What is the goal? of pregnancy
always what
always healthy mom and healthy baby
- want baby in as long as possible as long as its healthy for mom and baby
Fetal Movement Count (kick counts) non invasive
what counts as a kick
when are babies most active
when do they slow down
all fetal momvemnt is counted as a kick
Babies are more active in third trimsester
Does slow down at 36 weeks due to low space
Fetal Movement Count (kick counts) non invasive- When?
around when
mothers feel what
Around 18-20 weeks
- mothers feel quickening/fluttering feeling
Fetal Movement Count (kick counts) non invasive- How?
give what
do it how
count alll for how long
Give a chart,
do It at same time every day, in same position,
count all movements for a full hour
Fetal Movement Count (kick counts) non invasive- Mom should become concerned when
how Many in how much time
there is less then 10 movements in 3 hours
Fetal Movement Count (kick counts) non invasive
After about 20-30 minutes- if you don’t feel anything-
change
drink what
eat what
then if nothing you do what
change position,
drink juice/high sugar,
eat a snack
, and if there is no movement you need to be seen because there could be an issue.
when are babies the most active
Babies tend to be the most active when mom sits down

What will the nurse do?- how do you measure
measure from the start of the incline to the end of the decline
Is it reactive (accelerations?)
are they a good sign
what are they
What will the nurse do?
positive sign
Accelerations are short-term rises in the heart rate of at least 15 beats per minute,
lasting at least 15 seconds
Early decels
what does it mean

head is compressed
monitor-not too signifiant
LAte decels
what does it mean
how do you help mom(change / prepare / give)
What will the nurse do?
uterine placental problems
change moms positions
prepare for c section
give oxygen 10-15 liters
Variable decels
what are they
what will nurse do(r/ give/ may need)
variable decals are when the decals dip variably- no real structure to them
reposition
give oxygen
may need c section

want how many accelerations
want to see what
nurse will get a 20 minute strip-
want 2 accelerations for baby-
want to see a reactive stress test
Non stress test (NST)- if Non reactive-(not good)
need what
may need
dont have time for what
baby goes where

change
drink
eat
change positions
, drink sugary drinks,
eat snacks
Non stress test (NST)
keep in mind what
also trying to figure out what
Keep in mind that baby can hear- try to figure out if they are more active when family or dogs or something is around

immediate c section
Ultrasonography: Biophysical Profile
5 variables to assess
B
A
T
M
N
B-breathing
A-amniotic fluid

not able to go through labor, will need to have c/s
Contraction Stress Test (CST)
when Mom gets admitted-
get what in her
give what
have what at bedside
get an iv in her-
give small amounts of iv Pitocin to see how baby handles it
have tocolytic at bedside in the case that baby doesn’t tolerate-
if baby cannot handle Pitocin -contraction stress test
shows what
then you do what
will need what
If baby doesn’t handle it and has decels on heart rate-
reverse Pitocin with tocolytic
will need c section

p l
or really
premature labor,
