arterial bleeding
flows in spurts and is bright red
Polyhydramnios vs. Oligohydraminos
Poly = excessive amount of amniotic fluid (because girls named Polly like to be extra)
Oligohydramnios = poor amount of amniotic fluid (because boys named Ollie are poor)
sign that the brain gets enough perfusion
level of consciousness
differences in placental previas
partial = partly covers the cervix
marginal = at the cervical edge, but not covering it
low lying = within 2 cm of cervical OS
complete = covers the cervix completely
Constipation in Pregnancy is usually a result of:
prolonged stomach emptying time and decreased intestinal motility
A gynecoid pelvic shape has what characteristics?
Rounded inlet, nonprominent ischial spines and wide, round pubic arch
An android pelvic shape has what characteristics?
Heart shaped inlet, prominent ischial spines, and narrow, deep pubic arch
, A platypelloid pelvic shape has what characteristics?
flattened at the inlet, prominent ischial spines and sacrum, and a wide pubic arch
An anthropoid pelvic shape has what characteristics?
Oval outlet, prominent or nonprominent ischial spines, and normal pubic arch
What does a positive direct coombs test done on cord blood mean?
Presence of antibodies coating the baby's red blood cells.
Largest diameter of the fetal head
occipitomental
Uterine involution occurs as a result of:
autolysis of protein material within the uterine wall
Positive sign of pregnancy
Ultrasound
Women with severe preeclampsia are at higher risk for?
Abruptio Placenta
Normal breathing pattern for term baby is usually:
abdominal breathing with synchronous chest movements
Vit K is given to a newborn in the immediate PP period because:

Infants of diabetic mothers are at risk for:
respiratory distress syndrome, macrosomia, hypoglycemia
Which organism in the birth canal directly relates to newborn Thrush?
candida albicans
When can congenital syphilis be contracted by the baby?
During the 5th month of pregnancy (congenital means from birth)

Dorsal position
a supine position used in vaginal exams or assisted delivery
What causes late decels?
-Decels after the peak of a contraction
-Cause: Placental insufficiency, can lead to fetal hypoxia
What causes early decels?
-Early meaning just before or in rhythm with contractions
- Cause: Head compression
