    Study Notes

    Sexual Terms

    • Unitive: Refers to the physical union of a man and a woman in natural intercourse.
    • Procreative: Describes the inherent potential of natural intercourse to create new human life.

    Reproductive Health Goals

    • The 2020 National Health Goals aim to increase the proportion of adolescents, by age 15, who have never engaged in sexual intercourse.
    • The goals aim to increase the percentage of sexually active 15-19 year olds who use contraception at last sexual intercourse.
    • The goals include reducing deaths from cancer of the uterine cervix and breast cancer.

    Uterus Positions

    • Anteversion: The entire uterus tips forward.
    • Anteflexion: The uterus is bent sharply forward at the junction with the cervix.
    • Retroversion: The entire uterus tips backward.
    • Retroflexion: The uterus is bent sharply backward just above the cervix.

    Sexual Cycle (Excitement Phase)

    • Increased blood supply leads to increased vasocongestion and muscle tension.

    Sexual Cycle (Plateau Phase)

    • Nipple elevation and penis distention occur.

    Fetal Development (24 weeks)

    • The fetus is 28-36 cm long and weighs 550 g.
    • Meconium is present in the rectum.
    • Active production of lung surfactant begins.
    • Eyelids open and pupils react to light.
    • Hearing is demonstrable by response to sound.
    • Fetuses at this stage are considered viable if they are cared for in an intensive care nursery.

    Fetal Development (Continued)

    • Fetal movements become more active, potentially causing discomfort for the mother.
    • Fetal hemoglobin begins transitioning to adult hemoglobin.
    • Vernix caseosa, a protective coating, begins to decrease.
    • Brown fat, aiding in temperature regulation, forms behind the kidneys, sternum, and neck.
    • Hair develops on the head, including eyebrows.
    • Meconium is present in the upper intestine.
    • Distinctive sleep and activity patterns, guiding sleep/wake patterns throughout life, emerge.

    Labor and Delivery

    • Powers of Labor: Uterine contractions are responsible for expelling the fetus.
    • Passage: The pelvis is large enough and shaped appropriately for childbirth.
    • Passenger: The fetus is the correct size and in an advantageous position and presentation for birth.
    • Psyche: The woman's mental state can influence labor.

    Fetal Positions

    • Vertex Presentation: The fetus's head is facing down, with the back of the head closest to the birth canal.
      • This position is advantageous for birth.

    Fetal Positions (Continued)

    • Moderate Flexion: The fetus is not as well-flexed, with the chin not touching the chest.
    • Partial Extension: The fetus's chin is not touching the chest.
    • Complete Extension: The fetus is fully extended, with the face presenting first.

    Newborn Care

    • First 24 hours:
      • Do not bathe the baby.
      • Leave the baby on the mother's chest in skin-to-skin contact.
    • Within 90 minutes:
      • Provide breastfeeding support to ensure good positioning and attachment.
    • From 90 minutes to 6 hours:
      • Examine the baby for malformations.
      • Give vitamin K prophylaxis.
      • Inject hepatitis B and BCG vaccinations.
      • Perform dry cord care.
      • Schedule postnatal contacts.
    • Eye Care:
      • Administer antibiotic ointment or povidone-iodine drops to both eyes.

    Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC)

    • Involves skin-to-skin contact with the mother, which helps to keep babies warm and protected from infection.

    KMC (Common Practices)

    • Separation from the mother, over-medicalization, and exposure to infection are dangers with common practices.
    • Formula feeding increases the risk of complications, including necrotizing enterocolitis, pneumonia, diarrhea, malnutrition, and death.

    Postnatal Care

    • Pain Relief for Afterpains: Ibuprofen can be used.
    • Relieve Muscular Aches
    • Administer Cold and Hot Therapy.
    • Promote Perineal Exercises.
    • Give Episiotomy Care.
    • Administer Sitz Baths.
    • Prevent Constipation.
    • Prevent/Alleviate Breast Engorgement.

    Newborn Care (Common Practices)

    • Too Often:
      • Unnecessary suctioning.
      • Immediate cord cutting.
      • Delayed drying.
      • Separation from the mother.
    • Risks:
      • Infection.
      • Breathing problems.
      • Circulatory problems.
      • Hypothermia.
      • Anemia.
      • Brain hemorrhage.

    Cord Cutting

    • Procedure:
      • Apply the first clamp at 2 cm from the umbilical base.
      • Apply the second clamp at 5 cm from the base.
      • Cut close to the first clamp with sterile scissors.

    Breastfeeding

    • Exclusive breastfeeding reduces the risk of death by 22%, but it is still important to ensure that the baby is receiving enough milk.
    • Cup feeding with breastmilk can save lives, prevent illness, and reduce malnutrition.
    • The first breastfeed is often delayed due to incorrect sequencing of actions after birth.
