11-20 pounds
Women who don’t gain sufficient weight during pregnancy @ greatest risk for
Small for GA infants
Women who gain excessive weight have increased risk for
Macrosomic infant
increased risk of childhood obesity and maternal weight retention
Pregnant women should increase kcals by ________ and ______ in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters, respectively
340, 450
Breastfeeding women should eat an additional ______ kcals a day
600
Excessive vitamin A can be _________ and cause birth defects

3
Foods that should be limited or avoided during pregnancy
Some fish, increased caffeine, unwashed fruits and veggies, unpasteurized dairy, undercooked meats
Preterm
infant delivered before 37 weeks
Early term
infant delivered between 37 weeks and 38 6/7 weeks
Full term
infant delivered between 39 weeks and 40 6/7 weeks
Late term
infant delivered between 41 weeks and 41 6/7 weeks
Post term
infant delivered between 42 weeks and beyond
Symptoms of pregnancy
Amenorrhea, increased urinary frequency, breast tenderness, nausea, tiredness, fatigue
Presumptive signs of pregnancy
Chadwick’s sign - darkening of vaginal walls and vulva (bluish discoloration)
Linea nigra - midline abdomen darkening line
Chloasma - darkening over bridge of nose and under eyes (mask of pregnancy)
Positive sign of pregnancy
detection of fetal heart activity
Urine pregnancy test drawbacks
hCG shares an alpha-subunit with LH so there needs to be a high concentration of hCG in urine in order to avoid FP tests
When should pregnancy tests be taken?
Early morning when hCG levels are highest
Serum pregnancy tests benefits
More specific and sensitive than a urine test d/t testing of beta subunit of hCG which is not shared with LH; very early detection
First trimester
- 0-13 6/7 weeks
- Appointments every 4 weeks
- Initial appt. = transvaginal US, hx and risk assessment, EDD, physical, labs, screening
- Screening PAPP-A (decreased is increased risk of Down and Edwards) and B-hCG (increased is increased risk of Down)
- Nuchal transparency (increased thickness may be sign of chromosomal abnormality)
- Cell free fetal DNA test (fetal DNA in maternal blood screened for conditions)
Second trimester
- 14-27 6/7 weeks
- Appt every 4 weeks
- Quad screen at weeks 15-22 (MSAFP, hCG, unconjugated estriol, dimeric inhibin A) or triple (no inhibin A)
- Anatomy US 18-22
- Glucose screening 24-28 (in first if high risk for DM, obesity, previous GDM); if abnormal > glucose tolerance test
GPTPAL
Gravida = pregnancies Para = births T = term P = preterm A = abortus L = living kids
What does quad screen have a higher sensitivity for than triple screen?
Down
What should be done at every appointment during second trimester?
- Measurement of fundal height (pubic symphysis to top of uterus)
- Fetal heart tones
- Urinalysis
- BP
- weight
Fundal height @ 8 weeks
Uterus still under pubic bone
Fundal height @ 12 weeks
Uterus above pubic bone
Fundal height @ 16 weeks
Halfway b/w pubic bone and umbilicus

If fundal height is greater than expected…
Incorrect assessment of gestational age, multiple pregnancies, macrosomia, hydatidiform mole, polyhydramnios
If fundal height is less than expected…
Incorrect assessment of gestational age, hydatidiform mole, fetal growth restriction, oligohydramnios, intrauterine fetal demise
Third trimester

- Appt every 2 weeks from 32-36 weeks then every week
- GBS screening between 35-38
- Repeat Hb and hematocrit
- Tdap b/w 27-36 weeks
Why do we screen for GBS?
NML vaginal flora in some women > can cause health complications in newborn so treated with Abx @ time of delivery
FHR
NML baseline FHR should be 110-160 bpm
Variability
Amplitude from peak to trough (fluctuations in HR)
Accelerations
visually apparent increases (onset to peak in < 30 sec) in FHR from baseline
Decelereations
visually apparent decreases in FHR from baseline; gradual (>30 sec) or abrupt
