Study Notes
Pregnancy Complications
- First Trimester Bleeding: Miscarriage is the most frequent cause of bleeding in the first trimester.
- Hormonal Maintenance of Pregnancy: Progesterone is primarily responsible for maintaining early pregnancy.
- Placental Hormone Production: The placenta takes over hormone production from the corpus luteum around 12 weeks gestation.
- Threatened Miscarriage Signs: Light spotting is a common indicator, sometimes accompanied by mild pain.
Ectopic Pregnancy
- Implantation Site: The embryo typically implants in the fallopian tube.
- Classic Symptom: Pelvic pain is a key symptom.
- Diagnosis: Ultrasound is the primary diagnostic tool.
- Medical Treatment: Methotrexate is a common medical management approach.
Molar Pregnancy
- Definition: Abnormal trophoblastic growth without a viable fetus.
- HCG Level: Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) levels are usually elevated.
- Complete vs. Partial: Differentiation often relies on the presence or absence of a fetus.
Placenta Previa
- Definition: Placenta is positioned over the cervical os, causing vaginal bleeding.
- Management (Early Diagnosis): Observation.
- Late-Term Management: Cesarean delivery is typically the preferred approach in late stages.
- Diagnostic Tool: Ultrasound is the principal diagnostic modality for diagnosis of placental abruption.
- Risk Factor: Hypertension
Placental Abruption
- Definition: Premature separation of a normally implanted placenta.
- Diagnosis: Ultrasound is preferred, and painful bleeding in the third trimester is typical.
Vasa Previa
- Definition: Umbilical cord blood vessels cross the cervical os.
- Risk Factors: Multiple pregnancies are frequently associated with this complication.
- Diagnosis: Doppler ultrasound plays a crucial role in diagnosis.
- Symptoms during labor: Painless vaginal bleeding is a common sign during labor.
Other Pregnancy Issues
- Fetal Lung Maturity: Betamethasone is a medication used to enhance fetal lung maturity before preterm delivery.
- Postpartum Hemorrhage: Oxytocin is often the initial treatment for this condition.
- Rh Immunoglobulin: Administered to prevent Rh sensitization in Rh-negative mothers.
- Recurrent Pregnancy Loss: Defined as three or more consecutive pregnancy losses, associated with genetic conditions like antiphospholipid syndrome.
