OB review session Flashcards
hx of chlaymdia, smoking, hx of PID, prior ectopic pregnancy, assisted reproduction, age, surgery,inflammation
these are associated with increased risk for ectopics
- cramping bleeding
- closed cervix (no tissue coming out)
- hcG could be normal; recheck in 48hrs to see if pregnancy will be normal or not
threatened SAB
- cramping, bleeding
- open cervix but nothing coming out of it
- after rechecking hCG, it either doesnt increase like its supposed to or it decreases
inevitable SAB
it wont be full term;matter of WHEN
- sx
- open cervix and things starting to come out
- US might still show some tissue in uterus
incomplete SAB
- had sx
- passed tissue so os might be closed now
- US shows empty uterus
complete SAB
immunizations that are contraindicated in pregnancy
MMR
varicella
what is the most common reason for an abnormal fetal screen
incorrect gestational age
bHCG pattern
doubles every 48 hrs until 12 wks when it starts to fall
1st trimester fetal screen (2)
NT/PAPP-A
b-hCG
2nd trimester mom(3) and fetal(4) screening
- Mom: 1-hr glucola, CBC, antibody screen
- Fetus: triple/quad screen (AFP, b-HCG, estriol/inhibin-A)
recommended folic acid dose
400
which trimester is AFP checked
if the 1st trimester screenings were done, then only do it in 2nd trimester
intrauterine pregnancy should be seen on transvaginal vs transabdominal US with this level of hCG (discriminatory value)
transvaginal: 1500-2000
transabdominal: 2500
3rd trimester prenatal screenings (mom, PRN, fetal- 2 each)
- Mom: CBC, GBS
- Fetal: NST, BPP
- PRN: depression, STI
“Advanced” screening test (NIPT, cell-free fetal DNA)
maternal serum test
10-20 wks (optimal 11-13)
T21,18,13 and some sex chromosome aneuploidies
“Near-diagnostic” DNA test
3 ways to manage miscarriage
- expectant management
- meds– misopristol
- surgery– evacuation or actual surgery
what is naegeles rule & when is it used
used in dating pregnancies when pt is either irregular or cant remember LMP
9 months + 1 wk
date the pregnancy if fundal height is just above pelvis
12 wks
if you can hear FHT, how far along is pregnancy most likely?
at least 10-12 wks
how far does a pregnancy need to be to be detected on US?
6-7 wks
when can you do **fetal **diagnostic testing for chorionic villi sampling vs amniocentesis
- chorionic villi: 10-15 wks (1st trimester)
- amniocentesis: 15-20 wks (2nd trimester); used to evaluate high AFP
2 **maternal **diagnostic testing
GTT
3hr GTT
recommended weight gain for entire pregnancy (normal vs low vs high BMI)
Normal: 25-30 lbs
if underweight: 30+ lbs
if overweight: lower end of range but not recommending weight loss
if fundal height is at level of umbilicus, how many wks gestational age in typical singleton pregnancy?
20 wks
at ____ weeks, hCG levels starts to taper down
10-12 wks
3 things related to fetus to monitor prenatally
fundal height
fundal HR
fetal movement (quickening)
in general, the first tremester fetal screenings are looking for ____
trisomies!!!
the quad screen in second trimester is looking for
genetic things like trisomies + neural tube defects
test that looks at fetal HR in response fetal activity
non-stress test (NST)
test that looks at fetal HR in response to uterine contraction
contraction stress test (CST)
biophysical profile in 3rd trim. fetal monitoring involves using both NST & US to look at ____ (4 things)
fetal breathing
movement
tone
AFI
