| ductus arteriosus | diverts blood from pulmonary artery to aorta. closes functionally 15h completely 3weeks |
| Foramen ovale | window left atrium to right, closes temp 2h completely 3months |
| ductus venosus | diverts blood away from liver as it returns from placenta, closes functionally when cord is cut and completely in one week |
| 3 categories of pregnancy signs | *presumptive:signs and symptoms that may resemble pregnancy *probable:indicate pregnancy the majority of the time *positive:medically proven |
| presumptive | amenorrhea, N&V, breast tenderness, urinary frequency, fatigue, quickening(tummy movement) |
| Probable | Uterine enlargement _ Pigmentation changes _ Positive pregnancy test _ Chadwick’s sign _ Ballottement _ Braxton Hick’s _ Goodell’s sign _ Hegar’s sign |
| positive | fetal heart sounds palpating active fetal movments visualizing fetus by U/S |
| changes in endocrine system during pregnancy | first produced in luteum and then by placenta, maintain pregnancy ESTROGEN, AND PROGESTERONE |
| HPL | affects the metabolic system of the maternal organism. HPL decreases maternal insulin sensitivity, and, therefore, raises maternal blood glucose levels, whilst decreasing maternal glucose utilization |
| human chorionic gonadotropin or simply (hCG). | This hormone is produced by fetal trophoblast cells. It binds to the luteinizing hormone receptor on cells of the corpus luteum, which prevents luteal regression. Thus, hCG serves as the signal for maternal recognition of pregnancy. |
| changes of the reproductive system during pregnancy. (continued) | breast preped to lactate by hpl, estrogen, progesterone,prolactin. rapidly increase in size first 8weeks from vascular engorgment |
| changes of the cardiovascular system during pregnancy. | orthostatic hypertension, venacava compression by uterus+baby(supine hypotensive syndrome)cardiac output doubles, 40% increase in volume. clotting factors increase |
| when is the placenta fully functional | at 3 months the placenta is fully operational, begins to function 4th week |
| scheduled prenatal visits | every month for first 7months. every 2 weeks during the 8th month. weekly during the 9th month |
| discomforts of the first trimester | N&V, frequency, breast tenderness vaginal discharge |
| interventions for first trimester discomforts | N&V (eat dry crackers in am)supportive bra for tenderness. vaginal discharge=hygiene cotton panties contact dr for change in color odor character |
| interventions for second trimester | heart burn(pyrosis)maalox or gelusil no sodium bicarb or alka seltzer.gas and constipation=water 8glasses,exercise roughage. hemorrhoids= cool witch hazel, sitz bath, up dietary fiber leg cramps= eval calcium intake. round lig pain= heat pack, pillow abd |
| vaccinations for pregnancy | tetnus during second trimester. Tdap given after delivery. in short viruses can cross placenta.!!!!!MMR 28 days later |

| fetal activity study (NST) | Non stress test _ Fetal monitor to mother’s abdomen _ Assess acceleration of FHR in association with movementTo assess fetal well being _ Normal = reactive _ Done after 28 weeks |
| oxytocin challenge test (Stress test) | Stress Test _ Induce contractions _ Oxytocin or nipple stimulation _ Evaluate FHR in response to contractions _ Assess fetal well-being during labor _ Normal = negative _ Done at 30 weeks FHR deceleration in response is bad news for baby! |
| internal monitoring | Rupture membranes • Cervical dilation +2 • Spiral electrode (head or butt) • Uterine catheter (intensity measured from within) |
| Fetal Heart patterns | Rate: 110-160, variability:6-25/min Decells are bad accells good= reassuring |
| accelerations | 15BPM with fetal activity (exercise) also with vaginal exams, contractions, fundal pressure, and breach presentations. |
| early Decelerations | _ Decrease in FHR _ Starts and ends with contraction (V-shape) _ Head compression (vagal response) intervention: monitor and reasure mother. |

| Engagement vs crowning | engagement is 0 station. crowning is +2 or +3 |
| duration | no longer than 90 sec |
| intervals | no shorter than 60 seconds |
| mechanisms of labor | Engagement & descent _ Flexion _ Internal rotation _ Extension _ External rotation _ Expulsion |
| engagement& decent | presenting part at 0 station |
| flexion | the fetal head flexes so that the chin rest of the chest |
| internal rotation | fetal head rotates from transverse to anterior position assisted by the pelvic inlet pressure. |
| extension | begins when fetal head is at the pelvic floor, and it pivots under the pubic symphysis and advances upward. extension is complete when head is born. |
| external rotation (restitution) | the head immediatly rotates back to the transverse position in alignment with the shoulders, and the shoulders align themselves with the AP diameter of the pelvic outlet |
| expulsion | anterior shoulder rotates forward under pub symph and delivered,the rest of the body delivered quickly. this ends the second stage of labor |
