Study Notes
Pregnancy and Childbirth
Stages of Pregnancy
- Trimesters: Divided into 3 periods of approximately 13 weeks each
- Fetal Development: Major organs and body systems develop during the first trimester
- Fetal Growth: Rapid growth and maturation occur during the second and third trimesters
Pregnancy Complications
- Preeclampsia: High blood pressure, protein in urine, and swelling
- Gestational Diabetes: High blood sugar levels during pregnancy
- Placenta Previa: Placenta covers the cervix, potentially blocking the baby's exit
- Fetal Distress: Fetal heart rate abnormalities or oxygen deprivation
Labor and Delivery
Types of Labor
- Spontaneous Labor: Natural labor onset
- Induced Labor: Artificially stimulated labor
- Augmented Labor: Labor assistance with oxytocin or other medications
Stages of Labor
- Early Labor: Onset of contractions to 3-4 cm dilation
- Active Labor: 4-7 cm dilation, contractions become more intense
- Transition: 7-10 cm dilation, contractions are strongest
- Pushing: 10 cm dilation, mother pushes the baby out
Delivery Methods
- Vaginal Delivery: Baby delivered through the birth canal
- Cesarean Section (C-Section): Surgical delivery through the abdomen
Gynecological Health
Menstrual Cycle
- Phases: Menstruation, follicular phase, ovulation, luteal phase
- Hormonal Regulation: Estrogen and progesterone regulate the cycle
Common Gynecological Conditions
- Endometriosis: Tissue growth outside the uterus, causing pain and infertility
- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): Hormonal imbalance, cysts on ovaries, and infertility
- Vaginitis: Inflammation or infection of the vagina
Contraception and Family Planning
- Hormonal Methods: Birth control pills, patches, rings, and injections
- Barrier Methods: Condoms, diaphragms, and cervical caps
- Intrauterine Devices (IUDs): Copper or hormonal devices inserted into the uterus
