Pathogenesis, SD, DDx, Tx,
Functional plagiocephaly: distorted shape of infants skull due to molding of unfused sutures

↑ incidence since "Back to Sleep" anti-SIDS campaign

Our role as Docs:

Naegle's Rule
EDC Estimate date of "confinement" (ie delivery) = FDLMP (first day of last menstrual period) minus three months plus one week
Determining Gestational Age w/ Fundal Height
12 weeks: symphysis pubis
16 weeks: 1/2 way btw SP &umbilicus
20 weeks: Umbilicus

1 week / cm above umbilicus up to 36 weeks
--not accurate after 36 weeks

36 weeks: at breastbone

does not apply to twins
Determining Fetal Age with US
First Trimester: Acurate ± 7 days by measuring crown to rump

2nd Trimester: accurate ± 7 days by measuring femur length

All parameters ± 3 weeks in 3rd trimester
Timing of Delivery
Lost <20 wks: spontaneous abortion
≤36 wks preterm
37-42 wks term
≥ 43 wks post term
Fetal Movements
"quickening" is first momvements, occurs by 20, as early as 15 in multigravid

fetal mvmts should occur 10x /12h
Prenatal Screening frequency
1-28 wks: monthly (1st 4 mo)
28-36 wks: every 2 weeks (5th to 9th mo)
36-40 wks: weekly (10th mo)
Average weight gain during pregnancy
30 lbs ± 5

Fetal Development:
CNS
Heart
Sex
CNS formation begins at 2 weeks (importance of folic acid)

Heart forms during week 3, visible via US ~wk 6: detectable heart extremely positive Px factor vs. spontaneous abortion

sex visible ~wk 17
3 Major osteopathic considerations of pregnancy
Δ weight Δ fluid Δ hormones
Physiologic Cardiovascular Changes of Pregnancy
CO increases by ~40% btw wks 6-24. Remains near peak until wk 30

CO ↓ slightly from wk 30 to labor

during labor CO ↑ another 30%

↑ uteroplacental circulation to ~1L/min, 20% of all CO at term. Imagine the hemorrhage!

HR ↑ up to 90 bpm
Stroke Volume ↑
Total Blood Volume ↑
Hg ↓ from 13 to 12 g/dL from fluid dilution
Physiologic Renal Changes of Pregnancy
Roughly prallel ↑ in Cardiac Output

↑ GFR ~40% peaking wks 16-24, but remains up nearly to term

↓ BUN & Cr
Physiologic Respiratory Changes of Pregnancy
↑ progesterone: ↑ uterus: interferes with lung expansion

↑ progesterone: signal sbrain to lower CO2 levels

↑ tidal, minute volume & RR → respiratory alkalosis

↑ 20% O2 consumption increases

↑ 10cm thoracic circumference

hyperemia & edema of respiatory tract (incl nasal stuffiness)

mild dyspnea-on-exertion
Physiologic Endocrine Changes of Pregnancy
placental βHCG maintains corpus luteum during trimester

corpus luteum produces progesterone to maintain pregnant state
also secretes relaxin: ↑ SI & pubic symphysis mobility, [relaxin] ≈ LBP

placental produces progesterone directly starting 2nd trimester

fetal adrenal cortisol prodnx → lung surfactant prodxn

placenta produces HPL human placental lactogen to maintain fetal glucose levesl → gestational diabetes: tested wk 26-28; risks include obesity, FHxDM 4% of women

Prolactin from anterior pituitary stim's milk release once estrogens fall
Physiologic Biomechanical Changes of Pregnancy
SI joint pain

Center of gravity moved anterior

Pelvis tilted atnerior

Lumbar hyperlordosis
Thoracic hyperkyphosis

Paraspinal muscles shortened

Abdominals stretched

increased circulation to pelvic organs

increased chest circumference

External rotation of innominates
Risk Factors for LBP in pregnancy
[relaxin] ≈ LBP

