| Abnormal development | Teratogenesis |
| An organism or substance capable of altering development | Teratogen |
| When can transfer of nutrients and other substances via the plancetia? | 5 weeks gestation (through Passive diffusion) |
| All-or-none effect resulting in spontaneous abortion or miscarriage | (First trimester) 2 weeks |
| Sensitivity to teratogens increases when cells begin to divide | (First trimester) |
| CNS development occur when? | (First trimester) week 3-5 |
| Creation of major organ system are finished (organogenesis is complete) | (First trimester) After the first 10 weeks |
| Effects are likely physiologic, minor morphological abnormalities are possible | (Second Trimester: week 14 -26) |
| Growth retardation is a possibility | (Second Trimester: week 14 -26) |
| More likely to affect long-term CNS function (learning, behavior) | Third trimesters: weeks 27-39 |
| Brain continues myelinating for 2 additional years after birth | Third trimesters: weeks 27-39 |
| Risk of growth retardation continues | Third trimesters: weeks 27-39 |
| Preg Category? Well-controlled studies demonstrate no risk to the fetus | Caterogy A |
| Preg Category? If animla show risk, human studies show lack of risk OR animla studies show no risk | Caterogy B |
| Preg Category? No human studies and no animal studies OR risk only demonstrate in animal (benefit may outweigh risk) | Caterogy C (most common 66%) |
| Preg Category? investigation or post-marketing data show fetal risk, however, benefit may outweigh risk | Caterogy D |
| Preg Category? Animal or human studies clearly define that there is risk to the fetus, benefit does not outweight risk | Caterogy X |
| Smoking and pregnancy | Although not associated with structural birth defects, both mother and baby are at risk for complications |
| pH of milk? | acdiction. Weak bases (pKa >6) concentrates in milk in the ionzied form |
| pH in plasma | Weak acids (pKa < 8) because of greater concentration of ionized form |
