Choroid plexus cyst
Associated with T18 but usually incidental
Gastroschisis
Right of midline, not assoc with genetic abnormalities
Omphalocele
Midline, associated with genetic abnormalities
Myelomeningocele
Check genetics after birth, Though usually are isolated
First Trimester screening
One: HCG
Two: PAPP-A
Three: nuchal translucency
Nuchal translucency
Measured between weeks 11 and 14, should be less than 3 mm
dandy walker
characterized by hypoplasia of the cerebellar vermis and a retrocerebellar cyst
Hydros
Classic: skin edema and abdominal ascites. Hydrops fetalis is defined as a fluid collection in two or more fetal cavities. Characteristic findings include: ascites, pericardial effusion, pleural effusion, skin edema, and polyhydramnios
Relative infant dose of opioids
Lipophilic nature of the drug
Degree to which the drug binds to protein
pKa and milk pH
Drug’s molecular weight
Amount of breast milk consumed
Timing of medication administration relative to breastfeeding episodes
Incidence of shoulder dystocia
1.4%. With diabetes is 9.4 to 24%. If diabetes and greater than 4500 g, approaches 50% risk.
Markers for Down syndrome
Soft markers for Down syndrome on ultrasonography include echogenic cardiac foci, echogenic bowel, a short humerus and/or femur, and absent nasal bone.
Maternal hypothyroidism
IUFD, IUGR, spontaneous abortion, and medically indicated preterm delivery
Cholestasis of pregnancy
eficiency of long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (LCHAD)
Dexamethasone in HELLP syndrome
Raise platelets for regional anesthesia
Neural tube defect
Increased risk in Latina women, decreased risk in African American women
Increased with diabetes and obesity
Increased with Valproic Acid
Carbamazepine
Methotrexate
In the first 28 days: fever, amniotic bands, Sauna/hot tub
Maternal graves disease
Low birth weight, medically indicated preterm delivery, fetal hypothyroidism, fetal hyperthyroidism
Most common cause of first trimester maternal death
Ectopic pregnancy
Placenta accreta
Increased lacunae, irregularly shaped Lacunae, Placenta previa, increased vascularity to bladder
Low molecular weight heparin in pregnancy versus unfractionated heparin
Low-molecular weight heparin has a longer half-life, a more predictable therapeutic response, less bone mineral density loss, and a lower risk of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia.
Benefit of unfractionated: does not cross the placenta
300 µg of RhoGAM
which covers 30 mL of fetal blood or 15 mL of fetal red blood cells after a fetomaternal hemorrhage.
Group Prenatal care
Decreased rate of preterm birth in African-American women
Bromocriptine
Suppresses milk production
Clozapine
Life-threatening agranulocytosis in infants
ACE inhibitor
Not safe in pregnancy, fine in
breast-feeding
