Q

what is normal weight gain in prego?

A

Overall weight gain 25-35 lbs (for single gestation)

20
Q

weight gain for BMI <20?

A

should gain more, 35-45 lbs

21
Q

weight gain for BMI > 35?

A

15 lbs

22
Q

what is the typical weight gain?

A

10 lbs in first 20 wks, 1 lb/wk thereafter

23
Q

what are foods to avoid in early prego?

A

1) Coliform bacteria, toxoplasmosis, salmonella → Poorly cooked meat, raw eggs, cold cuts/hot dogs
2) Listeriosis → Soft, mold-ripened cheeses [brie, camembert, goat cheese], unpasteurized cheese/milk
3) Mercury → Sushi, king mackerel, tilefish, swordfish, shark
4) Restrict caffeine [< 200 mg/d or one 12 oz coffee]

24
Q

what are prego side effects that prego ppl should be advised on?

A

N/V, Constipation, Heartburn, Hemorrhoids, Varicose Veins, Leg cramps (relative hypokalemia), Backache, HA, Acne

25
Q

important labs changes to know during prego

A

1) Cholesterol will INCREASE and this is normal if elevated just repeat at the 6 week postpartum visit.
2) BUN and Creatinine will be DECREASED

26
Q

when is gestational dm screened for?

A

24-28 wks

27
Q

when do you repeat antibiody titers?

A

In unsensitized Rh negative mothers followed by RhoGAM @ 28 wks & within 72 hrs after childbirth

28
Q

when is GBS screened for?

A

32-37 wks (via vaginal-rectal cx)

29
Q

H/H screened?

A

35 wks

30
Q

biophysical profile of baby?

A

fetal breathing, fetal tones, amniotic fluid levels, NST & gross fetal movements → 2pts per criteria

31
Q

Non-stress testing?

A

reactive vs nonreactive; HR of a fetus that is neurologically intact will have a fetal heart rate accelerations with fetal movement

32
Q

reactive nst?

A

> 2 Accelerations in 20 mins
↑Fetal HR > 15 bpm from baseline lasting > 15 secs

prognosis: fetal well being
managment: repeat wk or biweekly

33
Q

non-reactive NST?

A

No fetal HR accelerations or <15 bmp lasting <15 secs

prognosis: Sleeping, immature or compromised fetus
management: Vibratory stimulation, May try contraction stress

34
Q

what is vibroacoustic stimulation?

A

useful for decreasing the number of nonreactive NSTs related to quiet fetal sleep cycles

35
Q

how is the vibroacoustic stimulation test preformed?

A

placeing an auditory source, such as an artifical larynx, on the partnal abdomen and delivering a short burst of sound to the fetus
-helps to stimulate the fetus to move and thus shortens the duration of time needed to produce an accelerations

36
Q

what are sx of prego?

A

amenorrhea, N/V, breast tenderness, quickening (fetal movement), easy fatigability, urinary frequency, nocturia, infection

37
Q

when can nullipara women detect quickening?

A

18-20wks

38
Q

when can multipara women detect quickening?

A

14-16 wks

39
Q

how can preg be dx based on b-hcg?

A

-Serum β-hCG → Serum quantitative can detect pregnancy as early as 5 days after conception
-Urine β-hCG → Can detect pregnancy 14 days after conception
↑Serum progesterone

40
Q

what are physical exam findings during uncomplicated prego?

A

Uterus changes, cervix changes, increased basal body temp, skin changes (melasma/cholasma, linea nigra)
palpation of fetus

41
Q

when can US detect fetus?

A

5-6 wks

42
Q

what are specific uterus changes?

A

1) Ladin’s Sign → Uterus softening after 6 weeks
2) Hegar’s Sign → Uterine isthmus softening after 6-8 weeks gestation
3) Piskacek’s Sign → Palpable lateral bulge or softening of uterus cornus 7-8 weeks gestation

43
Q

fundal height measurement: where should the FH be at 12 wks?

A

above the pubic symphysis

44
Q

fundal height at 16 wks?

A

midway btw the pubis and umbilicus

45
Q

fundal height at 20 wks?

A

at the umbilicus

46
Q