Multiparity
Advanced maternal age
Previous Hx LBP or trauma

[NOTassoc: race, occupation, fetal weight/size, pre-pregnancy weight, previous epidural, exercise habits, sleep position, mattress type, heel height, weight gain]
Body Fluid Changes of Pregnancy
Inferior vena cava compressed by uterus → LE venous stasis & edema

Fluids in the body increase approx 6.5 L (or 8.5 according to ICMD)

Pts with carpal tunnel syndrome often manifest now (edema)

put pt at risk for pre-explampisa,exlampsia, renal failure, htn

may manifest as:
CNS malase
↑ tidal volume (decreased blood flow)
conspitation, liver, pancreas congestion
hemorrhoids, varicosities, ↓ nutrition
leg cramps, varicosities
LBP from venous pelxus congestion
Pre-Ecpampsia
New onset HTN >140/90 after 20wks w/ proteinuria >300 mg/24hrs & significant non-dependent edema

"Severe" defined as >160/110 measured 2x 6h apart or proteinuria >500 mg/24h

Risk factors: nulliparity, chronic HTN, Hx preexpampsia, obesity, gestational DM, IR, and thrombophilias

Sx: HA, visual disturbance, chest/epigastric pain, RUQ pain/tenderness, hyperactive DTR's clonus, edema in hands and legs
Pregnancy Induced HTN
BP >140/90

usually develops near term
~20% progress to pre-eclampsia
Contraindications to OMT in Pregnant Pts
VDAB-P-PED

V: Unstable matenral vital signs
D: Untx'd DVT
A: Placental abruption
B: UnDx'd vaginal bleeding
P: ↑ maternal BP
P: Preterm Labor
E: Ectopic pregnancy
D: Fetal distress
Viscerosomatic Reflexes of Female GU tract
T9-T10: Ovary & Fallopian Tubes

T10-L1: Uterus & Urinary Bladder

PSNS:S2-S4
Dysmenorrhea:

SD, OMTx
Cramping pain assoc w/ menstruation

SNS: uterine contraxon
PSNS: Uterine relaxon

OMT to throacolumbar SD will improve homeostasis

Pressure applied over the sacrum of a prone pt reduces the secverity of menstrual cramps: teach a family member (sacral inhibitor pressure)

C2, T5-9
Sacral Inhibition
Great For: Dysmenorrhea

Press down on sacrum, one hand over the other in line with vertical axis

Pt 1/2 breath in and hold
when they breath out you follow down

steady presssure 1-2 minutes
repeat prn
Ischial Tuberosity Spread
Great for: Urinary Incontinence, Hemorrhoids, Pelvic Pain


Pt prone, upper body on elbows

Knees flexed, heels turned out. Operator places thumbs meidal to ischial tuberosities and engages ts. Pt inhales & during exhalation doc pressses laterally.

Space should be noted to open up in area of tx.
Visceral Tx of Bladder
Great for: generalized bladder dysnfx after ruling out organic causes

Pt supine, doc alongside & facing pt at level of pelvis

place palm of caudad hand over suprapubic region. place other hand on top of first hand. Upper hand listens. as lower hand "sinks" through ts . Test restrictions and tx
Thoracolumbar stimulation
Greate for: improving quality of contractions as in uterine dystocia or prolonged labor

Rapid percussion with fists or thumbs T12-L2 for 1 minute every 15 minutes as tolerated
Pregnant Roll
Pt supine, fingers interlaced behind neck.

Doc opposite dysfnx side T.P., caudad hand reaches across to stabalize ASIS. Cephalad hand grasps opposite shouler & rolls pt to doc upon pt exhale. Roll down to level of dysnfx

No HVLA in pregnants.
Frogleg Sacral Rocking
Pt supine, hips & knees flexed, feet together, knees falling toside.

Doc contacts sacrum. W/ respiraotry assistance take sacrum to ligamentous tension balance. pt hold breat & straightens out legs to rotate innominates.

Rassesss.

Sacroiliac Articulartion
Pt supine, Doc flexes pt knee & hip. Doc moves LE from extenral rotation to internal rotation followed by extension. Flex again and move from internal rotation to extenral rotation end with extension. repeat.
