define SAB
spontaneous abortion that happens before 20 weeks

early SAB = before 12 weeks
late SAB = 12-20 weeks
what are the 6 types of SAB (just list)
1. complete
2. incomplete
3. threatened
4. inevitable
5. missed
6. recurrent
complete SAB
all of the POCs have been passed and expelled through the uterus

cervix is closed
incomplete SAB
some but not all POCs have been expelled from the uterus

cervix is still opened & could have some POCs in cervix

may have bleeding & uterine cramping
threatened SAB
w/o cervical change, the woman has some spotting, bleeding, and cramping

POCs are still in uterus

tx: bedrest & no sex for 2 weeks
inevitable SAB
some but not all POCs have been expelled and cervix is opened

SAB will happen/is inevitable
missed SAB
POCs are still inside after fetus has died

cervix is closed though

(usually, the uterus has atonied)
recurrent SAB
3 or more serial pregnancies that end in SAB
risks for SAB
- endocrine imbalance
- infection
- maternal structural problems
- immunological factors
- systemic disorders
- drug use
- inadequate nutrition
define insufficient cervix & tx
passive & painless dilation of the cervix within 2nd trimester

tx:
- cerclage in 2nd trimester
- no sex, no standing for long periods of time
- cerclage is often taken out at 37 weeks or during scheduled c-section
sxs of ectopic pregnancy
- abnormally low or slow-rising hCG levels
- adnexal (outside of uterus) tenderness & fullness on exam
- referred shoulder pain on same side
define GTD
gestational trophoblastic disease

it's an abnormal growth of trophoblast cells that attach the fertilized ovum to the uterine wall
--> the proliferating trophoblasts fill the uterus w/ vesicles that resemble a cluster of grapes

not a viable pregnancy
define molar pregnancy
type of GTD in which a slow-growing tumor arises from abnormally growing trophoblast cells

also not a viable pregnancy

2 types: complete & partial
complete vs partial molar pregnancy
complete = contains no genetic material/fetal tissue
- believed to occur when the ovum is fertilized by sperm & then duplicates its own chromosomes while the chromosomes of the ovum are inactivated

partial = some fetal tissue/membranes & some chromosomal contribution, but the fetus is NOT VIABLE
- cause unknown
sxs & tx of molar pregnancy
sxs:
- vaginal bleeding
- severe N/V
- uterus is large for gestation dates
- no FHR/tones or activity is detected
- hCG levels are high & rising rapidly
- cramping

tx:
- immediate vacuum evacuation after diagnosis by ultrasound
- identifying tissues to see if there's a malignancy present
- monitor hCG levels weekly (should be down completely by week 3)
- advise woman not to get pregnant for 1 yr & continued monitoring
- grief & bereavement counseling
2 causes of late pregnancy bleeding & which of these is painful
1. placenta previa
--> merely a POSITION, so it's PAINFUL

2. placental abruption
--> this is a SEPARATION so it's SUPER PAINFUL
define placenta previa
when the placenta partially or completely covers the internal cervical os
3 types of placenta previa & which can be delivered vaginally?
generally, placenta previa can't be delivered vaginally

3 types:
1. complete (covers all of internal os)
2. partial (covers part of internal os)
3. marginal (only covers small part of internal os --> SOMETIMES the placenta will switch positions and move up & can be delivered vaginally)
management of placenta previa
- bed rest
- NPV
- evaluation of fetal well-being
- NEVER DO VAGINAL EXAMS
- c-section
sxs of placental abruption
- board-like abdomen
- localized uterine tenderness
- vaginal bleeding may be concealed
what must you r/o if a woman comes in with placental abruption?
domestic violence (a risk factor for placental abruption is physical trauma)
how is GDM diagnosed
GDM = gestation diabetes, onset is after 24 weeks

screening = GCT (glucose challenge test) --> 24-28 weeks
diagnostic = GTT (glucose tolerance test) --> f/u to elevated GCT

to diagnose GDM:
- GCT value > 200
OR
- 2 abnormal values on GTT (could be fasting, 1 hr, 2 hr, 3 hr)
- fasting = >105

