Explaining antenatal course
- Dating ultrasound b/w 8-12 weeks (EDD based on FTUS)
- 11-14 weeks: NT test (fluid behind neck - screen for Downs, Turners, cardiac abnorm)
- 18-20wks: anatomy scan
Antenatal genetic screening options
- NIPT (non-invasive prenatal test- pay out of pocket) - maternal blood for circulating fetal DNA 9 weeks onwards - high accuracy & high sensitivity (false positive rate of 0.1%) - results avail in 1-2 weeks BUT not covered mostly, doesn’t screen for NTD, have to confirm with invasive test
- if concern on NIPT, can do CVS 10-12weeks for dx instead of amnio after 15wks
- 11-14 weeks: **NT test **(fluid behind neck - screen for Downs, Turners, cardiac abnorm)
- 11-14 wks: eFTS (early first tri screen)
- IPS
- MSS
Vitamins required in pregnancy
400mcg (0.4mg) folate or 5mg if high risk (DM, epilepsy, anti-folate drugs, malabsorption disorders, hx of NT defects, thal or sickle cell, obseity
iron
calcium 1200mg daily
prenatal will have all of this, choline rich foods
When to administer anti-D AB to RH- women?
sensitizing event (APH, abdominal trauma, amniocentesis) & prophylactically at 28 weeks
*dose depends on Kleihauer-Betke test post event
When can you begin assessing symphseal fundal height (SFH)
20 weeks - should be within 2cm of GA (assessing for IUGR or macrosomia)
- 12 weeks fundus @ pubic symphysis
