Presumptive evidence of Pregnancy
- Morning sickness
- Fatigue
- Frequency in urination
- Quickening
- Cessation of menses
- Beading cervical mucus
- Chadwick’s sign
- Changes in breast
- Skin changes
- Increased temperature
Morning sickness
6-18 weeks
peak of HCG is 8-10 weeks plateus at 16 weeks
Quickening
16-20 weeks
- primigravid 18-20 weeks
- Multigravid 16-18 weeks
Beading cervical mucus
6 weeks
poor crystallization or beading is due to PROGESTERONE
Ferning
sign of increased estrogen, makes pregnancy unlikely
also observed as a result of amniotic fluid leakage
Chadwick’s sign
6 weeks
Vaginal mucosa becomes dark-bluis red and congested
Chloasma/Melasma
Mask of pregnancy due to MSH
Spider telangiectasia
increased estrogen
Increased temperature
6 weeks due to increased PROGESTERONE
PROBABLE evidence of Pregnancy
- Enlargement of abomen
- Hegar’s sign
- Goodell’s sign
- Braxton Hick’s contractions
- Physical outlining of fetus
- ballottement
- Detection of B-HCG
Hegar’s sign
6-8 weeks
softening of the uterine isthmus
Goodell’s sign
softening of the cervix
POSITIVE SIGNS of pregnancy
- FHT
- perception of fetal movement by examiner
- Sonographic recognition
Fetal heart tone
Normal: 120-160
Auscultaion: 16 weeks
Doppler: 10 weeks
TV-UTZ: 5 weeks
75 g OGTT
24-28 weeks
Human placental lactogen is produced during this time
has growth hormone like action and causes insulin resitance, lipolysis, and increased fatty acids

- Nondependendent edema
Estimated date of Confinement
Naegele’s rule
EDC= LNMP + 7 days - 3 months
fundal height
cm
top of the pubis syphysis to the top of the fundus
b/w 20-34 weeks, fundus correlates closely with AOG
Fundal height
12 weeks - uterus becomes an abdominal organ
16 weeks - fundus is midway b/w the pubis symphisys and the umbilicus
20 weeks- level of the umbilicus
Frequency of Prenatal check-up
<28 weeks (monthly)
28-36 weeks ( every 2 weeks)
>36 weeks (every week)
Recommended weight gain
