40
Q

..but the fetus is nonviable

41
Q

Abnormal vaginal bleeding
Uterine size greater than dates

Preeclampsia like symptoms before 20 wks

A

presentation of complete or partial molar pregnancy

42
Q

Tx of benign or low risk tumors vs malignant GTD tumors

A

Benign….chemo

Malignant..chemo with or without radiation or surgery

43
Q

what can happen 1/80 births

A

twins

*prenatal visits should occur more frequently!

44
Q

2/3 of twins are…

A

dizygotic (or fraternal)

..formed by the fertilization of 2 ova

45
Q

Fam hx
Those taking fertility drugs
Mothers above average weight and height
African american women

A

more likely to have dizygotic (fraternal) twins

46
Q

These types of twins occur randomly and are associated with fetal transfusion syndrome and discordant fetal growth

A

Monozygotic twins (fertilization of 1 ovum)

47
Q

Most common complications of multiple gestation…

A

spontaneous abortion or preterm birth

preeclampsia and anemia more likely also

48
Q

Carbohydrate intolerance of variable severity that is only present during pregnancy

A

Gestational diabetes

lifetime risk increased by 50% to developing diabetes later

49
Q

Preeclampsia
Hyper acceleration of general diabetic complications
Traumatic births (including shoulder dystocia)

A

Maternal complications with gestational diabetes

50
Q

Macrosomia
Prematurity
Feal demie
Delayed fetal lung maturity

A

Fetal complications with gestational diabetes

51
Q

Obtain a random glucose on all pregnant women during the….

A

first prenatal visit!!

..repeat at 24-48 weeks

52
Q

Managed with diet and exercise

*must check blood glucose levels daily

A

Management of gestational diabetes

53
Q

Delivery of a viable infant before 37 weeks gestation

*most common cause of neonatal deaths not resulting from congenital abnormalities

A

Preterm labor

54
Q
  1. Developmental delays
  2. Cerebral palsy
  3. Lung disease
A

More likely in low birth weight infants

55
Q

Smoking, cocaine use, uterine malformations, cervical impotence, infections, low pre pregnancy weight

A

Increase risk of pre term labor

56
Q

Defined as regular uterine contractions (greater than 4-6 per hour) between 20-36 weeks gestation and the presence of 1 or more..

  1. dilation greater of 2cm or greater on presentation
  2. dilation of 1cm or greater on serial exams
  3. cervical effacement of greater than 80%
A

Preterm labor

57
Q

A length of 2 cm at 24 weeks gestation increases risk to deliver _________

A

prematurely

58
Q

Rupture of the amniotic membranes before the onset of labor at or beyond 37 weeks of gestation

A

premature rupture of membranes (PROM)

*90% of women will go into spontaneous labor after PROM

59
Q

Chorioamnionitis and endometritis increased risk of….

A

premature rupture of membranes (PROM)

60
Q

Abnormal labor, which occurs when the cervix fails to dilate progressively over time and the fetus fails to descend

A

Dystocia

61
Q

3 P’s that can cause abnormalities in labor/delivery

A
  1. Pelvis..sometimes pelvis not lg enough!
  2. Powers..refers to the strength of contractions that are needed to dilate the cervix

62
Q

What drug can you give if contractions are inadequate

A

Oxytocin (Pitocin)

63

Dystocia

64
Q

The birth of the fetus through an incision in the abdominal and uterine walls (about 32% of deliveries in US)

A

C section

65
Q

most common causes of C sections

66
Q

Greater chance of thromboembolic events, increased bleeding and development of infection

A

Risks of C section

67
Q

A low transverse uterine incision is usually made because of…

A

decreased blood loss associated with it!

68
Q

This is considered when prolongation of pregnancy might expose the mother or fetus to complications and when vaginal delivery is not contraindicated

A

Induction of labor

69
Q

Prostaglandin gel put directly on cervix

..is this used for early or late induction?

A

EARLY

70

third leading cause of maternal mortality in advanced gestation

73
Q

Occurs less than 24 hours after delivery and is associated with abnormal involution of placental site, cervical or vagina lacerations and retained portions of placenta

74
Q

75
Q
  • Initially, uterine massage and compression
