    Study Notes

    Preconception and Interconception Care

    • Aim of preconception care: Enhance health and wellbeing prior to pregnancy to improve outcomes and prevent complications.
    • Important components include evaluating immunization status, existing medical conditions, reproductive health practices, nutrition, and lifestyle behaviors.
    • Identify and address biomedical, behavioral, and social risks impacting women's health and pregnancy outcomes.

    Risk Factors for Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes

    • Teratogenic risks include isotretinoins, alcohol, illicit drugs, and smoking.
    • Certain medications (anticoagulants, diabetic drugs, cancer treatments, antiepileptics) may pose risks.
    • Medical conditions such as diabetes, hypothyroidism, STIs (particularly rubella), obesity, and maternal phenylketonuria increase adverse outcomes.
    • Folic acid deficiency is a critical nutritional risk.

    The First Prenatal Visit

    • Involves a comprehensive health history, physical examination, and laboratory tests.

    Comprehensive Health History

    • Key areas of inquiry:
      • Reason for seeking care: include suspicion of pregnancy, last menstrual period (LMP) date, and pregnancy signs.
      • Full medical, surgical, and family history.
      • Reproductive history: menstrual, obstetric, and gynecological details.

    Determining Estimated Due Date (EDD)

    • EDD calculation is crucial for guiding tests and interventions throughout pregnancy.
    • Nagele’s Rule:
      • Subtract 3 months from LMP
      • Add 7 days
      • Add 1 year
    • Example: LMP of 1/1/23 → EDD of 10/8/24.

    Pregnancy Terms

    • Gravid: The state of being pregnant.
    • Gravida/Gravidity: Total number of pregnancies regardless of outcome; multiple gestations count as one.
    • Nulligravida: Never been pregnant.
    • Primigravida: First-time pregnancy.
    • Secundigravida: Second pregnancy.
    • Multigravida: Third or more pregnancies.
    • Para: Number of births at or beyond 20 weeks gestation (viable pregnancies).
    • Parity: Total pregnancies reaching viability, regardless of outcomes; multiple births count as one.
    • Nullipara: No viable offspring birthed.
    • Primipara: One birth after a pregnancy of at least 20 weeks.
    • Multipara: Two or more births after pregnancies of at least 20 weeks.
