42
Q

Prenatal

A

period of pregnancy before birth

Q

Presentation

A

refers to the part of the baby that descends into the birth canal first

pressure that is applied downward on the pt’s abdomen just above the pubic bone

Q

Uterus

A

muscular organ that holds the fetus and the placenta during pregancy
