A

AFI < 5

18
Q

Oligohydramnios may present how? What fetal anomalies are often present?

A

IUGR or fetal distress
= Renal/MSK anomalies, pulmonary hypoplasia and often fetal mortality

19
Q

What women are at risk for Rh Isoimmunization?

A

Rh (-) women.. like me with A negative blood

20
Q

How does Rh Isoimmunization occur?

A
  • Fetal RBCs leak into maternal circulation
  • Maternal Anti-Rh IgG antibodies form
  • Antibodies cross the placenta
  • Hemolysis of Fetal RBCs = Hydrops Fetalis
21
Q

When is RhoGAM given to Rh (-) mothers?

A

28 weeks and within 72 hours of delivery
– Also with any ectopics/abortions/mixing of fetal and maternal blood

22
Q

If the mother is sensitized with Rh Isoimmunization, what tests need to be done often? Treatment options?

A

Serial US and Amniocentesis to assess fetal anemia
= Preterm delivery or fetal intrauterine blood transfusions
