Which vaccines are contraindicated in pregnancy?
Varicella, MMR
Prepregnancy plans should include?
- Prenatal vitamins (folic acid >400mg)
- healthy lifestyle counseling
- transitional birth control- condoms; let system bounce back from OCP
- vaccinations- get Varicella or MMR at least 3 months before
- referral
also cessation of smoking, alcohol, caffeine
What is associated with increased risk for ectopic pregnancy?
- history of chlamydia
- smoking
- history of PID
- prior ectopic pregnancy
- assisted reproduction- (hetertrophic pregnancy)
what level of HCG should you see tissue in the uterus?
- > 1500 HCG
- by 2000 you should see
Patient comes in with cramping, bleeding and on examination cervix is closed
threatened abortion
patient comes in cramping and bleeding and cervix is dilated
inevitable abortion
Patient comes in with moderate bleeding and cramping- cervix is obscured by dark blood and some tissue from the os
incomplete abortion
possible all tissue would be excreted from the fundus, pt may recall passing tissue
complete abortion
What is naegele’s rule?
- a ways of dating the pregnancy
- 9months and a week
what are ways to date a pregnancy?
- LMP
- Naegele’s rule
- fundal height
- fetal heart tones
- ultrasound
what is the most common reason for an abnormal fetal screen?
The dates are inaccurate, so the expectations
what are first trimester screenings for mom and baby?
- mom: entry panel
- fetal: 1st trimester screen (NT/ PAPP-A, b-hcg)
- these screening cover trisomy
what are second trimester screenings for mom and baby?
- mom: 1-hr glucola(roughly at 24-28 weeks), CBC, antibody screen
- fetal: Triple/Quad screen (AFP, b-hcg , estriol/inhibin A)
- If the first trimester screening was done, only check AFP in 2nd trimester
AFP- indicator for open neural tube defects (spina bifida)
What are third trimester screenings for mom and baby?
- mom: CBC (anemia) , Group B strep
- PRN: depression, STI
- Fetal: NST, BPP (keep an eye on fetal status, if the NST is not reactive—> complete BPP)
What is another screening test that can be perfomed on mom and baby? Considered “advanced”
“Advanced screening test (NIPT, cell-free fetal DNA)
- Maternal serum test
- 10-20 weeks (optimal 11-13)
- T21, 18, 13, and some sex chromosomes aneuploidies (limitations- T21 easier to detect than 13)
- “near-diagnostic” DNA test
- if multiples, can’t tell which twin is affected
If NIPT abnormal–> direct fetal tissue test
