent diabetes include preconception counseling, achieving optimal glycemic control, and switching from oral hypoglycemic agents to insulin
- Management during pregnancy includes achieving euglycemia, close fetal monitoring, and maternal glucose monitoring
- Intrapartum management involves close monitoring of maternal blood glucose levels, fetal heart rate, and preparation for potential complications
- Postpartum management includes adjusting insulin doses, monitoring for hypoglycemia, and promoting early neonatal feeding
- Around 50% of women diagnosed with gestational diabetes will develop diabetes within 5-10 years
- Risk factors for gestational diabetes include age, obesity, high-risk population, family history of T2DM, and history of infant weighing over 4000g
- Maternal insulin resistance increases as a result of hormones during pregnancy, leading to GDM
- Screening for GDM should be done at 24-28 weeks gestation using the 50g glucose challenge test and the 75g oral glucose tolerance test if necessary
