newborns exposed to cocaine exihbit
neuro behavior distrubances, marked irritability, exaggerated startle reflex, SIDS
Marijuana affects on baby

Heroin affects on baby
restlessness, high pitched cry, irritibilaty, behavior can last for 3 months or more
Methadone is used for
therapy for pregnant women on opiods(Heroin)
it does cross placenta but effects to fetus are not as harsh Given for women to not experience withdrawals during pregnancy and help to recover mom from addiction Often causes abnormal fetal presentation
Cold Turkey is considered

poluria
polydipsia
polyphagia
frequent urine

excessive hunger
There are 2 basic classifications in diabetes in pregnancy
gestational diabetes (pregnancy related) pre existing diabetes
normal maternal plasma glucose between
60-120 mg/dl
Diabetes Pregnancy
Maternal glucose crosses the placenta but mom’s insulin does not
what produces insulin
Islets of Langerhan
Pathiophysiology of diabetes
*Insufficient amount of insulin Glucose cannot enter cell=energy depleted
*cellular starvation and uses fats and proteins for energy
*ketogenesis= metabolizationi of fat
*glyconegenesis= breakdown of amino acids(protein)
*break down of amino acids=protein & ketones in urine
*high blood glucose concentration pulls H20 from cell to bloodstream and causes cellular dehydration
(thirsty, voiding more) eventually this will spill into urine
Risk Factors for diabetes
Obesity BMI>25 Older than 25 previous birth with GDM diabetes in close relative high risk ethnic group abnormal glucose tolerance level h/o
When do they perform screenings
24-28 weeks GTT(glucose challenge test)
Procedure for the 1st screening
ingest 50 g glucose(orange soda) draw blood 1 hr later >140 mg/dl 3hr GTT
3 hr GTT procedure
ingest 150 g CHO 3 days before
NPO night before test fasting blood test
give 100 g glucose 1 hr testing >180 mg/dl
2 >155 mg/dl
3 >140 mg/dl
what is another test done for checking for diabetes
Hb A1C can indicate 4-8 wks prior levels
8.6 % poor control
Effects of Diabetes/ Increased risk for
Spontaneous abortion polyhydramnios preterm labor big baby PIH infection ketoacidosis c section
Risks for baby
Macrosomia (big baby)
delayed lung maturity( insulin inhibits surfactant in lungs)
polycythemia (excess of RBC)
