Q

It is also known as fundal height; determining AOG in months by measuring from the fundus to the symphysis pubis in centimeters then divide by 4 The distance from the uterine fundus to the symphysis pubis in centimeters is equal to the week of gestation between the 20th and 31st weeks of pregnancy. The measurement is made from the notch of the symphysis pubis to over the top of the uterine fundus as the woman lies supine?

28
This calculate the date of birth by this rule, count backward 3 calendar months from the first day of the last menstrual period and add 7 days. Example: May 15 (count back 3 months, April 15, March 15, February 15) and add 7 days = February 22?
NAGELE'S RULE
29
Normal fetal heart sound?
120-160 per minute
30
a non-invasive technique that involves feeling a pregnant person's abdomen to assess the position of the fetus. It's a common procedure performed by a doctor or midwife late in the third trimester. The maneuver is named after Christian Gerhard Leopold, a German obstetrician and gynecologist?
Leopold's maneuver
31
What are the 4 steps of Leopold's maneuver?
1. FUNDAL GRIP 2. UMBILICAL GRIP 3. PAWLIK'S GRIP 4. PELVIC GRIP
32
This step determines the fundal height?
FUNDAL GRIP
32
This step locates the fetal back?
UMBILICAL GRIP
32
This step identifies presenting part?
PAWLIK'S GRIP
32
This step locates the fetal head?
PELVIC GRIP
33
The Leopold maneuver provides important information about the fetus, these are:
Position, size, and engagement
34
Fetal movement can be felt by the mother (Quickening) at ?
18-20 weeks
35
What are the 6 parameters?
Fetal breathing movements Fetal movement Fetal tone Amniotic fluid volume Fetal heart reactivity Placental grade
35
a prenatal test that combines an ultrasound and a nonstress test to check the health of the fetus. It's usually performed in the third trimester of pregnancy and is painless and noninvasive;10 is a perfect score, if four parameters are used, 8 is a perfect score. A score of 4-6 denotes a fetus in jeopardy; The results are scored using a system called Manning's score, where each area is scored as either 0 (abnormal) or 2 (normal). A total score of 8 or 10 is normal, while 6 is borderline, and 4 or less is abnormal ?
biophysical profile
35
Psychological Task of Pregnancy:- Accepting the Pregnancy?

10 times
36
Psychological Task of Pregnancy: Accepting the baby?
Second trimester
36
Psychological Task of Pregnancy: Preparing for the baby and end of pregnancy?
THIRD TRIMESTER
37
Physiologic Changes of Pregnancy are?
1.Integumentary System -Striae Gravidarum -Diastasis Recti -Linea Nigra -Melasma (Chloasma 2. Respiratory System - Shortness of breath Diaphragm may be displaced by 4cm upward Respiratory rate increased by or 1 or 2/minute - Nasal congestion or stuffiness – as a response to increased estrogen levels 3. Temperature - Slight increase, as the placenta takes over the function of the corpus luteum at about 16 weeks, the temperature generally decreases to normal. 4. Cardiovascular System - Increase in the total cardiac volume - Easy fatigability and shortness of breath - Heart murmurs - Palpitations - Edema and varicosities of the vulva, rectum and legs - Fibrinogen level is increased by 50% - Elevated white blood count - Increase platelet count - Increase blood lipid level - Supine Hypotension Syndrome 5. Gastrointestinal System - Heart Burn - Constipation - Flatulence - Morning Sickness - Hyperptyalism 6. Urinary System - Urinary frequency - Urinary stasis - Urethral and kidney dilation - Increase Glomerular Filtration Rate by 50% 7. Skeletal System - Softening of the pelvic ligaments and joints (hormone relaxin) - Lordosis increasing - Leg cramps 8. Endocrine System The placenta produces large amount of: Estrogen – “hormone of women” Progesterone – “hormone of mothers” Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HcG) – present in maternal blood and urine ( this is the hormone analyzed by pregnancy tests) Human Placental Lactogen or Human Somatomammotropin – serves as antagonist to insulin Relaxin – responsible for helping inhibit uterine activity and soften the cervix and collagen in body joints. Prostaglandin – affect smooth muscle contractility to such an extent they may be the trigger that initiates labor at the pregnancy term
