System interactions in pregnancy
- Postural changes
- HR and BP changes
Side lying in pregnancy
LEFT S/L
AVOID Supine hypOtensive Syndrome
Pregnancy complications
Pre-eclampsia vs Eclampsia
Gestational DM
Pregnancy exercises
Posture
Precautions
Changes w/ Pregnancy
Weight GAIN
How much and why?
20-30lbs
ESSENTIAL for baby’s nourishment
Changes w/ pregnancy
MSK System
Talk about posture
Posture changes!
Forward head-> kyphosis-> incd lordosis-> APT—think COM moves forward
Postural stress continues post-partum d/t lifting and carrying of baby
Changes w/ pregnancy
MSK Changes
Posture
How do we TREAT this?
- Posture edu., stretch tight mm’s/strengthen weak mm’s, pelvic stab. ex’s, POST. pelvic tilts
CVS Changes: Pregnancy
ALL first…summarized
- BP LOW in first and second trimesters then INCs last trimester
- Supine lying compresses IVC (after 4th mo.)–> NO supine lying after 1st trimester
- RHR INCs 10-20bpm
- L. S/L== BEST
CVS Changes: Pregnancy
BP
LOW in first/second trimesters
INCs last trimester
CVS Changes: Pregnancy
Supine lying
- compresses IVC
- DEC in CO==> supine hypotensive syndrome
- NO supine after 1st trimester!!!
In gen, CO INCs, but Decs in supine!!
CVS Changes: Pregnancy
RHR
INCs 10-20 bpm
CVS Changes: Pregnancy
LEFT S/L
- BEST!!!
- DECs compression IVC, maximizes CO, DECs GERD bc int. organs relaxed, improves maternal and fetal circ.
System Interactions in Pregnancy
See chart
Practice!
34yo pregnant female doing pelvic floor ex’s in supine. Dizzy, sweating, nausea. Which cond?
Supine HypOtensive syndrome bc supine compresses IVC
A: Incd pressure on IVC causing hypOtensive syndrome
Pre-Eclampsia think….
Acute HTN!!!
*usually BP inc’s 3rd trimester, but this is acute/sudden HTN
Pre-Eclampsia
How is this dx confirmed??
think pregnancy induced HTN
BP reading in excess of 140/90.. THEN
2nd abnorm BP reading 4hrs AFTER first CONFIRMS dx
EMERGENCY!
Pre-Eclampsia
what is it and s/s?
Pregnancy induced HTN after the 20th wk of gestation
- S/S: Inc in PRO in urine, hypERreflexia, edema, HA, sudden wt gain
This pregnancy complication is ALWAYS ACCOMPANIED W/ SEIZURE
Eclampsia
Practice!
Pt seen AFTER UNcomp’d vaginal delivery of 3rd child. During tx, pt begins to complain of HA, vis. disturbs, suddenly develops SZ. MOST likely cond?
A: Eclampsia– AFTER pregnancy, or DURING delivery– ALWAYS assocd w/ SZ
Other answers:
- PREeclampsia== DURING pregnancy– preg induced HTN
- Gestational DM== INC BG during pregnancy, usually returns to NORM (remember FBG >126, Total BG >200)
- Ectopic preg== fert egg implants OUTSIDE uterine cavity
Practice!
PT educating one of their pts regarding effects of pregnancy and implications for positioning and posture. Which is LEAST approp?
INAPPROP== small wedge under L. hip during 2nd trimester– WRONG! you want L. S/L!!! (so put it under R hip)
Other answers (all approp):
- Pt w/ preg induced HTN must NOT do high int ex’s
- breath-holding, valsalve’s should be AVOIDED
- Borgs 12-14 during ex is acceptable for UNcomp’d preg
Pregnancy and Contraindications to Ex.
DO NOT EX when…
- Hemodynamically sig. heart dis/comps
- Restrictive Lung Disease
- INcompetent cervix- EARLY dilation of cervix BEFORE full term
- Vaginal bleeding- esp 2nd/3rd trimesters
- Placenta previa after 26wks gestation- placenta in descended pos and may detach before delivery
- Preeclampsia or preg induced HTN
- Rupture of membranes–lose amniotic fluid
- Premature labor- labor before 37th week of preg
- Maternal T1DM- Diabetic ketoacidosis
- Severe anemia- HbG lvls low
Practice!
20yo female after UNcomp’d delivery has 3cm diastasis recti w/ weak abs. what ex is MOST approp?
Diastasis Recti Guidelines
A: Head lifts w/ arms bracing abdomen
Guidelines:
- >2cm –> abd bracing + exercise
- 3cm–> Abd bracing + Head lift (just lift head); Progression= Abd bracing + Head lift + PPT
- 4cm–> Abd bracing + NO exercises!
- Split < 2cm–> Bracing not important, do head lifts + PPT
