number of pregnancies
Gravidity
Term
term births or pregnancies delivered
Preterm
pregnancy that has reached 20
weeks of gestation but ends before comple-
tion of 37 weeks of gestation
Abortions and Miscarriages

Antepartum: BP should rise no more than __ points systolic from previous baseline normal
30
Antepartum: BP should rise no more than __ points diastolic from previous baseline normal
15
Antepartum: Average respiration is
16 to 24 breaths per minute
At approx 28 to 32 weeks, plasma volume
increases by 25 to 40%, resulting in normal hemodilution.
At approx 28 to 32 weeks, plasma volume increases by 25 to 40%, resulting in normal hemodilution. Therefore high Hct values
are actually a bad thing and indicate gestational HTN
Check urine: normal albumin level is
trace
preeclampsia
pregnancy HTN
Glucose: no more than __ in a normal finding
1+
Check urine: normal protein level is
trace
