preggers Flashcards
EDD
expected date of delivery
LMP + 7 days, go back 3 mo add 1 yr
endometrium before and after preggers
before: basal arteries and spiral art shed with each LH change
after: spiral arteries confluent and drop womens SBP by 20%
what IGg crosses placenta?
IgG maternal immunity
hcg
human chorionic gonadotropin maintains corpus luteum
maintains uterine lining and stim. mammary glands
estrogen
stimulates mammary glands, gives fetus energy
placental lactogen
mimics GH, promote maternal insulin resistance and high blood glucose
placental lactogen
softens cervix and weakens pubic symphysis
relaxin
complciations of relaxin
pelvic pain y
double jointedness
3 main vascular changes
decreased tone
decreased SVR by 20%
vena cava compression
2 blood changes
blood volume increase by 50-100%
RBC mass increase 25-40%
anemia relative - dilutional
t/f placenta keeps acth and cortisol levels high
true
release of ACTH triggers
release of POMC
= hyperpigmentation of pregnancy
linea nigra, melisma
CO dramatically…mester
increases during 2nd and 3rd tri 35+%
by
decreases during post partum 6 mo
BV
increases a ton 2 and 3rd tri
by 30+%
HR increases
2nd and 3d tri
by 10-15%
SV
increases in 2nd and 3rd by about 10%
by 8 wks gestation mom cardiac changes underway t/f?
true
changes in maternal pump
cardiac axis displaced cephalad and left
PMI elevated and lateral
Left axis deviation
t//f preggers have increase in dysrhythmias
true
to hypokalemia may be part of this due to increased mineral corticoid activity
during contractions SVR increases by..
10-15%
PVR decreases by
34%
78 in pregnant and 119 in not pregnant
CO increases by
43%
why does SVR increase during labor?
autotransfusions 300-500cc
labor causes SNS overdrive = increase constriction
blood is squeezed back into central circulation during contractions
in general uterus is at the pelvic brim by__wks
12
uterus is to the umbilicus at
20wks
renin is stimulated by __ and __
progesterone and placenta
increased renin means what 3 things
increased sodium absorption, potassium excretion and water retention (6-8L)
leads in increase in blood volume
