> endometrium, upper posterior wall - most common uterine site for implantation

>1 sperm + 1 egg cell = zygote (3 layers: endoderm, mesoderm, ectoderm)
ECTODERM - CNS brain, spinal cord
MESODERM - muscle, musculoskeletal system, cardiovascular system, heart
ENDODERM - GIT/GUT, stomach, intestines, reproductive system, liver

>Fetal outline of sonography/ ultrasound - positive signs of pregnancy

>Greenish amniotic fluid - will cause alarm

>Get the FIRST day of LMP - to get the EDC/EDD

>Methylegonovine - Methergine causes hypertension
promotes uterine contraction - SUSTAINED uterine contraction / puro contraction lang, no relaxation
Oxytocin - causes intermittent uterine contraction / on and off contraction

>IRON - 210 days / tablets, to be taken once a day, 200mg

>AVOID smoking - during pregnancy d/t can cause vasoconstriction that can cause hypertension and may compromise nutrients going to fetus that may lead to SGA small for gestational age.
best exercise for pregnant mother - walking
SEX is not contraindicated
TRAVEL is not allowed during 3rd trimester via air d/t high altitude

>LEG CRAMPS - dorsiflex the foot while extending the knee
caused by insufficient calcium. eat/ drink high in calcium: milk, cheese, dairy products, dilis, saluyot

>TRUE labor - increased frequency and duration contraction, bloody show, contraction felt at lower back and radiates towards the abdomen

>PRIMARY POWER of labor - uterine contraction
secondary power - pushing of the mother

> (-1) Station - FLOATING
0 station - at ischial spina
-1 station - 1cm above ischial spine floating
-2 station - 2cm above ischial spine floating
-3 station - 3cm above ischial spine floating
+1 engaged 1cm below ischial spine engaged
+2 engaged 2cm below ischial spina engaged
+3 engaged 3cm below ischial spine CROWNING

>extreme Flexion - VERTEX
posterior - occiput presentation / vertex
anterior - sinciput

>Ripening of cervix - 1st stage of labor (ripening of cervix first before dilatation)
1st - dilation
2nd - expulsion
3rd - placenta
4th - recovery

>Oxytocin - Hypotension
Methergine - Hypertension

>Direct Coomb's - newborn test (for RH incompatibility)
Indirect Coomb's - mother test (for RH incompatibility)

>Boggy uterus with rubra lochia - massage the uterus

>Magnesium Sulfate - check the RR

>give RHOGAM - RH - , Coombs -

>vaginal bleeding & one sided pain - Ectopic pregnancy

>primary infertility - never had a child
secondary infertility - had a child, but di na nagkaroon ng kasunod
mahabang pag gamit ng pills ay nakakasira ng pag function ng ovary

>sperm MOTILITY - most important for conception to occur

>severe nausea, cold, clammy skin - decreased oxygenation - elevate legs

>Meperidine (Demerol) - cause respiratory depression to newborn

>first sign of EXCESSIVE MgSO4 - disappearance of knee jerk reflexes

>Ectopic Pregnancy - Sharp, lower right or left abdominal pain radiating to the shoulder

>bag of water ruptured - FIRST ACTION: place to lying position then check fetal heart tone

>nitrazine paper test - procedure to know if bag of water ruptured
Blue - amniotic fluid
Yellow - urine

>Patient asked for Demerol (pain reliever) during labor - ask to change position, to alleviate pain

>Heart and Brain of baby develops - 1st month : vital organs

>Fetal heart tone variability -unpredictable ang FHT ; abnormal ; cord compression
Early deceleration - NORMAL DECELERATION : increased contraction = decreased FHT, relax uterus = go back/increase FHT
(fetal head compression)
Late deceleration - increased contraction = decreased FHT, relax uterus = lalo bababa FHT
abnormal ; utero placental problem, decreased oxygen mapupunta sa baby ; placental insufficiency

>MgSO4 blood therapeutic level - 0.5-1.5 meq/l

>15 years old pregnant - maliit pa ang balakang / pelvic inlet. during labor, assess for signs of cephalo pelvic disproportion

>Hyperventilation - Respiratory alkalosis

>Anterior Position - common fetal position  
Posterior position (painful) - severe back pain

>"the baby is coming" - check the perineum to validate

>to remain calm/ reduce fear of client - explain what's happening

>assess to prevent complication during labor and delivery - family history of lung illness

>Bag of water - expect to see clear to straw colored
small segment of umbilical cord - cord prolapse - CS

>Bag of water ruptures - first action: monitor fetal heart tone

>purpose of Episiotomy - to minimize laceration, widen/enlarge vaginal opening

>under PHOTOTHERAPY - increase fluid intake to prevent dehydration dahil nagkakaroon ng fluid loss. cover infant's eyes and genitals, 12-18 inches away from the baby if masyado mataas is useless at if masyado malapit sunog

>Neonate post mature / more than 42 weeks - hypoglycemia (placenta ay up to 42 weeks life span and unti unti na mamamatay ang placenta: sa placenta dumadaana ang nutrients/sugar at hindi na ito makakadaan)
premature - infection

>Post term - wrinkled, peeling skin (decreased vernix caseosa and magddry ang skin ng baby = desquamation)

>Start giving solid food - 6 months

>breast milk in freezer - 6 months
body of ref - 3 months
chest type freezer - 12 months

>plastic - container of breast milk

>tubal pregancy = immediate surgery - ask consent for salphingectomy
(removal of fallopian tube)
hysterectomy - removal of uterus
oophorectomy - removal of ovary
TAHBSO - total abdominal hysterectomy bilateral salphingectomy oopherectomy

>Heart disease at early stage of labor - semi fowlers position

>Breastfeeding sore nipples - warm compress
Non breastfeeding sore nipples - cold compress

>CROWNING - pant blowing technique to decrease chances of laceration

>baby breast swollen & red vaginal discharge of newborn (pseudomenstruation) - NORMAL d/t increased progesterone at kusang mawawala without treatment

>Ectopic Pregnancy - can happen after pelvic Infection / PID

>Epidural anesthesia - check for hypotension

>LGA baby of diabetic mother - check for HYPOGLYCEMIA

>prevent seizure in Eclampsia - restricting visitors and room darkened, quiet environment

> Mastitis - due to improper breastfeeding = continue breastfeeding. 

>PIH - BP systolic increased 30mmHg, diastolic increased 15mmHg

>False Labor - walk to alleviate pain/discomfort

>Large, diamond fontanel (Anterior) - presentation Brow

>Pale, diaphoretic, severe lower abdominal pain with tearing sensation during IV oxytocin - rupture of uterus

>HIV transmitted - most commonly results of sexual contact

>Occiput posterior position - painful, intense back pain d/t posterior position
