16
Q

Ballotable

A

While in utero, baby bounces (like a bobber) when felt through the cervix

17
Q

Engagement

A

The entrance of the largest diameter of the fetal presenting part (usually the fetal head) into the smallest diameter of the maternal pelvis.

18
Q

Lightening

A

When the fetal presenting part begins to descend into the maternal pelvis.

19
Q

Cephalic

A

Fetus presenting head first

20
Q

Breech

A

The baby exits the pelvis feet or butt first as opposed to the normal head first.

21
Q

Station

A

The degree of descent of the presenting part of the fetus through the maternal pelvis, as measured in relation to the ischial spines of the maternal pelvis.

22
Q

Fundal height

A

The distance (in centimeters) measured with a tape measure from the top of the pubic bone to the top of the uterus (funds) with he client lying on her back with her knees slightly flexed.

23
Q

Polyhydramnios

A

Excess amount of amniotic fluid

24
Q

Oliogohydramnios

A

Too little amniotic fluid

25
Q

Presentation

A

Refers to the body part of the fetus that enters the pelvic inlet first. (What body part is coming out first)

26
Q

Ultrasound/sonogram

A

Use of high-frequency sound waves to visualize the fetus. Enables evaluation of structural changes to be identified early.

27
Q

Amniocentesis

A

Amniotic fluid aspirated from the amniotic sac

28
Q

Biophysical Profile (BPP)

A

Uses a real-time ultrasound to allow assessment of various parameters of fetal well-being. Includes: Ultrasound monitoring of fetal movements, fetal tone, fetal breathing, and ultrasound assessment of amniotic fluid volume. May also include assessment of the fetal heart rate.

29
Q

Induction

A

A procedure used to stimulate uterine contractions during pregnancy before labor begins on its own

30
Q

Augmentation

A

Stimulating contractions. If labor isn’t progressing very well, a healthcare practitioner may try to help it along (or “augment” it)

31
Q

NST (non-stress test)

A

Indirect measurement of uteroplacental function. Non-invasive procedure that looks at baby’s heart rate and movement.

A

A diagnostic procedure performed to determine the fetal heart rate response under stress, such as during contractions.
