Ordinary physical activity “causes no discomfort”
Class I / Uncompromised
What classification: during less than ordinary activity, woman experiences excessive fatigue, palpitations, dyspnea, or anginal pain
Markedly compromised / Class 3
What classification: ordinary physical activity causes excessive fatigue, palpitation, and dyspnea or anginal pain
Slightly compromised / Class 2
What classification: woman is unable to carry out any physical activity without experiencing discomfort.
Severely Compromised / Class 4
Pregnant women in the past was “not advised to get pregnant to the increase blood volume and increase work load of the heart”
Women with Artificial Valve Prosthesis
What to watch out for SUBCLINICAL BLEEDING/HEMOLYSIS
- Petechiae
- Premature separation of placenta
Women who have this is “usually associated with atherosclerosis or renal disease and usually puts the mother and the fetus at risk”
Women with chronic hypertensive vascular disorder
Women with DVT increases with a combination of the ff:
- Stasis of blood in the lower extremities from uterine pressure
- Hypercoagulability
- Vessel Damage
What are the risk of developing Deep Vein Thrombosis
- Spontaneous miscarriage
- Fetal death
- Hypertension of pregnancy
- Anti-phospholipid antibodies / anti-phospholipid syndrome
