27
para
number of births after 20 weeks gestation (no matter if live birth or still births)
28
nullgravida
woman who has never been pregnant
29
primigravida
woman who is pregnant for the first time
30
multigravida
someone who is pregnant for at least the second time
31
fundus
upper portion of uterus
32
isthmus
lower segment of uterus
33
cervix
lower narrow part, neck of uterus (interfaces with vagina)
34
cervical Os
opening of the cervix that dilates during labor to allow passage of the fetus though the vagina
35
Braxton hicks contractions
intermittent, painless, and psychological uterine contractions
36
Pica
craving for and consumption of nonfood substances such as starch and clay; RESULTS IN ANEMIA
37
ptyalism
increase in saliva
38

33-39
40
Pregnant RBC count
3.8-4.4
41
Pregnant WBC
5.0-12.0
42
Pregnant Platelets
150,000-400,000
43
Pregnant BG Fasting
<= 95
44
Pregnant BG postmeals
<=120
45
ovaries
primary follicles contain oocytes, secrete estrogen, and progesterone
46
fallopian tubes (oviducts)
carry the ovum into the uterus; fertilization occurs within the fallopian tubes
47
What are layers and what is the function of the endometrium?
contains the basal layer and the functional layer; the functional layer is lost during menstrual cycle when implication doesn't occur. Estrogen and progesterone stimulate the functional layer of the endometrium to thick in preparation for implantation
48
Bartholin's Gland
keeps the mucosa moist and lubricates the vagina during intercourse
49
Where does spermatogenesis take place?
seminiferous tubules
50
Where do sperm mature?
epididymis
51
Seminal Vesicles
produce fructose, which is an energy source for sperm; secretions are alkaline, which enhances sperm motility
52
Bulbourethral Gland (Cowper's Gland)
secrete an alkaline solution that coats the interior of the urethra to neutralize the acidic urine that is present
53
Function of the Placenta
- metabolic gas exchange | - hormone production (progesterone, estrogen, hCg, hPL) )
54
progesterone
- stimulates buildup of endometrium functional layer - facilitates implantation and decreases uterine contractility - stimulates prolactin for breast development
55
estrogen
- promotes the maturation of the ovum - stimulates the development of the endometrium - stimulates the enlargement of the breasts and uterus
56
hCG
- stimulates corpus luteum to continue to secrete estrogen and progesterone until the placenta is mature enough to secrete these hormones (until 8-10 weeks of gestation where the placenta takes over this function)
57
hPL
- promotes fetal growth by regulating glucose available to the developing human - stimulates breast development in preparation for lactation
58
What are the 2 embryonic membranes?
- chorion (outermost membrane) | - amnion (inner membrane)
59
Function of the amniotic fluid
- cushion for the fetus when there are sudden maternal movements - prevents adherence of the developing human to the amniotic membranes allows freedom of fetal movement, which aids in symmetrical musculoskeletal development - provides a consistent thermal environment (interesting fact: amniotic fluid is initially produced by the amniotic membrane and then in the second and third trimester it is produced by the fetal kidneys)
60
Umbilical Cord
- consists of two umbilical arteries and one umbilical vein (vein carries oxygenated blood, arteries carry deoxygenated blood) - the vessels are surrounded by wharton's jelly that protects the vessels form compression - average length the cord is 55 cm
61
Foods High in Iron
- red meat - poultry - seafood - beans - dark leafy vegetables - dried fruit - iron- fortified cereals, breads, and pasta
62
Foods High in Folic Acid
- dark, leafy greens - asparagus - broccoli - citrus fruits (papaya and oranges) - strawberries - beans, peas, and lentils - avocado
63
What is supine hypotensive syndrome?
hypotensive d/t woman lying on back in mid to late pregnancy. When supine, the enlarged uterus compresses the INFERIOR VENA CAVA, leading to a drop in cardiac output and BP
64
When do you admin rhogam?
~ if you have a Rh - mom - first dose: 28 weeks - 2nd dose: after delivery (w/n 72 hours)
65
When does a baby's heart beat?