[remember! normal values =
(65-70) - (100-105)]
causes of s<d
s<d = size is less than dates

causes:
- IUGR
- SGA
- oligohydramnios (low AF)
causes of s>d
- macrosomia
- LGA
- multifetal pregnancy
- fibroid uterus
- polyhydramnios (too much AF)
2 types of IUGR
1. symmetrical = long-term insult (baby is small everywhere, including head)

2. asymmetrical = happens late & is head-sparing
normal AFI for term baby
AFI = amniotic fluid index

normal = 5-20 cm
what constitutes oligohydramnios?
AFI< 5 cm

generally means baby isn't urinating --> could be a/w congenital anomalies, IUGR, PROM, post-maturity, or fetal distress during labor

associated w/ increased perinatal mortality rate
normal AFV for a term baby
AFV = amniotic fluid volume

normal = 800-1200 ccs
what constitutes polyhydramnios?
AFI > 20 cm

also a/w:
- difficulty auscultating fetal heart tones & palpating fetus
- unstable fetal lie (increased risk for cord prolapse)
- need to r/o GDM & ABO/RH disease
complications of polyhydramnios
- fetal malpresentation (baby is moving around excessively)
- placental abruption (uterus is heavy b/c of so much fluid)
- uterine dysfunction during labor
- PPH
- cord prolapse
- preterm labor
requirements for use of forceps or vacuum
- ROM
- cervix fully dilated
- absence of CPD (must r/o)
- empty bladder
most common type of forceps classification
low forceps (baby is at 2+ station)
advantages of vacuum-assisted birth over forceps delivery
- less maternal discomfort
- less risk of lacerations/perineal & cervical trauma

disadvantages:
- could have major caput or cephalohematoma
indications for a c/s (c-section)
- maternal or fetal distress
- CPD
- malpresentation (breech or transverse)
- placental previa or abruption
- cord prolapse
- failed induction
- multi-fetal pregnancies

*VBAC is contraindicated
lower uterine segment c/s
2 types:
1. low transverse
*VBAC is possible!!

2. low vertical incision
*VBAC is contraindicated
contraindications for c/s
- if platelets are <90 [normal is (150-165) - (400-450)] or other coagulation defects
- fetal death (FD)
- fetus is not expected to survive
complications of a VBAC
- uterine rupture
- retained placenta
- cord prolapse
- shoulder dystocia
- PPH
- PP infection
2 types of uterine rupture
1. incomplete rupture
- pain may not be present
- non-reassuring signs (decreased FHR, no accels)
- woman may experience N/V, faintness, abdominal tenderness, hypotonic uterine ctxs
- lack of progress

2. complete rupture
- woman may complain of sudden, sharp, shooting abdominal pain
- may state that "something gave way"
3 types of adherent placenta
1. acreta
- slight penetration of myometrium

2. increta
- "in deep"
- deep penetration of myometrium

3. percreta
- "per"/perforation
- complete perforation of uterus
management of cord prolapse
- put woman in reverse trendelenberg or knees to chest
- w/ gloves on, put hand inside vagina & push up on baby's head
- give O2 & IV fluids
- monitor FHR
- keep cord wet/perfused w/ gauze if possible
- birth by c/s
define shoulder dystocia and why would it happen?
shoulder dystocia = anterior shoulder can't pass under the pubic arch of maternal pelvis (gets stuck)

r/t macrosomia (large baby) and pelvic anomalies

turtle sign = think shoulder dystocia!!!
management of shoulder dystocia
- mcrobert's maneuver (pull knees to chest to simulate squatting --> opens pelvic outlet)
- suprapubic pressure to collapse shoulder angle
risk factors for PPH
- most common is uterine atony

1st line:
pitocin (10-40 units)

2nd line:
methergine (vasoconstrictor) (0.2 mg IM)
**containdicated in HTN/PIH --> could cause stroke
primary sxs of uterine inversion
- hemorrhage
- pain
