During pregnancy fertilization
Fertilization – the union of a sperm and egg
o Under normal and healthy circumstances, a full-term pregnancy last approximately 9 solar months, 10 lunar months, or 40 weeks
o An accurate estimated date of delivery is determined by using Nagele’s rule – done by adding 7 days to the last date of the normal menstrual period and subtracting 3 months
o A usual pregnancy consists of 9 months, divided into three equal periods called trimesters
115
Fertilization
o When a sperm penetrates an egg in the ampulla of the fallopian tube, the beginning of a human being (called a zygote) results
o Additional division of zygotic cells results in more differentiated structures that eventually produce an embryo and subsequently a fetus
o Infertility – failure of the couple to become pregnant despite usual sexual activity over 1 year’s time
116
Implantation
o Transplantation of the fertilized egg in the uterine cavity after its trip through the fallopian tube requires approximately 6 days
o Once the zygote reaches the uterus, it stays there for up to 5 days, receiving nutrition from the endometrium, the inner lining of the uterus
o The process of fertilization and implantation triggers the production of large amounts of the hormone progesterone, which stimulates the formation of endometrial cells known as decidua
o The decidua provides nutrition for the embryo, a term that defines the growing conceptus up to 8 weeks of age
117
Maternal changes
o Various physiological effects based on a combination of hormonal and mechanical changes during pregnancy
o Hormonal influences tend to increase as the pregnancy progresses
o The mechanical (hemodynamic) changes reach a peak in the seventh or eighth month and then gradually decline as the pregnancy nears completion
118
Signs of pregnancy
o A woman may assume that she is pregnant because she has skipped her menstrual period or experiences nausea and vomiting, changes in breast sensations and size, or increased urinary frequency (presumptive signs of pregnancy)
o The woman should undergo a pregnancy test
o If performed too early, a home pregnancy test may produce a false negative result attributing to a low level of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)
o This hormone is produced by the placenta and is found in pregnant woman’s urine and blood, triggers a positive pregnancy result
o 97% accurate
o Presumptive signs of pregnancy – which are subjectively experienced
o Probable signs of pregnancy – which are objectively observed by the health care provider
o Positive signs of pregnancy – which are positive signs that verify that a pregnancy exists
o During the first trimester of pregnancy, using sophisticated testing with ultrasound, health care providers can determine fetal presence and placental adequacy early in pregnancy
o Ultrasound allows visualization of the fetus and gestational structures throughout pregnancy
119
Pregnancy: Urinary system
o A 50% increase in glomerular filtration rate related to influences of estrogen and progesterone
o Ureters increase in diameter by 25% secondary to progesterone influence
o Urinary output increases about 80% related to the total body water increase
o Bladder capacity increases to about 1500mL to accommodate extra fluids
120
Pregnancy: Cardio system
o Begins early in pregnancy
o Cardiac output increases up to 45% (anemia)
o Heart rate increases by 10 beats/minute to compensate for the increase in blood volume
121
Pregnancy: respiratory
o Tidal volume (volume of air inspired air) increases by 30% to 40% to increase the effectiveness of air exchange
o Total oxygen consumption increases about 20%
o Diaphragm is displaced upward secondary to the enlarging uterus and causes shortness of breath during the last trimester
122
Pregnancy: MSK
o Increased elasticity and softening of connective tissue
o Joints relax, especially the pelvic joints that support pregnancy and create pliability at the time of birth
o Lumbar and dorsal curves of the spine increase late in pregnancy and contribute to low back pain and the waddle of pregnancy
o Separation of the symphysis pubic occurs secondary to influence of relaxin hormone
123
Pregnancy: Integumentary
o Hormones and stretching of connective tissue of the abdomen attributable to an enlarging uterus lead to stretch marks (striae gravidarum)
o A narrow, brownish line (linea nigra) divides the abdomen, running from the umbilicus to the symphisis pubis – fades after pregnancy ends
o Increase in pigmentation caused by melanocyte-stimulating hormone causes darkened areas on the face termed the mask of pregnancy (chloasma)
124
Pregnancy: GI
o Enlarging and space occupying uterus cramps the intestinal region, causing a slowing of both peristalsis and emptying time of the stomach
o Relaxin causes a decrease in gastric motility leading to constipation
o Frequent heart burn results from reflux of stomach contents into the esophagus secondary to upward displacement of the stomach and relaxed gastro-esophageal sphincter
125
Pregnancy: reproductive
o Changes in uterus, breasts, vagina, vulva, and ovaries
o Pre-pregnant uterus is approximately the size of a closed fist
