17
Q

patient education: diet

A

Folic acid: 0.4mg/day
Weight gain:
BMI 30: 11-20 lbs

18
Q

patient education: caffeine and foods to avoid

A

Caffeine: 200-300mg/day
Avoid: Raw meat, Raw fish, Unpasteurized cheese, Deli meat, Fish with high mercury level
Thoroughly wash fruits/veggies
-to avoid Toxoplasmosis, Listeriosis, Brucellosis

19
Q

pt education: etOH and smoking

A
Alcohol: Fetal alcohol syndrome: growth restrictions; facial, skeletal and cardiac abnormalities; CNS dysfunction
Cigarette smoking:
Placental abruption
Placenta previa
PROM, PTD
Low birth weight
20
Q

drug use

A

Cocaine: PROM (prem. rupture of membranes), PTD, abruption, IGUR, neurobehavioral deficits, SIDS
Amphetamines: PROM, PTD, abruption, IGUR, neurobehavioral deficits, SIDS
Opioids: IUGR, PTD, fetal death

21
Q

radiation

A

Excessive radiation
-less than 0.05 Gy (5 rads): no problem, carcinogenesis? (unclear)
-0.05 – 0.50 Gy (5-50 rads): unknown
-First 14 days: “all or nothing”: 1 Gy kills 50% of embryos
-14 days – 20 weeks
Possible malformations, mental retardation or growth restriction more than 0.1-0.2 Gy
-Ultrasound/MRI: no problem

22
Q

other things to avoid

A

Excessive heat (hot tubs/saunas)
Radiation or chemical hazards
Cat litter/feces

23
Q

Rhesus alloimmunization: IF Rh0 (D) negative mother has Rh0 (D) positive fetus

A

Fetal red cells enter the circulation
Rh0 (D) antibodies are formed
These antibodies can cause hemolytic disease for subsequent Rh0 (D) positive fetuses

24
Q

Rh0 (D) immune globulin = concentrate of antibodies against Rh0 (D) antigen

A

Destroy fetal Rh0 (D) positive cells
Mother does not form antibodies
300 mg
Lasts 12 weeks

25
Q

travel

A

Okay to travel up to 32 weeks

Do not travel to endemic areas of yellow fever or malaria

A

MMR
Yellow fever
Small pox
Varicella

28
Q

Should vaccinate:

A

Hep B
Influenza
Tdap

29
Q

OMM

A

-Increasing lumbar lordosis
-Anterior pelvic tilt due to center of gravity shifting anteriorly
-Strained lower back muscles can lead to Unlevel sacral base, Unequal length of the LE
-Interstitial edema increases Carpal tunnel syndrome, Myofascial dysfunction

cardinal movements

A
Engagement/Flexion
Internal rotation
Extension
External rotation (restitution

A

want to be OA, face down
