⩥ Uterine fibroid.
Answer: Can increase the risk for postpartum hemorrhage due to the
increase in blood supply to the uterus, which supports the fibroid.
Will undergo serial US examinations during pregnancy to monitor
because they are likely to grow during pregnancy in response to the
increased circulating estrogen.
Can have a vaginal delivery if it is small and not near the cervical os.
⩥ Hydatidiform mole.
Answer: AKA a molar pregnancy.
A benign proliferative growth of the chorionic villi, which gives rise to
multiple cysts.
The products of conception transform into a large number of edematous,
fluid-filled vesicles.
,As cells slough off the uterine wall, vaginal discharge is usually dark
brown and can contain grape-like clusters.
⩥ Alleviating lower back pain during the latent phase of labor.
Answer: Counter-pressure applied to the client's sacral area during
contractions.
This lifts the fetal head away from the sacral nerves, which decreases
pain.
⩥ Preterm labor - which medication should the nurse plan to

Occurs when there is a renal system dysfunction or obstructive uropathy.
Absence of fetal kidneys will cause this.
⩥ What causes late decelerations?.
Answer: Fetal hypoxemia due to insufficient placental perfusion.
⩥ Treatment of late decelerations.
, Answer: Reposition the client, initiate oxygen, and increase the infusion
rate of IVF to enhance placental perfusion.
⩥ What causes early decelerations?.
Answer: Fetal head compression.
⩥ What causes variable decelerations?.
Answer: Compression of the umbilical cord.
Often occurs after ROM.
⩥ Nagele's rule.
Answer: Count back 3 months from the first day of the LMP, then add 7
days.
