Define Fetal Viability
Fertilization to 8wks (10wks gestation)
> 8wks until birth (>10wks gestation)
20-24wks of gestation
Define Previable
Define Previable Birth
Why is gestational age two weeks older than fertilization age?
Infant delivered <24wks

Define Placenta Previa
What are the 3 types and associated MC Sx
Placenta near/on cervical os
MC: 3rd trimester painless hemorrhage (8th mon):
Marginalis: at os margin
Partialis: covers part of os
Centralis: covers os
Define Abruptio Placentae
What are two RFs of Abruptio Placentae
What is the difference in presenting bleeds of an abruption?
Painful, premature detachment of placenta
Pre-Eclampsia
Chronic HTN
Marginal: external
Central: hemorrhage hidden
What layer is defected if a placenta Accreta/Increta/Percreta occurs?
Define Vasa Previa
A: placenta adheres to wall, deficient Nitabuch/decidua basalis
I: myometrium invasion
P: myometrium/structures penetrated
Umbilical vessels between head and cervical os; easily torn, fetal death d/t exsanguination
Common w/ multiple gestations
Define Velamentous Placenta
PTs presenting w/ Vasa Previa need to delivery baby via ?
Cord/vessels entering placenta separately
C-section at 35-37wks
Define Gravida
Define Parity
Number of pregnancy (regardless of multiples), including current (regardless of outcome)
Number of births after 20w gestation, twins= 1
Define Nulligravada
Define Primigravida
Define Multigravida
No prior pregnancy
Current first pregnancy
2 or more pregnancies including current
Define Nullipara
Define Primipara
Define Multipara
Define Grand Multipara
No births after 20wks
One birth after 20wks
+2 births after 20wks
Five+ births after 20wks
What’s the acronym for describing OB Hx
GTPAL Gravida- total number of pregnancy Term: 37-40+ wks Preterm: 20-36wks Abortions: before 20wks Living
How is Gestational Age calculated
Pregnancy trimesters are divided into equal ?
1st day LMP to birth
280 days, 40wks
Epochs: each 14wks
1: conception-14wks
2: 15-28wks
3: 29-42wks
When is a new OB appointment needed**
How long after are appointments needed?
10-12wks gestation
Every 4wks until 28wks
28-36wks: q2wks
+36wks: weekly

What screening is done at the 24-28wk appointment?
What screenings are done at the 29-41 wk appointments?
Ab screening
HepB HIV GBS culture Gonococcal/Chlamydia Syphilis
Clinical pelvimetry is not reliable to predict ? in labor
How is the obstetric conjugate measured
Cephalopelvic disproportion
Anteroposterior/Diagonal conjugate - 1.5-2cm= +10cm
Pelvimetry measures pelvic capacity w/ ? three measurements
What are the two pelvic shapes preferred for vaginal delivery
Diagonal conjugate
Interspinous diameter mid-pelvis
Intertuberous distance of pelvic outlet
Gynecoid*, Anthropoid
Where is the midpelvis measured at and what are they called during labor
The ? diameter is important when discussing obstructed/arrested labor
Ishial spine
Midpelvis + ischial= 0 station
Interspinous: 10cm
What is the name of the desired baby position during birth
Where is the sacrospinous ligament located
Occiput anterior
3 fingers between ischial spine and midline sacrum
The pelvic outlet is important if ? has occurred
What is the name of the device used figuring EDD and Gestational Age
Arrested labor
Naegles Rule:
1st day LMP - 3mon + 7 days
Early US is used in lieu of Naegles Rule if ?
What is the most accurate biometric predictor of gestational age
Uncertain LMP
Irregular periods
OCPs
Crown Rump length, greatest accuracy during 1st trimester
What adjustments are made if US and LMP don’t match up
Define Double Decidual Sign
What are the TORCH microbes
Correspond w/ US if:
<9wks GA: >5 day difference
9-<14wks GA: >1wk difference
D Parietalis outer layer
D Capsularis inner layer
Toxoplasmosis Other Rubella CMV HSV
When are HIV screening conducted during pregnancy
How is this RNA Retrovirus managed
New OB appointments
Repeat 3rd Tri if high risk
Load <1000- vaginal delivery
