OB Flashcards
Discriminatory zone
b-hCG 1500-2000 - 5 weeks
when gestational sac should be visible on TVUS
Naegele’s rule
1st day of LMP + 7 days - 3 mo + 1 yr
Gs and Ps
G - number pregnancies P - number of births -F - term births -P - preterm births less than 37 wks -A - abortions before 20 weeks -L - living children
Physiologic changes in pregnancy
BMR increases 10-20% - need 100-300 more calories/day
Plasma volume increases 30-50%, RBC mass increases 20-30%
- > physiologic anemia
- > systolic murmur, S3
Cardiac output increases 30-50%
BP decreases in early pregnancy -> nadir at 24-26 wks, return to normal by term
Relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter -> GERD
Increase GFR -> decreased BUN and Cr
Increased procoagulation factors -> hypercoaguable state through first few weeks postpartum
Age of viability
24 weeks
Wt gain in pregnancy - Underweight - BMI less than 18.5 Normal Overweight (BMI 25-29.9) Obese (BMI >30)
Under - 28-40
Normal - 25-35

2nd trimester: US and fetal echo
3rd trimester: fetal surveillance, US: look for macrosomia
Consider C/S if EFW more than 4500g
Induction at 39-40 weeks
Infant complications in gestational diabetes
still birth
macrosomia
neonatal hypoglycemia
Maternal complications in gestational diabetes
preeclampsia
