A

If the mom is RH- and baby is RH+ she needs rhogam.

usually given around 20-28 wks gestation.

will be given if any trauma happends during preg.

given 72 hours after birth to help with next pregnancy

186
Q

Hormones after delievery

A

estrogen, progestrin, relaxin go down right away

hcg hangs aruond for a while.

oxytocin is responsible for let down reflex, when baby sucks- the milk comes down

187

motility is decreased may take a while to get back ti normal.

may not have a BM for a few days, resist urge to defecate, constipation common. Don’t force down. use stool softeners.

Hungry and thirsty after labor, small portions are best.

A

Kidneys return to normal after 2 -3 months

urinary output 3000 ml/day

make sure they are voiding after delivery and have the urge to go.

overdistention of bladder can cause UTI or hemorrhage, bladder causes uterus to rise, which releases pressure, causing hemorrhage.
