75% of healthy pregnant women may complain of ______ on exertion by ___ weeks.

34

The heart is displaced upward and somewhat to the left, and its size increases by about 12%
36
Why is the heart position displaced during pregnancy?
Because of uterine enlargement and diaphragm and elevation
37
Blood pressure [increased/decreases] during pregnancy, reaching the [highest/lowest] at 28 weeks.
decreases, lowest
38
Cardiac output during pregnancy increases by \_\_\_% and depends on maternal positioning.
40%
39
Cardiac output during pregnancy will decrease in supine after the ___ week.
20th week
40
What are the HR changes that occur with pregnancy? (4)
(1) Increased HR throughout pregnancy (+12bmp) (2) Increased HR during low intensity exercise (3) Normal HR during moderate intensity exercise (4) Reduced max HR
41
Mechanical pressure by the weight of the uterus leads to a rise in venous pressure in the LE during pregnancy, which leads to what in the ankles and legs?
pitting edema (patient should wear support stockings)
42
Why does blood volume increase from 40-50% during pregnancy?(3)
(1) Extra blood needed for uterus (2) Extra metabolic needs dur to the fetus (3) Need for increased perfusion to other organs, especially the kidneys
43
What is the average blood loss during delivery with (1) vaginal delivery (2) c-section
(1) vaginal: 500-600 ml (2) c-section: 1000 ml
44
What occurs during supine hypotensive syndrome?
The pregnant uterus compresses the inferior vena cava and descending aorta when the women is supine, preventing blood flow to the heart and leading to hypotension
45
What hormone levels is nausea/vomiting related to?
relative levels of hCG
46
What hormone levels reduce GI motility and also leads to gastric reflux because it relaxes smooth muscle (i.e. intestines or lower esophageal sphincter)?
progesterone
47
Incidence of ___ \_\_\_\_\_\_ disease is somewhat increased during pregnancy.
gall bladder disease
48
Preeclampsia is suspected during pregnancy when there is greater than ___ mg of protein lost in a 24 hr period.
500mg of protein
49
Kidney function increases in _____ during pregnancy, resulting in the need to urinate when trying to sleep.
supine or lateral position
50
The ureters are dilated in pregnancy, increasing urinary stasis. What can this lead to?
Infection
51
Why does urinary frequency occur in (1) early pregnancy (2) late pregnancy?
(1) early pregnancy: hormonal changes (2) late pregnancy: displacement of the uterus
52
Why does pregnancy alter the function of most endocrine glands? (3)

(1) Development of placenta (2) Lactation process (3) Modification of glucose metabolism and the increased need for insulin (4) Connective tissue changes
59
Progesterone relaxes smooth muscle therefore inhibiting ______ contractibility during early pregnancy.
uterine contractibility
60
What other functions does progesterone have during pregnancy? (6)
(1) Increases core temperature (0.5 degrees) (2) Increases sensitivity to CO2 (3) Works with relaxin relaxing muscles, ligaments, and joints (4) Prepares breasts for lactation (5) Promotes fat storage (6) Modifies glucose production/increases need for insulin
61
Relaxin is present throughout pregnancy and has continued increase in levels during nursing, what does it do? (4)
(1) relaxes ligaments in body and cuts collagen production while increasing collagen breakdown (2) inhibits contractions of uterus, playing role in timing of delivery (3) softening and lengthening of cervix
