Q

2 types of SGA

A

IUGR = maternal systemic disease that causes decreased placental perfusion

low groth potential = congenital abnorlaities, teratogens, cigarettes

Q

How is AFI calculated? Defn of oligiohydraminos and polyhydraminos

A

deepest pocket of amniotic fluid is found in each quadrant and added together to get AFI
AFI < 5 = oligio
AFI > 20 is poly

A

macosomia, oligiohydraminoa, mecomium aspiration, IUFD, dysmaturity syndrome (see next card)

27
Q

What is dysmaturity syndrome?

A

chronic IUGR from uteroplacental insufficiency

28
Q

MCC post term delivery/pregnancy

A

inaccurate dating

29
Q

When embryo undergoes cleavage, when does the chorion seperate and the amnion seperate?

A

chorion seperates day 4

amnion seperates day 8

30
Q
When does cleavage happen to result in 
Di di twins?
Mono-di-
Mono-Mono
Siamese twins?
A

Di di twins day 1-3
Mono-di day 4-8
Mono-Mono day 8-13
Siamese/conjoined twins day 13-15

31
Q

mono vs di zygotic twins

A

mono = 1 sperm and 1 egg –> idential DNA (no predisposing factors)

dizygotic = 2 sperm an 2 ova

32
Q

dizygotic twins have increased prevelance in

A

africans, IVF, clomiphene citrate

33
Q

What are complications of multiple gestations

A

PTL, placental previa, postpartum hemorrhage, preE, cord prolapse, malpresentation, GDM, incompetent cervix

34
Q
Management for.... 
Siamese/conjoined twins 
mono-mono- twins
vertex/vertex twins
vertex, non-vertex twins
non-vertex/non-vertex twins
triplets and above
A
Siamese/conjoined twins  = C/S
mono-mono- twins = C/S
vertex/vertex twins = vaginal
vertex, non-vertex twins = vag or C/S
non-vertex/non-vertex twins = C/S
triplets and above = C/S +/- selective reduction
35
Q

What is TTTS? what kind of twins are at risk for this?

A

unequal bloodflow in shared placenta of mono-di- twins thar results in one small/anemia twin and one large/polycythemic twin

36
Q

What is the management of TTTS

A

serial US q2wks in all mono-di twins –> tx with serial amnioreduction in larger twin

37
Q

What is severe n/v + intolerance of PO diet

A

hyperemesis gravidarum

38
Q

What should you r/o in all pts with hyperemesis gravidarum

A

molar pregnancy (get b-hCG)

39
Q

When does morning sickness typically resolve

A

week 16

40
Q

seizure threshold lowered or inc when pregnant

A

lowered

41
Q

What is the etiology of most seizures in pregnancy

A

inc epileptic medication metabolism, dec pt compliance, dec seizure threshold, hormonal changesz

42
Q

what is the teratogenicty of anti-epileptic drugs

A

folate antagonism –> neural tube defects

epoxide generation –> fetal hydantoin syndrome (IUGR, craniofacial malformations, etc)

43
Q

How is a seizure d/o mananged in pregancy

A

monotherapy with lowest dose of Rx
at 19-20 wks klook for congenital anomales w/ US
folate supplementation
vit K supp at 27 wks

44
Q

What pre-ext maternal heart dz is high risk in preg

A

pulm HTN
Eisenmenger syndrome
severe MS or AS (wait 1 yr after correction to get pregers)
marfan syndrome

45
Q

how is preg managed in pts with high risk heart dz

A

terminate preg = first line
basline EKG + medical stabilization
d/c teratogenic drugsa (ACEi/ARBs, diuretics, coumadin)
at delivery: early epidural, careful fluid monitorins, abx ppx for SBE (bac endocarditis)

46
Q

Peripartum cardiomyopathy management

A

Dx with ECHO ( dilated heart with ECHO 34wks and medical management if < 34 wks

Q

Pts with mild renal Dz are at risk for

A

preEclampsia and IUGR

48
Q

Management of preg women with renal transplant
