What is a Bishop score? What is it used for?
Scoring of the cervix during/before labor. This helps us determine whether or not the patient is in labor, what phase of labor they’re in and how the labor is progressing. Predictor of whether or not IOL is necessary
Bishop score >8?
Vag delivery likely, the cervix will probably do just fine.
Bishop <6?
Probably need some kind of induction method
5 Components of a Bishop Score
“Call PEDS Fast”
Cervical Position (it kind of retracts for labor Effacement (thinning) Dilation Softness (consistency) Fetal Station
Stage I of labor
Onset of labor until complete dilation of cervix. Consists of active phase and latent phase
How long does stage 1 take if nullip? Mulltip?
Null: 10-12 hrs
Mull: 6-8 hrs
What defines the latent phase of labor?
Onset of labor until the cervix is dilated 3-4 cm. Not considered active until 3-4 cm.
When does active phase start? When does it end? How long does this take (null vs mull)
Starts at 3-4cm, ends at 9cm.
Null: 1cm/hr
Mull 1.2cm/hr
What are the 3 P’s
Power of contractions
Passenger- size and position of the kid
Pelvis/Passage- size/shape of pelvis
What defines stage 2 labor? Length of time null vs mull
9cm until the delivery of the infant
Null- >2 hours is considered prolonged. >3 if epidural
Mull- >1 hr is prolonged. >2 if epidural
Repetitive early & variable decels in stage 2 labor?
Totally normal! Have to do with contractions. Being repetitive is good
Late decels, bradycardia or loss of variability?
NOT OKAY! This is when we consider an urgent cesarean
What defines stage III delivery
Delivery of the infant until the delivery of the placenta. Takes 5-30 min
3 signs of placental separation
Cord lengthening
Sudden blood gush
Uterine fundal rebound as placenta detaches
First degree tear
Vaginal mucosa
Second degree tear
Perineal tear. Taint
3rd degree tear
Anal sphincter involvement
4th degree tear
Tears into the rectum
RF for molar pregnancy
Extremes in age. Hx of GTD. Nullip. OCP use
Pathognomonic for molar pregnancy
PEC, hyperemesis and hyperthyroidism happening <20 weeks. It’s like pregnancy gone rogue. ALSO HEAVY VAGINAL BLEEDING
PE on molar preg
PEC, hyperthyroid, NO FETAL HEART TONES, uterus is MASSIVE for GA, grape like goop coming out of the cervix, theca lutein cysts
Molar pregnancy on US
Molar tissue looks like “diffuse mixed echogenc pattern”. Not a fetus, it’s a weird clump of tissue made from chorionic villi and intrauterine blood clots.
Management of a molar pregnancy
Immediate removal to prevent persistant/malignant GTD.
Also tx the symptoms
PEC? Anti HTN
HCG induced hyperthyroid? BB to prevent thyroid storm
Done with childbearing? Cut that uterus out
Which type of mole is more likely to lead to persistent GTD
