FUNDAL GRIP

32

UMBILICAL GRIP

32
Q

A

PAWLIK’S GRIP

32
Q

33
Q

The Leopold maneuver provides important information about the fetus, these are:

34
Q

Fetal movement can be felt by the mother (Quickening) at ?

A

18-20 weeks

35
Q

What are the 6 parameters?

A

Fetal breathing movements
Fetal movement
Fetal tone
Amniotic fluid volume
Fetal heart reactivity
Placental grade

35
Q

a prenatal test that combines an ultrasound and a nonstress test to check the health of the fetus. It’s usually performed in the third trimester of pregnancy and is painless and noninvasive;10 is a perfect score, if four parameters are used, 8 is a perfect score. A score of 4-6 denotes a fetus in jeopardy; The results are scored using a system called Manning’s score, where each area is scored as either 0 (abnormal) or 2 (normal). A total score of 8 or 10 is normal, while 6 is borderline, and 4 or less is abnormal ?

A

biophysical profile

35

THIRD TRIMESTER

37
Q

Physiologic Changes of Pregnancy are?

A

1.Integumentary System
-Striae Gravidarum
-Diastasis Recti
-Linea Nigra
-Melasma (Chloasma
2. Respiratory System
- Shortness of breath
Diaphragm may be displaced by 4cm upward
Respiratory rate increased by or 1 or 2/minute
- Nasal congestion or stuffiness – as a response to increased estrogen levels
3. Temperature
- Slight increase, as the placenta takes over the function of the corpus luteum at about 16 weeks, the temperature generally decreases to normal.
4. Cardiovascular System
- Increase in the total cardiac volume
- Easy fatigability and shortness of breath
- Heart murmurs
- Palpitations
- Edema and varicosities of the vulva, rectum and legs
- Fibrinogen level is increased by 50%
- Elevated white blood count
- Increase platelet count
- Increase blood lipid level
- Supine Hypotension Syndrome
5. Gastrointestinal System
- Heart Burn
- Constipation
- Flatulence
- Morning Sickness
- Hyperptyalism
6. Urinary System
- Urinary frequency
- Urinary stasis
- Urethral and kidney dilation
- Increase Glomerular Filtration Rate by 50%
7. Skeletal System
- Softening of the pelvic ligaments and joints (hormone relaxin)
- Lordosis increasing
- Leg cramps
8. Endocrine System
The placenta produces large amount of:
Estrogen – “hormone of women”
Progesterone – “hormone of mothers”
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HcG) – present in maternal blood and urine ( this is the hormone analyzed by pregnancy tests)
Human Placental Lactogen or Human Somatomammotropin – serves as antagonist to insulin
Relaxin – responsible for helping inhibit uterine activity and soften the cervix and collagen in body joints.
Prostaglandin – affect smooth muscle contractility to such an extent they may be the trigger that initiates labor at the pregnancy term
