Q

What is the process of fetal circulation?

A

1) The umbilical vein carries oxygenated blood from the maternal side of the placenta
2) Crosses through the ductus venosus into the inferior vena cava and then to right atrium
3) Crosses the Foramen ovale from right atrium to left atrium
4) Some blood is pumped to the pulmonary artery passing a small amount of blood to the lungs-just enough to supply organ/stimulate growth
5) The larger portion of blood passes from the pulmonary artery though the patent ductus arteriousus into the descending aorta, and into circulation
6) Finally blood returns to placenta through the two umbilical arteries and process is repeated

2) hCG
3) Estrogen
4) hPL
5) Prostaglandins

94
Q

Function of Progesterone

Where is it secreted from?

A

Inhibits uterine activity (contractions)
Great role in maintaining pregnancy and preparing breast tissue (develops acini and lobules)

Corpeus luteum

95
Q

Where is hCG secreted from

A

Trophoblast in early pregnancy which stimulates continued estrogen and progesterone secretion by corpus luteum (that maintains pregnancy until placenta can function around week 12)

96

Function of estrogen

A

promotes growth of uterine/breast tissues

97
Q

Function of hPL (human placental lactogen)

Where is it produced?

A

1) increases circulating free fatty acids to meet maternal metabolic needs and decreases maternal metabolism of glucose to favor fetal growth
2) insulin antagonist (increasing uptake of glucose to the fetus)
3) triggers milk production

Produced by synctiotrophoblast

98
Q

A

stimulates labor

99

Measure in cms with tape measure from pubic symphysis (pubic bone) to top of fundus, should correspond to weeks of gestation
(wk 24 = 24 cms)

+/- 2cm is normal

103

Greater at beginning of pregnancy, relieved as fundus grows upward

104

If there is Excess growth, what does it indicate?

A

1) IUGR (intraauterine growth retardation)
2) Oligohydramnios

1) Obesity
2) Fibroids
3) LGA (large for gestational age)
4) Twins
5) Polyhydramnios

105
Q

How do the Breasts change?

A

1) Fullness, heaviness
2) Heightened sensitivity from tingling to sharp pain
3) Areolae becomes darker, more pigmented
4) Montgomery glands more obvious (lubricate), increase in fibroglandular tissue (makes breasts nodular)
5) Colostrum by 16 weeks, supervicial veins may dilate/more prominent
(colostrum may appear after 12th week)

106
Q

Cardiovascular changes in

1) blood volume and what does it cause
2) cardiac output
3) iron demand

A

1) Blood volume increases by 50% mostly in blood plasma not bc’s -causes physiologic anemia due to hemodilution
2) cardiac output increases
3) iron demand increases

107
Q

What heart sound is normal to be heard in 90% of women?

What happens to pulmonary vascular resistance?

A

1) Systolic murmur

2) decreases

108
Q

How does the
1) Pulse change?

2) Blood pressure change?
3) Coagulation change?

A

1) Increases in 10-15 bpm in 2nd trimester
2) Decreases in 2nd trimester
3) Increased coagulation times in factors 7 -10, (hypercoaguble) to prevent hemorrhage during birth (hepatic enzymes and clotting factors tend to favor clotting)

109
Q

Venous stasis in late pregnancy is due to

A

decreased blood return to the heart, it pools in the extremities, creating increased risk for thrombotic event

110
Q

What happens to the pressure on the inferior vena cava from the weight of the uterus, what does it lead to?

What should you teach the mother not to do?

A

Increased pressure on the inferior vena cava from weight of uterus, it may lead to supine hypotensive syndrome

Teach the mother to avoid lying on back, and instead lie on the left side as it enhances uteroplacental flow

111
Q

Changes in Respiratory System

1) Change to what type of breathing?
2) What 4 factors increase?
3) What happens to nasal passages?

A

1) thoracic breathing

G = 4 (total # of pregnancies including the current one)

T = 1 (Number of term infants)

P = 2 (Number of preterm infants born 20-37 wks) Thus twins count as 1 pregnancy but 2 births
