what are three ways to Dx infertility?
semen analysis, ovarian reserve evaluation, tubal evaluation
what are medication options for infertility? (7)
clomiphene citrate (MC for PCOS), letrozole (aromatase inhibitor), human menopausal gonadotropin, FSH, GnRH, metformin, dopamine agonists (bromocriptine or cabergoline)
normal changes in pregnancy: cardiac
increased blood volume, CO, HR (by 10-15 bpm). increase plasma and RBC volume = anemia
increase clotting factors = hypercoaguable
decreased systemic vascular resistance, BP (in 2nd trimester - normalizes in third)
normal changes in pregnancy: pulmonary
increased tidal volume and minute ventilation = respiratory alkalosis
normal changes in pregnancy: renal
increase GFR, decreased urea + creatinine
normal changes in pregnancy: GI
constipation, increase GERD,
changes in bile composition = increase risk of cholestasis, hyperbilirubinemia + jaundice
normal changes in pregnancy: genital
vaginal pH decreases and increase glycogen in vaginal epithelium= increased risk chorioamnionitis
when is fundal height at the pubic symphysis ?
12 wks
when are doppler heart tones heard?
10 wks -12 wks
what is the rate of serum beta-HcG increase in pregnancy?
doubles every 2 days in early pregnancy
how many days after conception is serum and urine BhCG detected?
Serum HcG detect 5days after conception
Urine HcG detects 14days after conception
when is “quickening” felt? (fetal movement by mom)
16-20 wks (earlier in multigravida moms)
when is fetus able to detect on pelvic US
5-6 wks
“signs” of changes in pregnancy: ladins, hegars, piskaceks, goodell’s, chadwicks
Uterus changes: ladin’s sign (uterus softens after 6 wks); hegar’s sign (uterine isthmus softens after 6-8wks); Piskacek’s sign (palpable lateral bulge or softening of uterine corneus 7-8wks)
Cervix changes: goodell’s sign (cervical softening 4-5wks), chadwick’s sign (blue cervix/vulva 8-12 wks)
EDD (Naegele’s rule)
1st day of LMP + 7 days - 3 months.
when is 50g GTT for DM checked if pt HAS risk factors? if they dont? when level indicates a second test?
risk factors: prenatal screen
none: 28 wks.
50gm glucola on ALL pts, if >130-140 at 1hr → do 100g 3hr GTT w/in a week.
GDM is Dx if 3hr test shows 2 of the following. >95 fasting, >180 1hr, >155 2hr >140 3hrs
what infectious diseases are screen in prenatal visit?
HepB, HIV, Syphilis, rubella titer
what are the first, second and third trimesters?
1-12, 13-27, 28-42 (or birth)
what is included in the “first trimester screening” ? what levels would increase risk? when is it done?
done @ 10-13wks
abnormal high or low HcG level, low PAPP-A + thickened nuchal translucency (10-13wks w/ US), combined with maternal age = patient-specific risk level or anueoploidy (trisomy 18, down syndrome)
IF there is increased risk for genetic abnormality of the baby, when is chorionic villus sampling done?
10-13wks.
what does NIPT look for and when is it done?
10 wks, cell-free DNA looks for increased risk of aneuoploidy, extra or missing X, Y.
when is the “quad screen” done and what do abnormal levels indicate?
15-20 :check alpha fetoprotein, B-hCG, estradiol + inhibin A
High BhCG and others low = down syndrome
All low = trisomy 18
High alpha fetoprotein = open neural tube defect (spina bifida)
Inhibin A: high levels = chromosomal abnormalities
when is Rh tested and when is Rhogam given (if needed) ?
tested prenatal and @ 28wks
given @ 28 wks + 72hrs after birth (or if blood mixing)
when is GBS screen done? what is the txt if positive?
screen 32-37wks (vaginal/rectal culture); Txt with PCN G when in labor
when are these tested? HgB/Hct, Antibody Screen, VDRL, RPR, HIV
prenatal + again at 28 wks
what is a BPP ?
Fetal breathing, fetal tones, amniotic fluid level/index (AFI) [weekly], NST + gross fetal movements [2 points for each]
< 4 is abnormal, 8-10 is ideal
when do twice weekly NSTs start (w/ AFI once per week)?
41 wks
why and when would a BPP be ordered?
if you are a high risk pregnancy, typically starting after week 24 or 32 wks
what is considered a “high risk” pregnancy? and reason for a BPP? (9)
have a history of pregnancy complications have high blood pressure, diabetes, or heart disease are at least 2 weeks past your due date have a history of pregnancy loss have abnormal amniotic fluid levels have obesity (BMI greater than 30) are older than 35 are carrying multiples are Rh negative
reactive vs nonreactive NST
Reactive (good): >2 accelerations in 20min, increased FHR >15bpm from baseline lasting >15second → repeat weekly
Non Reactive (bad): no accelerations or <15bpm <15seconds. = sleeping/immature/compromised → vibratory stimulation, may try contraction stress test
what is the routine followup schedule in pregnancy?
Q4wks until 28wks, Q2 wks 28-36wks, Qweek 36-41 wks.
what are the 3 stages of birth?
I: onset of labor (true contractions) → full dilation of cervix: latent + active (rapid dilation at 5-6cm) phase
II: full dilation → delivery of fetus: passive + active phase (active maternal expulsive efforts)
III: delivery of fetus → delivery of placenta: lasts 0-30min.
