Study Notes
Pregnancy and Fetal Development
- Rubella can cross the placenta and harm the baby if given immediately after birth
- The placenta is a highly vascular organ that facilitates gas, nutrient, waste, and antibody transfer between the mother and the fetus
- The embryonic period occurs during weeks 2-8 of pregnancy, and the fetal period spans weeks 9-38
- Fetal development milestones include the closure of the neural tube, development of organs, and the onset of viability at 24 weeks
- Fetal circulation involves the umbilical cord, ductus venosus, and ductus arteriosus, which undergo changes after birth
- Multifetal pregnancies can be monozygotic (identical) or dizygotic (fraternal), with unique complications for each
- The reproductive system undergoes significant changes during pregnancy, including uterine growth, cervical changes, and increased vascularity in the vagina and vulva
- The cardiovascular system experiences an increase in blood volume, cardiac output, and plasma volume, as well as alterations in blood pressure and flow
- The respiratory system is affected by increased oxygen consumption and the risk of supine hypotension in pregnant women
- Monozygotic pregnancies can result in twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome, which poses risks to both twins
- Maternal physiologic changes are greater in multifetal pregnancies, leading to increased workload for the heart and respiratory difficulties
- The presence of multiple fetuses requires special antepartum care, including more frequent visits, ultrasounds, and education on signs of preterm labor
