Q

TSH and thyroid hormone in pregnancy?

A
  1. Estrogen in pregnancy increases thyroid binding globulin, increasing TDG-bound T3 and T4. Free T3 and T4 remain normal. Therefore total T3 and T4 are elevated
  2. HCG in pregnancy can mildly stimulate TSH receptor, resulting in a small increase in free T3/T4. Levels are slightly elevated and remain within normal range
  3. TSH remains the same

18
Q

Indications for GBS prophylaxis if status is unknown?

A
  1. Delivery under 37 weeks
  2. Duration of membrane rupture over 18 hours
  3. Any amount of GBS bacteriuria
  4. Prior history GBS sepsis
19
Q

Intrauterine fetal demise may cause? Mechanism? Early sign?

A

DIC; due to release of tissue factor from the placenta into maternal circulation which triggers intrinsic pathway

Low normal fibrinogen (~160)

20
Q

Emergency contraception is offered up to how long after intercourse? Plan B a.k.a.?

Second trimester abortifacient?

A

120 hrs; levonorgestrel

Prostaglandin E2 suppositories

21
Q

NST – when to conduct?

A

Over 32 weeks with decreased fetal movements

22
Q

Contraction stress test?

A

Mother given oxytocin infusion until three contractions every 10 minutes.

Effect of contractions fetal heart activity is recorded. Test is positive and delivery recommended if late decelerations are present

23
Q

Most important risk factor squamous cell carcinoma the vagina?

A

HPV

24
Q

Female offspring of women who ingest DES during pregnancy are at an increased risk for developing?

A
  1. Clear-cell adenocarcinoma of vagina/cervix
  2. Cervical anomalies
  3. Uterine malformations
25
Q

Amniotic fluid embolism Sx?

A

Sudden respiratory failure, seizures, cardiogenic shock, DIC

26
Q

Immediately postpartum, possibly worrisome symptoms that are actually normal?

A

Low-grade fever, leukocytosis, vaginal discharge, chills

27
Q

Patient given epidural for labor – side effect? Mechanism?

A

Hypotension from Venus pooling

28
Q

Ideal range for maternal glucose?

A

75-90

29
Q

Gestational diabetes – Child at increased risk for?

A

Macrosomia, hypoglycemia, hypocalcemia, polycythemia, respiratory difficulties, heart failure

30
Q

Contraception can be used postpartum?

A

Sterilization, barrier methods, IUD, progestin-only

OCP may decrease milk production and pass into milk

31
Q

Patient with cytologic specimens suggesting HSIL – next step? If pregnant?

A

Colposcopy and biopsy

If not pregnant and colposcopy positive - LEEP excision

If pregnant and Biopsy negative, second biopsy six weeks after delivery

32
Q

Preferred way to screen for gestational diabetes? If positive?

A

One hour 50 g glucose tolerance test

Either:

  1. 75 g oral glucose tolerance test
  2. Three hour 100 g oral glucose tolerance test
33
Q

Gestational diabetes is diagnosed if three hour test values are?

A

Fasting glucose > 95
One hour glucose >180
Two hour glucose >155
Three-hour glucose >140

34
Q

hCG doubles until? Alpha versus beta subunits?

A

6-8 weeks

Also similar structure to TSH, LH, FSH

Beta subunits unique to HCG

35
Q

Roles of hCG in pregnancy?

A
  1. Maintenance of corpus luteum
  2. Promotion of male sexual differentiation
  3. Stimulation of maternal thyroid gland
36
Q

Down syndrome markers?

A
Alphabetical order:
AFP low
Beta hCG high
estriol low
Inhibin high
37
Q

When to give RhoGAM? When will Standard dose need to be adjusted?

A

At 28 weeks of first pregnancy and immediately postpartum

Maternal-feel hemorrhage (placental abruption) – will need to increase dose of RhoGAM based on Kleihaur-Betke

38
Q

Why is Rh incompatibility worse than ABO incompatibility?

Why can ABO incompatibility happen in the first pregnancy?

ABO has fewer IgM antibodies that cross placenta, causing only mild disease

A & B antigens are found in food and bacteria in the environment
