36
gestational trophoblastic disease: Gestational trophoblastic diseases (GTD) include hydatidiform moles
(both complete and partial), invasive moles, and choriocarcinoma
.
(GTD) is a group of rare diseases in which abnormal trophoblast cells grow inside the uterus after conception. In gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD), a tumor develops inside the uterus from tissue that forms after conception (the joining of sperm and egg)
-Trophoblasts are cells that form the outer layer of a blastocyst, which provides nutrients to the embryo, and then develop into a large part of the placenta.
37
Misoprostol
Often sold in pharmacies, misoprostol is inexpensive, easy to store and handle, and is a safe method for people seeking to end their pregnancy. ensures passage of all the products of conception
38
isoimmunization
A condition that happens when a pregnant woman's blood protein is incompatible with the baby's, causing her immune system to react and destroy the baby's blood cells.
39
Methotrexate
The most common drug used to treat ectopic pregnancy is methotrexate. This drug stops cells from growing, which ends the pregnancy. The pregnancy then is absorbed by the body over 4–6 weeks.
40
novice
a person new to or inexperienced in a field or situation.
41
cervical cerclage
Cervical cerclage, also known as a cervical stitch, is a treatment for cervical weakness, when the cervix starts to shorten and open too early during a pregnancy
42
hypovolemic shock
is an emergency condition in which severe blood or other fluid loss makes the heart unable to pump enough blood to the body. This type of shock can cause many organs to stop working
43
hydramnios
is a condition that occurs when too much amniotic fluid builds up during pregnancy. It is also called amniotic fluid disorder, or polyhydramnios. Hydramnios may be caused by diabetes in the mother.
44
fetal anomalies
often referred to as birth defects, are structural changes to one or more parts of the fetus' body that increase the chance of stillbirth and can cause deficiencies in the child's health, development and quality of life.
45
hyperemesis gravidarum
is a rare disorder characterized by severe and persistent nausea and vomiting during pregnancy that may necessitate hospitalization.
46
myomectomy
is the surgical removal of fibroids from the uterus. It allows the uterus to be left in place and, for some women, makes pregnancy more likely than before. Possible cause placienta previa
47
hydatidiform mole
(partial or complete) is a rare mass or growth that forms inside the womb (uterus) at the beginning of a pregnancy.
48
choriocarcinoma
is a fast-growing cancer that occurs in a woman's uterus (womb). The abnormal cells start in the tissue that would normally become the placenta. This is the organ that develops during pregnancy to feed the fetus.
49
placenta accreta
Is a serious pregnancy condition that occurs when the placenta grows too deeply into the uterine wall. Typically, the placenta detaches from the uterine wall after childbirth. With placenta accreta, part or all of the placenta remains attached. This can cause severe blood loss after delivery
50
cervical cerclage, purse string suture
Purse-string sutures are placed in the cervix to prevent it from dilating
51
cytomegalovirus infection
is a common herpesvirus infection with a wide range of symptoms: from no symptoms to fever and fatigue (resembling infectious mononucleosis) to severe symptoms involving the eyes, brain, or other internal organs. This virus is spread through sexual and nonsexual contact with body secretions. Pregnant women acquire active disease primarily from sexual contact, blood transfusions, kissing, and contact with children in day care centers. It can also be spread through vertical transmission from mother to child in utero (causing congenital CMV), during birth, or through breastfeeding.
52
cardiac decompensation
is meant a combination of symptoms and signs that indicate that the heart by reason of its abnormal condition no longer is able to maintain an efficient circulation. which is most common from 28 to 32 weeks' gestation and in the first 48 hours postpartum.
53
craniofacial dysmorphia
Typical craniofacial dysmorphism include brachycephaly, highly arched bushy eyebrows, synophrys, long eyelashes, low-set ears, microdontism of primary teeth, and generalized gingival hyperplasia, whereas Sprengel deformity of scapula, fusion of spine, rib abnormities, pectus excavatum, and pes planus represent skeletal
-dysmorphia: deformity or abnormality in the shape or size of a specified part of the body.
54
A trial birth
is performed when a woman has a borderline (just adequate) inlet measurement and the fetal lie and position are good and involves allowing labor to take its normal course as long as descent of the presenting part and dilation (dilatation) of the cervix continue to occur.
55
Cephalopelvic disproportion (CPD)
occurs when a baby's head or body is too large to fit through the mother's pelvis. It is believed that true CPD is rare, but many cases of “failure to progress” during labor are given a diagnosis of CPD. Prepare the client for a cesarean birth
56
Hypertonic uterine dysfunction
occurs when the uterus never fully relaxes between contractions. Cephalopelvic disproportion is usually associated with hypotonic uterine dysfunction. Poor contraction quality and intensity are associated with hypotonic uterine dysfunction. Incomplete uterine relaxation between contractions is associated with hypertonic uterine dysfunction.
57
Nulliparous”
is a fancy medical word used to describe a woman who hasn't given birth to a child.
58
Precipitate labor
is one that is completed in less than 3 hours from the start of contractions to birth.
