| Gravid/o | Pregnancy AKA gestation |
| cyes/i | Pregnancy AKA gestation |

| Pregnancy or Gestation is the development of a | fertilized ovum from conception to birth |
| Conception is a | joining of an ovum and sperm |

| Pelvimetry | The process of measuring the pelvis |
| Prim/i | First |
| Primipara (primary) | First viable birth |
| Pseudo/o | False |
| Pseudocyesis | False pregnancy (gestation) |
| Pylor/o | Pyloric sphincter |
| The pyloric sphincter allows | food to leave the stomach |
| A pyloric stenosis refers to a | congenital narrowing of the pyloric sphincter causing an ileus |
| Congenital means | you are born with the abnormality (anomaly) |
| An ileus is a | bowel obstruction |
| Nulli- | None |
| Nulliparous | No viable births |
| Amnionitis | Inflammation of the amnion |
| Dystocia | A condition of difficult labor or delivery |
| Embryotocia | Delivery of an embryo AKA spontaneous abortion or miscarriage |
| Toc/o | Labor |
| Hysterorrhexis | Rupture of a uterus |
| Salpingocyesis | Pregnancy occurring in a fallopian tube AKA tubal pregnancy |
| Eptopic | Out of place |
| Abortion | Termination of pregnancy |
| Abruption placente (placental abruption) | Premature separation of the placenta from the uterine wall |
| Placenta previa | Abnormally low implantation of the placenta on the uterine wall |
| Tracheoesophageal fistula (congenital) | Abnormal passageway between the trachea and the esophagus |
| Omphalocele | Congenital Herniation of the intestine through the umbilicus |
| Esophageal atresia | Congenital closure of part of the esophagus |
| Cleft lip (labia) and/or Palate | Congenital split of a lip (labia) and/or roof of the oral cavity (palate) |
| A cleft is a | fissure, crack, or groove |
| Palatopasty | Surgical repair of a palate |
| Labioplasty | Surgical repair of a lip (labia) |
| Amniotomy | Surgical incision of the amnion |
| The layperson would say that the doctor | “broke my water” |
| An amniotomy is performed to | induce labor |
| Amnioscope | Usually lighted instrument used to visualize the amniotic fluid and fetus |
| Amnioscopy | Process of using a usually lighted instrument to view the amniotic fluid and fetus |
| Fetometry | The process of measuring the fetus |
| Amniorrhea | Discharge (escape) of amniotic fluid |
| Amniorrhexis | Rupture of the amnion |

| Intrapartum | Occurring during labor and birth (parturition) |
| Lactic | Pertaining to milk |
| Lactorrhea | The flow or discharge of milk (lactation) |
| Multigravida | More than one pregnancy (gestation) |

| Gravida II para III means | 2 pregnancies and 3 viable births |
| Identical twins occur when the | fertilized ovum splits and the DNA is shared |
