Q

First Trimester Screening

  1. For who
  2. What you do
  3. EXs
A
  1. Not in risk
  2. Amniocentesis has higher chance of termination of pregnancy then chance of genetic problem happening = do screening (if that is elevated then to amniocentesis)
  3. Fetal Nuchal Translucency = NT thickness (back of neck)
    + [low PAPP-A + elevated B-hCG = 80% trisomy21 detection]

Q

Pregnancy and Lactation Labeling Rule

28
Q

Factor that effect how safe a drug is when taken during pregnancy

A
  1. Dose and how many a day
  2. Other factors that cause fetus to be susceptible
  3. Timing : day 17-56 post conception , organogenesis
  4. If combined with other agent
29
Q

Most common teratogen and 2 others

A
  1. Alcohol (microcephaly, low ears, flat midface)
  2. Antianxiety medication (meprobamate, chlordiazepoxide) = use FLUOXETINE
  3. Antineoplastic (aminopterinm methotrexate)
  4. Anticoagulants (Coumadin) use HEPARIN or lovnox
  5. Anticonvulsants (Diphenyldantoin = fetal hydantoin syndrome, cardio and growth restriction)
30
Q

Anticonvulsants what cause problems in pregnancies

A
  1. Valproic Acid : spina bifida, cardiac, skeletal
  2. Carbamazepine (spina bifida, craniofacial)
  3. Phenobarbital with others drugs
31
Q

2 Hormones that can cause fetal problems

A
  1. Estrogen/Progesterone OCP : masculinization of female external genitalia)
  2. DES : cervical cancer, vaginal Cancer, testicular abnormalities, T-heaped uterus
32
Q

Retinoid and preg

A

Avoid

50% chance abortion, cardio and cranial and CNS problems

33
Q
  1. Tobacco
  2. Drugs illicit
  3. Infections
    Can do what
A
  1. Short weight and growth
  2. Fetal drug dependence
  3. Congenital problems, growth and mental problems (bulging eyes, depressed nose, triangle mouth = CMV at 1st trimester)

Q

Radiation effect

  1. Problem
  2. No problem
  3. How much
A
  1. 2 -6 weeks : problems
  2. Before 2 weeks : nothing or miscarriage nothing inbetween ( so if no miscarriage then all is fine)

When do you have the most preg sx

A

100,000 hCG at 10 weeks

N, V, avoid greasy foods, small meals, salt crackers, room temp soda, zofran, phenergan, VitB6

36
Q

What causes this in pregnancy:

  1. Heartburn
  2. Constipation
  3. Hemorrhoids
  4. Leg cramps
  5. Backache
A
  1. High P, esophageal sphincter relaxes
  2. Low colonic activity
  3. Venous P in rectum increased (elevate legs, stool softeners)
  4. Last half of preg, at night, massage and stretch
  5. Weight is central front (belts, pillow, massage, heat)
37
Q

How often do you meet with preg pt

A
  1. Every 4 weeks until 28weeks
  2. Every 2 weeks until 36 weeks

38
Q

BMI recommend weight gain + urine Protein used for

A
  1. Under 19 = 28-40lb
  2. 19-25 = 25-35lb
  3. Over 25 = 15-25lb

= urine protein test for preeclampsia

39
Q

Uterus size means

A

Amount of cm top of fundus to pubic bone = weeks pregnant

40
Q

Fetal HR heard with

A
  1. After 12 weeks = Doppler device **

2 how

A
  1. When Nonstress test is nonreactive
