amniotic fluid index - screening tool - uses ultrasound - measures vol of amniotic fluid -to assess fetal well being/placenta funx

Bulging Bag of Water - water between the amniotic sac around your baby and baby's head - When you have a contraction the baby's head presses downwards and the bulging water sac can be seen on the outside of the vagina.

Chorionic Villus Sampling - aspiratn of sml amt of placentl tisue (chorion) - for chrmsml, mtblc, or DNA testing

Fetal Heart Rate - heard w doppler - heard 10-12 wk - norm range 110-160

Group B Streptococcus - 25-33% of women carry in GI + uro tract - usually asymp - infection in new born is invasive, severe, + has long term neuro sequelae - 35-37 wks - get abx before labor (ampicillin or penicillin)

IntraUterine Growth Restrictions - decreased rate of fetal growth - usually due to decr in cell production r/t chronic malnutrtn - 2 types (symmtrc/assym)

IntraUterine Fetal Demise - stillbirth used to describe the death of a baby in the uterus - loss after 20 wk

Non-Stress Test - screening tool - uses electronic fetal monitoring to assess well-being

Gestational HTN - HTN first detected mid pregnancy w/o proteinuria - dx is made postpartum - relatively benign - w/o underlying s/s

Contraction Stress Test - checks to see if your baby will stay healthy during contractions when you are in labor - includes external FHR - done when you are 34 + WKS
