do
97-99% accurate
check exp date/ read instruction including time to read/ concentrated urine works best-do in morning/read results at exa t time//
//if negative wait one week and try again, if neg again check for amenorrhea/
/do prenatal care asap
Positive signs of pregnancy
Demonstration of fetal heart separate from pregnact parents
Stethoscope can hear in 18-20 weeks
Ecocardiography can hear in 5 weeks
Doppler in 10-12 weeks
Fetal HR= 120-160 bpm
Positive signs of pregnancy
fetal movements
can be felt as early as 16-20 weeks in person
examiner can feel in 20-24 weeks
positive signs of pregnancy
visualization
ultrasound-as early as 4-6 weeks of pregnancy can see charactertic ring and site of impantation/
by 8th week fetal outline can be measured and determine age-clear proof
ultrasound generally at 20 weeks as well-for abnormalities in genetics/working organs
Uterus in pregnancy
increase
blood flow
↑ in size, weight, capacity
↑ in blood flow-15-20 ml/min and ends at 500-750 ml/min—75% going to placenta–needs to be circulatory system for placenta

Uterus in pregnancy
– fetus settles into mid pelvis-
12wk ut is lg enough to be felt in abdomen
/20wk level of umbilicus
36 wk- touches xiphoiod
38 wks settles into pelvis
Hegar sign
Uterus in pregnancy
–walls of uterus feel thin as tissue paper-
extreme softenin of lower uterine segment
Ballottement
rise in
Uterus in pregnancy
-16-20 wks-uterus is tapped sharply and fetus will bounce/\
rise on amniotic fluid agants when the hand placed on abdomen
Braxton Hicks contractions
manifestations
who can see
do not cause
Uterus in pregnancy
-uterine contractions as early as 12th week. Present throughout rest of pregnancy.
Waves of hardness/tightening accros abdomen/”practice contractions”
/examiner or electric monitor can see
not causing cervix change
amenorrhea
why occur
why only presumptive sign
could be
occurs because of suppression of FSH by rising estrogen levels/
/could be result of things like uterine infection, anxiety, athletes or chronic illness so only presumptive sign
could be spotting
Cervix changes in pregnancy
hyperactivity
mucus plug
Hyperactivity of tissue ==mucorrhea
Mucus plug (operculum)-seal out bacteria and help prevent infection in fetus/membranes
Vasculatiry changes in cervix in pregnancy
↑ vascularity-inc in fluid between cells can soften consistency from pale pink to violet hue
Vagina changes in pregnancy
thickening
relaxing
Thickening of mucosa,
relaxation of connective tissue
increase in
causes a decrease/inc in
vaginal changes in pregnancy
↑ in amt & acidity of secretions-
↓ in bacterial infections but ↑ yeast infections
Chadwick’s sign-
vagina changes in pregnancy
color of vaginal wall will turn violet hue
Ovaries
reproductive changes in pregnancy
Ovulation ends
Corpus luteum (shell of discharged ova) produces necessary hormones @ the beginning of pregnancy-after 16 weeks placenta will take over
goodels sign
softening of cervix
Breast changes in pregnancy
may be
colostrum
montogmery
May be one of first changes- may notice @6 weeks a feeling of sublt fullness, tingling, ot tenderness that’s caused by high estrogen levels
Colostrum -3rd trimester-“pre milk”-thin watery high protein fluid can be exctreted
Montogmetry tubercles-elargne to stop cracking of nips
