Q

What is complete breech?

A

Fetal buttocks in pelvis with both hips and knees flexed.
Squatting, sitting cross legged

17
Q

What is footling breech?

A

Fetal hips are deflexed and both or one knee is extended resulting in both/one foot presenting.
Not favourable for vag birth
More likely for prolapsed cord and irregular dilating surface, fetal entrapment

Q

How does IFHB work?

A
  • Managed through Medavie Blue Cross (MBC)
  • It’s a (seemingly) simple online or mailed form to sign up

A

No, they are citizens so have MSP

27
Q

What is sickle cell disease?

A
  • Homozygous SS disease – autosomal recessive inherited disorder where hemoglobin S is produced instead of hemoglobin A. (1)

Q

Sickle cell train in pregnancy?

A

Usually asymptomatic:
Genetic counselling, increase incidence of UTIs, lessen accuracy of Hb A1C testing.