59
protracted disorders
refers to a series of events including protracted active phase dilation (slower-than-normal rate of cervical dilation [dilatation]) and protracted descent (delayed descent of the fetal head in the active phase). A laboring woman with a slower-than-normal rate of cervical dilation is said to have a protracted labor pattern disorder.
60
Fetal face presentation
is a problem with the passenger affecting labor progress.
61
hypertonic contractions
is that the lack of relaxation between contractions may not allow optimal uterine artery filling; this can lead to fetal anoxia early in the latent phase of labor. Applying a uterine and a fetal external monitor will help identify that the resting phase between contractions is adequate and that the FHR is not showing late deceleration.
62
Amnioinfusion
is the addition of a sterile fluid into the uterus to supplement the amniotic fluid and reduce compression on the cord.
63
water intoxication
Also known as water poisoning, water intoxication is a disruption of brain function caused by drinking too much water. Doing so increases the amount of water in the blood. This can dilute the electrolytes, especially sodium, in the blood.
64
A breech position
is one in which the fetal presenting part is the buttocks or feet
65
A succenturiate placenta
can be first identified with a sonogram as the placenta is composed of several lobes instead of being one structure. A danger of this type of placental formation is that a lobe may tear and remain in the uterus after delivery. Assessment for hemorrhage is most important following delivery and in the postpartum period.
66
Transverse lie
is a fetal malposition and is a cause for labor dystocia. The fetus would need to be turned to the occipital position using external version or be born via cesarean birth. Piper forceps are used in the birth of a fetus that is in the breech position.
67
posterior position
experience back pain while in labor. Pressure against the back by a support person often reduces this type of pain.
68
four P’s
which are passageway, passenger, power and psyche.
69
occipito-anterior position.
The best position for your baby to be in for labour and birth is head down, facing your back - so that their back is towards the front of your tummy. This is called the occipito-anterior position. It allows them to move more easily through the pelvis.
70
a trial of labour
is the conduction of spontaneous labour in a moderate degree of cephalopelvic disproportion. It is performed under close observation by an obstetrician in order to assess a woman's chances of a successful vaginal birth.
71
cephalic presentation
Ideally for labor, the baby is positioned head-down, facing the mother's back with the chin tucked to its chest and the back of the head ready to enter the pelvis. This position is called cephalic presentation. Most babies settle into this position within the 32nd to 36th weeks of pregnancy.
72
External cephalic version
, or version, is a procedure used to turn a fetus from a breech position or side-lying (transverse) position into a head-down (vertex) position before labor begins. When successful, version makes it possible for you to try a vaginal birth.
73
A laminaria tent
A laminaria tent is a small rod of dehydrated seaweed that when inserted in the cervix, rehydrates, absorbing the water from the surrounding tissue in the woman's body. Laminaria expands up to ten times its original size, slowly opening the cervix, and when removed, creates easier access to the uterus.
74
cervical ripening
During pregnancy, the cervix is closed to keep the baby inside the uterus. Once you labor begins, your cervix will open, or dilate wide enough to let the baby come through. When the cervix changes from being closed and firm to soft and thin, this is called cervical ripening.
75
Amniotomy,
also known as artificial rupture of membranes (AROM) and by the lay description "breaking the water," is the intentional rupture of the amniotic sac by an obstetrical provider. This procedure is common during labor management and has been performed by obstetrical providers for at least a few hundred years.
76
Fetopelvic disproportion
Fetopelvic disproportion is any clinically significant mismatch between the size or shape of the presenting part of the fetus and the size or shape of the maternal pelvis and soft tissue.
77
The McRoberts maneuver
The McRoberts maneuver is an obstetrical maneuver used to assist in childbirth. It is named after William A. McRoberts, Jr. It is employed in case of shoulder dystocia during childbirth and involves hyperflexing the mother's legs tightly to her abdomen.
78
Shoulder dystocia
Shoulder dystocia is a birth injury that happens when one or both of a baby's shoulders get stuck inside the mother's pelvis during labor. In most cases of shoulder dystocia, babies are born safely. But it can cause problems for both mom and baby.
-dystocia: difficult birth, typically caused by a large or awkwardly positioned fetus, by smallness of the maternal pelvis, or by failure of the uterus and cervix to contract and expand normally.
79
von Willebrand disease
von Willebrand disease is a congenital bleeding disorder, inherited as an autosomal dominant trait, that is characterized by a prolonged bleeding time, a deficiency of von Willebrand factor, and impairment of platelet adhesion
80
multiparity
the production of two or more young at a birth
81
A plugged (or blocked) duct
A plugged (or blocked) duct is an area of the breast where milk flow is obstructed.
82
an·te·par·tum
Antepartum means “before childbirth.” Antepartum depression happens only during pregnancy. It's also sometimes called maternal depression, prenatal depression, and perinatal depression
83
Non-elective caesarean delivery
Non-elective caesarean delivery due to ineffective uterine contractility or due to obstructed labour in relation to maternal body mass index.
