Elevated LFTs
Low Platelets

27
Q

Hepatic System

are the prego’s hypercoagable

A

yes

28
Q

Stages!!

what are the stages of ppregnancy

A

1st- contractions to 10cm
2nd- full dilation to delivery of baby
3rd- delivery of baby to delivery of placenta

29
Q

Visceral pain comes from where?

Q

somatic pain comes from where?
what nerves

A

stretching of vagina and perineum

b/c we want the mom to push (we want her to participate in birth)
epidural allows participation
spinal doesn’t allow participation