o Uterus at term has the capacity to contain a 7-10 lb. infant and the placenta
o As the uterus enlarges, the fundus (the upper uterine segment) moves higher in the abdomen
o Breasts enlarge early in the pregnancy
o Vagina and vulva receive more blood supply (may appear darker)
o Some may notice an increase in vaginal secretions and experience a whitish discharge
o Hormones such as hCG and estrogen, secreted by the placenta and the fetus creat an optimal intrauterine environment for the fetus and stimulate many changes in the pregnant woman’s body
126
Nursing role throughout pregnancy
o Caregiver
o Advocate
o Support person
o Teacher
o Nursing interventions should address recommended profession practice guidelines for education during the prenatal period to prevent complications for the family
o Teaches the woman about changes to expect in the body during pregnancy
127
1st trimester (Week 1 -12)
o Extreme tiredness
o Tender, swollen breasts (nipples might also stick out)

o Stretch marks on abdomen, breasts, thighs, or buttocks
o Darkening of skin around nipples
o A line on the skin running from belly button to public hairline
o Patches of darker skin, usually over cheeks, forehead, nose, or upper lip (mask of pregnancy)
o Numb or tingling hands (carpal tunnel)
o Itching on abdomen, palms, and soles of feet
o Swelling of ankles, fingers, and face
129
3rd Trimester (Week 29-Week 40):
o Shortness of breath
o Heart burn
o Swelling of ankles, fingers, and face
o Hemorroids
o Tender breasts which may leak a watery pre-milk called colostrum
o Belly button might stick out
o Baby “drops” or moves lower in your abdomen
o Contractions (can be a sign of real or false labor)
o Near due date = cervix becomes thinner and softer which helps birth canal (vagina) open during birthing process
130
Labor and Birth stages
- dilation
- pushing
- placental
- recovery
131
Dilation Stage
– lasts from the onset of true labor contractions to complete dilation of the cervix. It is divided into 3 phases; latent (0-3 cm dilation); active (4-7cm dilation); and transition (8-10cm dilation)
132
Pushing Stage
– lasts from complete dilation (10 cm) of the cervix to birth
133
Placental Stage
– lasts from the time of birth of the new born to delivery of the placenta and membranes, which can range from 2-15 minutes
134
Recovery Stage
– defined as the first 4 hours after childbirth where physiological and psychological adjustments begin to occur
135
Emotional changes
o Physical and psychological processes remain closely intertwined as pregnancy progresses
o Psychological stresses and normal emotional growth affect the physical status of pregnancy, interactions of family members, and the eventual relationship between mother and infant
o Nurse recognizes that the emotional aspects of pregnancy, the nurse recognizes that the woman’s personality, environment, physical state, family, and sociocultural and spiritual background affect the ways in which she handles the psychological changes
o Hormonal and other physical changes assist the woman in the psychological work of pregnancy
o Progesterone level increases affect the woman’s general mood, causing her to be more introverted and passive
o These mood changes help her to focus her energy on the growing child and her own growth and development
o The presence, growth, and movements of the fetus become more part of the woman’s experiential self
o Rubin (1984) – the classic researcher on maternal-infant bonding, the pregnant woman receives immediate sensations of touch, motion, and weight from the fetus that she can share only partially with others
o Supports a maternal feeling of separateness and uniqueness that causes the woman to turn inward
o Worries that the shift in energy away from the world toward herself and her child may cause her to lose contact, drift away from valued relationships, and lose feelings of competence in her areas of achievement
o Spends time analyzing her experiences and their possible influence on her effectiveness as a future parent
o Pregnant women seem overly sensitive and analytical during pregnancy
o Wide mood swings
o Emotional lability
o Irritability
o Changes in sexual desire
136
Emotional changes 2
o Physical discomforts, hormonal changes, feelings about altered body image, cultural considerations, work and relationship adjustments and demanding cognitive maturational processes may also cause these emotional changes
o Rubin’s classic work stimulates nurses to look beyond the physiological and pathological aspects of childbearing to the intricate process of becoming a mother, and to identify areas for providing help
o 2 processes in transition to motherhood: engagement and growth and transformation
o Engagement – making the commitment and being engrossed in mothering through active involvement in the child’s care
o Engagement leads to the woman’s growth and transition as she becomes a mother
o Establishing maternal identity:
- Commitment, attachment, and preparation for the pregnancy
- Acquaintance, learning, and physical restoration during the first 6 weeks after birth
- Moving toward a new normal from 2 weeks to 4 months
