Normal And Abnormal Pregnancy - Dr. Moulton Flashcards
Folic Acid in pregnancy
- Should be over 0.4mg (give supp)
2. If mom has had previous NTD then make sure her level is at 4.0mg
G P
G = number times pregnant P = number of births (infant over 500g) = Florida P&L (F - full, P - pre, A - abortion, L - living)
G and P of a person with twins
G1 P1002 = 2 kids
G and P of pt with 1 term infant, 2 preterm twins, 1 miscarriage,1 ectopic , 3 living children
G 4 P1123
Signs physical that can tell you a women is pregnant 6
- Systolic murmurs, exaggerated splitting and S3
- Palmar erythema
- Spider angioma
- Lines nigra
- Striae gravidarum = stretch marks
- Chadwicks sign = blue color to cervix
Prenatal labs to do
- CBC, blood Rh type
- Rubella postpartum
- Syphilis
- HepB, HIV
- Pap : chlamydia, gonorrhea
- DM
- Urine culture
Plt and Factor 7-10, nd Hb hct levels during preg
- PLT : decrease
- Factor 7-10 increase
- Hb : decrease
- Hct: decrease
Gestational age
Last menstrual period date and delivery date
HCG can be seen when and how does it increase
7-8 days after ovulation
= increasing : doubling every 2 days for first 30 days** used for ectopic vs IUP when unsure
When can you do transvaginal US and see something **
At about 5 weeks, during Discriminatory phase when hCG is 1500-2000 (Gestational Sac seen)
When do you see fetal pole and when do you see cardiac activity
- Fetal pole = 6 weeks, hCG 5200
2. Cardiac activity = 7 weeks , hCG 17,500
Fetal pole measurement with cardiac activity
If fetal pole if over 5mm and no cardiac activity = fetal demise
Naegels rule
Estimate delivery date in women with 28 day cycle
= minus 3 months + 7 days
Gestational age can be predicted how
US
- 1st trimester (6-11 weeks): crown rump length (CRL) = off by 3-4 days
- 2nd trimester femur length, abd circumference : off by 10 days
- 3rd trimester : off by 3 weeks
Most common 1 chr and 3 chr causing abortion (SAB, spontaneous abortion)
- 46 XO = turner
- Trisomy 16
= most common is trisomy causing SAB
How to dx for any genetic condition of baby
Chorionic villus sampling, amniocentesis
AR disorders to screen for
- Tay-Sachs , high in Jewish, Eastern Europe)
2. CF (North America whites, 1:25, screen all pregnant women, parents with echogenic bowel, sperm donors)
Sex linked disorders primary effect and 2 most common ones
Males , Females only carry it + NO male to male transmission
- Fragile X : most common inherited mental retardation , trisomy 21 is second most common
- DMD
Multifactorial Disorders 3 types
- NTD (spins bifida)
- Cleft lip
- Congenital heart defects
First Trimester Screening
- For who
- What you do
- EXs
- Not in risk
- Amniocentesis has higher chance of termination of pregnancy then chance of genetic problem happening = do screening (if that is elevated then to amniocentesis)
- Fetal Nuchal Translucency = NT thickness (back of neck)
+ [low PAPP-A + elevated B-hCG = 80% trisomy21 detection]
