Early signs of pregnancy
If a women takes an at home urine preg test and it is positive what is the range of b-hCG? Which test is able to detect pregnancy sooner?
+ urine b hCG = Serum b h CG > 25-50
serum can detect preg faster (5 days -1 wk after conception vs 2 wks for urine test)
When is the EGA ideally determined by?
What does EGA mean?
What two terms are used synonymously to indicated this?
6-8 wks GA
EGA = due date
- EDD = estimated deliv date
- EDC = estim date of confinement
What is the formula for Naegle’s Rule to calculate the EDD?
What measurement provides an accurate EDD?
EDD = (LMP - 3 mo) + 7 days
Crown Rump Length (CRL) provides accurate EDD
What 2 things on US confirm a viable pregnancy?
When on US are these 2 things typically visible?
What measurements are used later in the preg ( > 12 wks) to confirm it? 4 measurements?
Viable Pregnancy confirmed w/:
- Fetal pole at 6 wks
- FHM (fetal heart motion) at 6.5 wks
Hadlock measurements used later in preg to confirm it
- BPD - biparietal diameter
- FL - femur length
- AC - abd circumference
- HC - head circum
When determining due date and there is a larger than normal discrepancy b/t LMP and US EDD what should be used?
EDD determined by US
How do you document a women’s OB Hx (what system)?
What does para stand for?
What does each of the 5 letters stand for?
What is the notation for a women who had 1 pregnancy with twins to full term, both now living
GTPAL system
P: para = # of births
G: gravida = # of preg T: term deliv (> 37 wks) P:Preterm deliv (> 20 wks) A: abortion (< 20 wks) L: # of Living kids
NOTE: twins = ONLY 1 PREGNANCY and DELIVERY
1 pregnancy with twins to full term, both now living= G1P1002
2 MC CA dx during preg?
BCA and cervical CA
What is the recommended wt gain for a preg woman w/normal BMI
What if under vs overwt/obese (general wt gain)
What is baby at risk for if inadequate wt gain? 3 things if too much wt gain?
norm BMI –> gain 25-35 lbs
underwt –> gain more
overwt/obese –> gain less (DONT LOSE WT)
inadequate wt gain –> restricted preterm growth
gain too much wt–> poor preg outcomes, macrosomia, postpartum obesity
Recommended 30 min/day for 3-5 days/wk of exercise at usual activity level during preg ….what is not advised for exercise?
What can lead to neural tube defects?
dont start new aggressive exercise regimen
HOT things –> risk of neural tube defects (hot yoga, hot tubs, saunas)
What vaccines should be avoid during preg and why?
2 vaccines encouraged to get while preg?
avoid live vaccines while pregnant –> can cause fetal malformations
- influenza
- Tdap
Why is Tdap given in EVERY preg during 3 trimester?
Tdap –> prev pertussis in BABY
Travel during preg:
- when should you avoid travel?
- What should you do every 2 hrs when traveling? why?
- avoid travel > 36 wks
2. move every 2 hrs —> prevent VTE
Prenatal vitamins:
- when to start them?
- Why is 400 mcg of Folic Acid given? when should dose be increased?
- other two things to given while preg?
Too much caffeine may incr risk of _____
- start vit 1 month before trying to conceive
- folic acid prev neural tube defects
- incr dose to 4 mg if h/o neural tube defects - DHA, Iron
Too much caffeine may incr risk of miscarriage
Fundal Ht at prenatal visits:
- when do you start assessing?
- How to measure?
- how should it correspond to GA?
- When is it not reliable? (3)
- where should fundus be at 20 wks?
- start assessing at > 20 wks
- measure pubic symphysis to fundus
- how should it correspond to GA?
- fundal ht should be +/- 2 cm of GA (28 wks = 26-30 cm) - When is it not reliable? (3)
- obese
- twin preg
- large fibroids - fundus should be at level of umbilicus at 20 wks
What 2 things are you primarily screening for during genetic testing of preg women?
Note: genetic tests are not diagnostic, they only indic woman’s risk vs women her age ( + screen = higher than age related risk)
- Aneuploidy (Trisomy 13, 18, 21)
2. Neural tube defects
