Abdominal pain cause: round ligament pain
Abortion, spontaneous: loss of fetus of less than 20-22 weeks. 25% of all pregnancies end in
spontaneous abortion.
AFP-all can cause increase in maternal AFP except: Meningomyelocele. (open neural tube
defect, Down’s syndrome, underestimated gestational age).
Amniocentesis: done @ 15-18 weeks.
ART, Ethical testing with: can reject embryos affected by inherited disease.
ASCUS: atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance.
Asthma management: Beta 2 agonists, theophylline, epi, cromolyn & glucocorticoids ok to use. Asthma
Bronchospasms improve during: 8-13 weeks gestation.
Augmentation: Stimulation of uterus by external agent to enhance contractions.
Biophysical profile. Fetal tone, breathing, motion, amniotic fluid volume, non-stress test.
Bleeding, vaginal, painless, normal VS, normal FHT, soft uterus @ 37 weeks= Placenta previa.
3rd trimester bleeding = placenta previa
Blood serum Hcg detects Hcg: 8-10 days after fertilization.
BMI: increases 20-25% during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding contradiction: early HIV infection in mother.
Caffeine allowed during pregnancy. 200mg/day.
Calcium, daily intake: 1 quart cow’s milk. 1200mg/day. East green leafy vegetables.
Chorionic villus sample (CVS): detects chromosomal anomalies (not anatomical). Can be done @ 10-12
weeks.
Chlamydia, with a positive culture, best medication is: Azithromycin.
Congenital Rubella Syndrome, risk for: @ 16 weeks of pregnancy.
Continence, to maintain: Bladder pressure must be lower than urethral pressure.
Contraindications for estrogen use: Known/suspect of breast CA, Hx of biliary tract disorder, breast CA.
Copper IUD: good for 10 years.
Cyclic mastaglia: Caused by hormonal changes associated with menstruation.
Cytomegalovirus (CMV): Can remain dormant for life.
DMPA administered: Every 13 weeks.
, Down’s syndrome associated with: decrease in maternal AFP levels.
Drugs/medications with safest profile category: Category A.
Early pregnancy loss: Due to unknown causes.
Elderly primipara: maternal age after 35 years old
EMB: currently performed in clinical practice, the others are infrequent.
Endometrial cancer occurs in: post-menopausal women between the ages of 60-65.
Erythropoietin replacement therapy indicated in: Chronic Renal Failure.
Exercise in moderation is ok during pregnancy.
FDA pregnancy risk: Category D: Tetracycline; Category B: Erythromycin. Recommended days for
antimicrobial therapy: 3-7 days for asymptomatic bacteriuria.
Fetal brain configuration: Complete at 12 weeks gestation.
Fetal heart tones: Heard at 10-12 weeks with doppler, conventional fetoscope at 18-20 weeks,
transabdominal US @ 7-8 weeks.
Fetal loss/stillborn: considered at 20 weeks or less.
Fetal measurement counts (FMC): 10 movements within 2 hours.
Fetal movement: noticed around the 4th or 5th month.
FIGO: used to stage cervical cancer.
Folic acid minimum: in PNV 0.4mg.
Foods that increase brain development: Red meat (its high in DHA).
Gestational diabetes: diagnosis standard for GDM is abnormal 75g OGTT with plasma glucose fasting
and at 1 and 2 hours. Done @ 24-28 weeks
Glucose screening (24-28 wks). Q: @ 24 weeks glucose is at 160mg/dL: A: appropriate to schedule a 3-
hour glucose tolerance test.
Gonadotropins regulating gynecologic organs: TSH & LH.
Hcg Blood serum detects Hcg: 8-10 days after fertilization.
Hcg qualitative urine is reliable: 7-9 days after fertilization.
Hgb level of 11g/dL is: Normal finding due to hemodilution.
Hormonal changes in late pregnancy, pelvic joints relax results in: waddling gate and joint instability.
