- Adolescence
Prenatal stage subcats:
Germinal
Embryologic
Fetal
Prenatal Development
How many trimesters?
3!
Prenatal Development
First trimester→ Conception-12wks
Key Points:
- Heart beats Week 4
- Neural tube closes Week 6; check for issues when neural tube closes
- First trimester mvmts bw 7-15wks gestation
- Mvmt greatly expands after 9wks w/ isolated limb mvmts
- Breathing mvmts seen by 12 weeks
Prenatal Development
Second Trimester→ 13-28wks
Key Points:
- Dev. continues w/ no NEW mvmts
- Sleep cycles around 26-28wks gestation
- **Surfactant: 27-30wks
Prenatal Development
Third Trimester→ 29-40wks
Key Points:
- Generalized mvmt DECs (tigher space in womb)
-
Bw 37 and 40wks gestation→ Fetus begins birth process
- “Full-term” babies
Correcting Age for Prematurity
Example #1:
- Gestational age= actual age based on birth date
-
Corrected (adjusted) Age= actual age in weeks minus weeks premature
- For babies born before: 36wks and 6 days → correct until age 2
-
6 mo old baby born @ 28wks
- Weeks premature→ 12wks (3mos)- 40-28=12
- Gestational age in wks→ 28 wks old
- Corrected age in wks→ Actual age (wks) - wks premature= 28-12= 16
- *At 6mos they are currently 3mos
Correcting Age for Prematurity
Ex. #2
- 40 minus weeks born = weeks premature
- Born on date, todays date: its been __ months
- __ months converted into #weeks (multiply by 4)
- Ex. 2mos=8weeks
- Weeks from current date since birth date minus weeks premature== Corrected age
-
Ex. 40-33wks=7wks→ born on 1/18/19 and today is 3/18/19== 8 wks (2mos)
- born 33wks so 7wks premature
- 8 (wks from current date since birthdate) - 7 (wks premature) = 1 week (corrected age)
- born 33wks so 7wks premature
