    _____________.

5
Multiple Pregnancy

    ____________births.
  • The number of twins continue to rise.
  • Health of multiple births are concerning doctors
    because of low birth weights (under 3.3 pounds).
  • Puts them at risk for severe vision, hearing,

16
Overview 1st Trimester
  • _________________________________
  • Essential to the proper development of the infant
  • All organs, nerve cells, and brain cells develop
  • Its vital that all necessary nutrients be
    available to the fetus in order to develop
    properly

17
Overview 2nd trimester
  • _______________________ Golden Trimester
  • Mother usually feels the best
  • Morning sickness and nausea have generally
    disappeared

18
Overview 3rd Trimester
  • _________________________________
  • These are important months for the baby as its
    organs and body systems mature and prepare to
    function on their own.
  • Fat accumulated during this time will help give
    the baby a head start on life

19
Overview
  • Prenatal Development is separated into 3 periods
  • __________________
  • Zygote begins at conception and lasts until
    implanted in the mothers uterus (10-14 days)
  • Zygote grows to be about the size of a pinhead
  • Roots grow from the zygote into the wall of the
    uterus so they can receive nutrients from mothers
    blood

20
Overview
  • 2nd period is known as the ______________
  • Embryo lasts from 2 weeks to 8 wks after
    conception
  • Embryo is attached to the mom by the umbilical
    cord (20 inches long) which reaches from the
    embryos stomach to the wall of the uterus
  • Umbilical cord is attached to the placenta
    (serves as a medium for the exchange of nutrients
    and waste between the mother and baby.
  • Embryo is inside the amniotic sac (protects baby
    against bumps, bruises, and temperature change

21
Overview
  • 3rd stage is the _________________
  • Fetus period extends from the end of the 2nd
    month of pregnancy until birth
  • The body parts, organs, and systems which were
    formed during the embryo period will become much
    more developed and being to function.
  • The fetus will begin to resemble a human and
    features will increase in clarity.

22
Signs and SymptomsPregnancy 40 weeks
  • A missing ______________
  • _________________and nausea
  • Frequent ______________
  • _______________

    about _______________. The heart, which is no
    larger than a ______________, has begun beating.

24
Two Months
  • The embryo grows to about an inch long and has
    distinct, slightly webbed fingers. Veins are
    clearly visible. The placenta is already
    nourishing the baby through the umbilical cord.
    The heart has divided into right and left
    chambers. Veins are clearly visible. Most vital
    organs are developed.

25
Three Months
  • Starting at eight weeks, your baby is called a
    _______. By the end of the first trimester, the
    fetus is 2 1/2 to 3 inches long and is fully
    formed. He has begun ___________________. All
    organs and muscles have formed and are beginning
    to function. The arms, legs, hand, and fingers

27
Four Months
  • Your baby is about 2 inches long and is covered
    with a layer of thick, downy hair called ______.
    The first outlines of the face are showing. His
    heartbeat can be heard clearly. This is when many
    mothers feel their baby's first thrilling kick
    (quickening).

28
Five Months
  • If you have an ultrasound, you might see him
    sucking his thumb. By the end of this month, your
    baby will be nearly 8 inches long and weigh
    almost a pound. The skull bones are the most
    important bones being developed at this time.

29
Six Months
  • Tiny eyebrows and eyelids are visible. There is
    a lot of evidence to show that the baby can
    ________ the outside world. Your baby's lungs
    are filled with amniotic fluid, and he has
    started to practice breathing movements. If you
    talk or sing, he can hear you. Fingerprints are
    formed.

30
  • Abdomen ___________
  • __________ is common
  • Expectant fathers take more interest because
    they can feel the baby move.
  • ___________________

    pounds.

34
Nine Months
  • Your baby is a hefty 6 to 9 pounds and measures
    somewhere between 19 and 22 inches. The lungs
    develop in preparation fro breathing and the head
    is now head-down. As he becomes more crowded,
    you may feel him move around less. The last few
    weeks, the baby drops in preparation for
    delivery giving the mother a little breathing
    space.

38
Toxemia
  • A condition in pregnancy, also known as
    pre-eclampsia (or preeclampsia) characterized by
    abrupt hypertension (a sharp rise in blood
    pressure), leakage of large amounts of the
    protein into the urine, and edema (swelling) of
    the hands, feet, and face.
  • Pre-eclampsia is the most common complication of
    pregnancy. It affects about 5 of pregnancies.
  • It usually occurs in the third trimester (the
    last third) of pregnancy
  • Its usually most common in 1st pregnancies and
    for those who are carrying multiplies or have
    diabetes.

39
Ectopic Pregnancy
  • An ectopic pregnancy is a condition in which a
    fertilized egg settles and grows in any location
    other than the inner lining of the uterus.
  • The vast majority of ectopic pregnancies occur in
    the Fallopian tube (98), however, they can occur
    in other locations, such as the ovary, cervix,
    and abdominal cavity.
  • An ectopic pregnancy occurs in about one in 50
    pregnancies.
  • The major health risk of ectopic pregnancy is
    rupture leading to internal bleeding.

40
Stillborn
  • A stillbirth occurs when a fetus which has died
    in the uterus or during labor or delivery, exits
    a woman's body.
  • The term is often used in distinction to live
    birth or miscarriage. Most stillbirths occur in
    full term pregnancies.
  • It can occur from infections, placental
    abruptions, trauma, umbilical cord accidents,
    etc.

41
Spontaneous Abortion
  • A miscarriage, that is, any pregnancy that is not
    viable (the fetus cannot survive) or in which the
    fetus is born before the 20th week of pregnancy.
  • Spontaneous abortion occurs in at least 15-20 of
    all recognized pregnancies and usually takes
    place before the 13th week of pregnancy.

42
Placental Abruption
  • Placental abruption is a complication of
    pregnancy, wherein the placental lining has
    separated from the uterus of the mother. It
    refers to the abnormal separation after 20 weeks
    of gestation and prior to birth.
  • It is the most common cause of late pregnancy
    bleeding.
  • It occurs in 1 of pregnancies world wide with a
    fetal mortality rate of 20-40 depending on the
    degree of separation.
  • Placental abruption is also a significant
    contributor to maternal mortality

43
Placenta Previa
  • If you have placenta previa, it means that your
    placenta is lying unusually low in your uterus,
    next to or covering your cervix. The placenta is
    the pancake-shaped organ normally located near
    the top of the uterus that supplies your baby
    with nutrients through the umbilical cord.
