Study Notes
Maternal and Fetal Health in Pregnancy - Key Points
- A pregnant woman should report symptoms like increased frequency of urination, blurred or double vision, and feeling tired after resting to the nurse.
- Priority conditions for pregnant mothers include vaginal bleeding, eclampsia, diabetes, and headaches.
- A pregnant woman diagnosed with preeclampsia feeling anxious and crying indicates a need for safety according to Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
- Magnesium sulfate therapy is effective if no seizures occur in a patient with pre-eclampsia.
- The three most common causes of hemorrhage during the first half of pregnancy are abortion, ectopic pregnancy, and hydatidiform mole.
- Gestational trophoblastic disease is diagnosed with ultrasonography revealing grape-like clusters.
- Progestin use in adult patients may increase the risk for tubal or ectopic pregnancy.
- Ectopic pregnancy pain characteristics include sudden pain in the upper part of the abdomen.
- Approximately 95% of patients with ectopic pregnancy will have normally rising HCG levels.
- Lab investigations for diagnosing gestational trophoblastic disease include serum HCG levels and serum estrogen levels.
- Management of partial placenta previa involves bed rest and avoiding stress.
- Necessities for a caesarean section include severe preeclampsia and total placenta previa.
Pregnancy and Childbirth: Key Concepts and Considerations
- Ovulation occurs around day 14 of the menstrual cycle, with the release of a mature egg due to a sudden increase in luteinizing hormone (LH).
- The luteal phase, from day 15 to 28, involves the preparation of the uterine lining for pregnancy and shedding if fertilization does not occur.
- Different pelvic shapes, such as gynecoid, android, platypelloid, and anthropoid, have varying implications for vaginal birth.
- Amniotic fluid allows fetal movement, prevents injury, and maintains umbilical cord function.
- The placenta secretes estrogen, provides oxygen and nutrition to the fetus, and removes waste products.
- Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is pivotal for maternal recognition of pregnancy.
- Fetal circulation includes two deoxygenated arteries and one oxygenated vein in the umbilical cord.
- Fetal heart rate ranges from 110 to 160 beats per minute in utero.
- Hormonal differences between males and females involve estrogen and HCG in females and testosterone and estrogen in males.
- Signs such as Hegar's sign, Goodell's sign, and Chadwick's sign indicate softening and changes in the cervix and lower segment of the uterus during pregnancy.
- Gravida, term births, preterm births, abortions, and living children are indicated using the GTPAL format.
- Weight gain recommendations during pregnancy depend on the woman's pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), with normal weight gain ranging from 11.5 to 16 kilograms.
