T4-Advanced Organizer Part 1 Flashcards
How does high risk mom do kick count at home?
Count fetal movement 2-3x day for 30 min-1 hr
How does low risk mom do kick count?
Count fetal movement 1-2x day for 30 min-1 hr
How many movements should be felt in each time frame when doing kick counts?
5-6
What is fetal alarm signal?
No fetal movement in 12 hours
What kind of pregos will begin monitoring early for kick counts and when does it start?
Moms will poor glucose control; 28 weeks
What if mom is at hospital, how is she doing kick counts?
She is hooked up to EFM and will push a button every time she feels a kick..The button should match the timing of an acceleration on the monitor
- acceleration= kicks (sign of fetal well being)
- this is done especially if mom is hypoglycemic
What is reactive NST?
Normal FHR baseline with fetal movement (accelerations(
2 15x15 accelerations in 20 min period
If before 32 weeks, then 2 10x10 accelerations in 20 min period
What is nonreactive NST?
Test that does NOT demonstrate at least 2 qualifying accelerations within a 20 min period
What does nonreactive NST require?
BPP
What is vibroacoustic stimulation and when is it used?
Sound and vibration to elicit a fetal response; used during NST to try and elicit a response (baby may be sleeping or something)
What is White’s classification of GDM based on?
Age at diagnosis, duration of illness, and presence of vascular disease
Whites classification: What is gestational?
A1, A2
Whites classifcation: What is pre gestational?
B, C
Whites classification:
What is vascular complications?
D, F, R, T
Whites Classification
What classifications result in good outcome?
A-C
Pre-existing diabetes. First trimester: Insulin production is ____ because increased peripheral use of insulin. This causes ____ blood glucose aka ____.
Insulin production- increased
causes decreased blood glucose (hypoglycemia)
*NV may also reduce glucose–> higher need for insulin
What is an insulin antagonist? What trimester is it secreted in?
Human placental lactogen; 1st
When can fetus create its own insulin?
10 weeks gestation
By the end of the pregnancy, insulin requirements _____
Increase
After the placenta comes out, there is an abrupt drop in ____ and return to prepregnant state. What does this mean?
Drop in hormones; insulin needs IMMEDIATELY decrease
If you are breastfeeding, how are the insulin needs?
Insulin needs go down for breastfeeding mom right after birth and eventually even back out to match prepreg levels
What trimester is likely to have hypoglycemia?
1st
What trimester is likely to have hyperglycemia?
2nd and 3rd–this can turn into ketoacidosis
Less or more insulin needed after delivery?
Less (drop of placental hormones)
T/F: Oral hypoglycemics are DOC during pregnancy
FALSE–rarely used
