Q

A

-days 4-5 (100 cells) in uterus
-nourished by uterie secretions
-day 8-10 implant into endometrium

Q

implantation

A

as the endometrium erodeds, the blastocyst burrows into lining and surrounds itself by pool of leaked blood
then enomertial cells cover and seal off implanted blastocyst
if implantation fails, the uterus becomes non-receptive again
-about 2/3 of all zygotes formed fail to implant by end of first week or spontaneously abort

34
Q

baby size when born

not always with in this peramiter

A

18-20 in, 7-9 pounds (small pumpkin)

35
Q

1st trimester

what happens to the mother

A
  • tender/swollen breasts
  • nausea vomiting
  • polyuria, fatigue
  • heartburn, constipation
  • mood swings
36
Q

2nd trimester

what happens to the mother

A
  • less nausea/fatigue
  • some increase anxiety
  • thicker hair/fingernails
  • food craving/acersions
37
Q

3rd Trimester

what happens to the mother

A
  • fatigue & uncomfortable
  • Annoyance
  • Back Pain
  • Difficult sleeping
  • Difficulty Breathing
  • False contractions
38
Q

teratogen

A

factors that may cause sever congenital abnormalities or even fetal death if cross placental barriers and enter fetal blood

microorganisms
-rubella, HIV, Listeria

39
Q

fetal alcohol syndrome

A

typified by microcephaly (small head), intellectual disability, and abnormal growth

40
Q

Nicotine

A

hinders oxygen delivery to the fetus, imparing normal growth and development

41
Q

Preeclampsia

A

dangerous complication of pregnancy that can result in hypertension, edema, & proteinuria (HAP)

42
Q

Eclampsia

A

can be caused by preeclampsia
-generalized seizures that can be fatal
-only cure is delivery of baby

43
Q

Parturition

A

culmination of pregnancy; giving birth to baby

44
Q

Labor

A

series of events that expel infant from uterus

45
Q

what does incresed placental cortisol do?

A

triggers maturation of fetal lung, increasing production of surfactant

46
Q

Effects of Cortisol

A

leads to rapid increase in estrogen production by placenta
1. prepares cervix for dilation: thinning and softening (effacement)
2. prepares myometrium of uterus for contraction: leads to Braxton Hicks contractions in uterus (false labor)
3. Leads to myometrial contractions: Oxytocin (force of contraction) and prostaglandins (rhythm)

47
Q

Initation of Labor

A
  • positive feedback mechanism occurs
  • child causes greater distension of cervix
  • more oxytocin/prosaglandin release
  • greater contractile force
48
Q

Dilation stage

1st of the three stages of labor

A
  • from labor’s onset to fully dilated cervix
  • longest stage of labor 6-12 hours or more
  • initial weak contractions
    -15-30 minutes apart, 10-30 seconds long
    -become more vigorous and rapid
  • cervix effaces and dilates fully to 10 cm
  • engagement occurs: head enters true pelvis
49
Q

Expulsion Stage

2nd of the three stages of labor

A
  • from full dilation to delivery of infant
  • strong contraction every 2-3 minutes, each about 1 minute long
  • urge to push increaes (in absence of local anesthesia)
  • crowning occurs when largest dimension of head distends vulva
    -Episiotomy, incision made to widen vaginal orifice, may be done to reduce tearing
50
Q

Placental Stage

3rd of the three stages of labor

A
  • delivery of afterbirth (placenta and membranes) occurs within 30 minutes after birth
  • all placenta fragments must be removed to prevent postpartum bleeding
51
Q

Expulsion Cont.

define vertex position and breech position

A
  • once head has been delivered, rest of the body is delivered more easily
  • vertex position: usual, head-first presentation
    -skull dialtes cervix
  • Breech Position: buttock-first
    -Delivery is more difficult; often forceps or C-section (delivery through abdoninal and uterine wall incision) is required
52
Q

Dystocia

A

if a woman had a deformed or narrow male-like pelvis, labor can be prolonged and difficult
can possibly result in maternal fatigue and/or fetal brain damage (ex: cerebral palsy or epilepsy)
treatment; cesarean (c) section is preformed

53
Q

Neonatal period

A

4 week period immediately aftr birth

54
Q

Apgar Score

a physcial assesment within 1-5 minutes after birth

A

0-2 points for each
* activity: muscle tone
* pulse: heart rate
* Grimace: reflexes
* Appearance: color
* Respiration
Score 8-10 means heealthy baby

55
Q

Milk is produced by…

A

mammary glands

56
Q

Colostrum

A
  • an initial fluid - very little produced/needed
  • yellow fluid with more protein, Vit. A, minerals, IgA antibodies
  • low in fat (“Liquid Gold”)
  • 2-3 days later, true milk production begins
57
Q

Breast Milk Advantages

A
  • Fats and iron are better absorbed
  • amino acids are more easily metabolized
  • has a host of benificial chemicals, including; IgA, complement, lysozyme, interferon (protect infant from pathogens)
  • encouraged bacterial coloization of infant’s gut
  • has natural laxitive effect that helps cleanse infant’s bowels of meconium (baby’s first poop), a tarry green-black paste
  • can help with mother’s weight loss
