S/sx: dysmennorhea, low back pain. Dx: biopsy Laparoscopy Meds: 1. Danazole (Danocrene) a. to stop mens b. inhibit ovulation 2. Lupreulide (Lupron) inhibit FSH/LH production
Myometrium largest part of the uterus, muscle layer for delivery process
Its smooth muscles are considered to be the living ligature of the body
Power of labor, resp- contraction of the uterus
Function:
d. Fallopian tubes 2-3 inches long that serves as a passageway of the sperm from the uterus to the ampulla or the passageway of the mature ovum or fertilized ovum from the ampulla to the uterus.

Menstrual Cycle
4 Phases of Menstrual Cycle 1. Proliferative 2. Secretory 3. Ischemic 4. Menses Parts of body responsible for mens: hypothalamus anterior pituitary gland master clock of body ovaries uterus

the
Proliferative Phase
Functions of LH:
(13th day-decreased progesterone) LH stimulates ovaries
14th
day estrogen level is increased while the progesterone level is increased causing rupture of graffian follicle on process of ovulation.
Secretory Phase
Lutheal Phase Postovulatory PhaseIncreased progesterone Premenstrual Phase
Secretory Phase
Cornix- where sperm is deposited
Sperm- small head, long tail, pearly white Phonones-vibration of head of sperm to determine
location of ovum
Excitement Phase (sign present in both sexes, moderate increase in HR, RR,BP, sex flush, nipple erection) erotic stimuli cause increase sexual tension, lasts minutes to hours.
Plateau Phase (accelerated V/S) increasing & sustained tension nearing orgasm. Lasts 30 seconds 3 minutes.
Fertilization
Stages of Fetal Growth and Development
3-4 days travel of zygote mitotic cell division begins
Fertilization
A. Pre-embryonic Stage
a. Zygote - fertilized ovum. Lifespan of zygote from fertilization to 2 months
b. Morula mulberry-like ball with 16 50 cells, 4 days free floating & multiplication
c. Blastocyst enlarging cells that forms a cavity that later becomes the embryo. covering of blastocys that later becomes placenta & trophoblast d. Implantation/ Nidation- occurs after fertilization 7 10 days.
Fertilization
B. Fetus
- 2 months to birth.
Signs of implantation: 1. slight pain 2. slight vaginal spotting - if with fertilization corpus luteum continues to function & become source of estrogen & progesterone while placenta is not developed.
Fertilization
3 processes of Implantation 1. Apposition 2. Adhesion 3. Invasion
Basalis (base) part of endometrium located under fetus where placenta is delivered Capsularies encapsulate the fetus Vera remaining portion of endometrium.
D. Chorionic Villi- 10 11th day, finger life projections 3 vessels= A unoxygenated blood V O2 blood A unoxygenated blood
b. Amniotic Fluid
*Function of Amniotic Fluid: 1. cushions fetus against sudden blows or trauma 2. facilitates musculo-skeletal development 3. maintains temp 4. prevent cord compression 5. help in delivery process
normal amt of amniotic fluid 500 to 1000cc
Purpose obtain a sample of amniotic fluid by inserting a needle through the abdomen into the amniotic sac; fluid is tested for: Genetic screening maternal serum alpha feto-protein (MSAFP) - Determination of fetal maturity primarily by evaluating factors indicative of lung maturity
test
Amnioscopy direct visualization or exam to an intact fetal membrane. Fern Test - determine if amniotic fluid has ruptured or not - blue paper turns green/grey - + ruptured amniotic fluid Nitrazine Paper Test - diff amniotic fluid & urine. - Paper turns yellow- urine. - Paper turns blue green/gray-(+) rupture of amn fluid.

7. Leopolds Maneuver Purpose: is done to determine the attitude, fetal presentation lie, presenting part, degree of descent, an estimate of the size, and number of fetuses, position, fetal back & fetal heart tone - use palm! Warm palm.
Prep mom:
Empty bladder Position of mom-supine
Procedure:
1st maneuver: place patient in supine position with
knees slightly flexed; put towel under head and right hip; with both hands palpate upper abdomen and fundus. Assess size, shape, movement and firmness of the part to determine presentation the back of the fetus ( to hear fetal heart sound) where the ball of the stethoscope is placed to determine FHT. Get V/S(before 2nd maneuver) PR to diff fundic souffl (FHR) & uterine souffl. Uterine souffl maternal H rate
Procedure:
3rd Maneuver: using the right hand, grasp the symphis pubis
Assess whether the presenting part is engaged in the pelvis Alert : if the head is engaged it will not be movable).
4th Maneuver: the Examiner changes the position by facing
the patients feet. With two hands, assess the descent of the presenting part by locating the cephalic prominence or brow. To determine attitude relationship of fetus to 1 another.
When the brow is on the same side as the back, the head is
extended.
When the brow is on the same side as the small parts, the

(1) Begin at the same time each day (usually in the morning,
after breakfast) and count each fetal movement, noting how long it takes to count 10 fetal movements (FMs)
Warning signs
a.) more then 1 hour to reach 10 movements b.) less then 10 movements in 12 hours(non-reactive- fetal distress) c.) longer time to reach 10 FMs than on previous days d.) movement are becoming weaker, less vigorous Movement alarm signals - < 3 FMs in 12 hours

Postmaturity pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH), diabetes warning signs noted during DFMC maternal history of smoking, inadequate nutrition
Procedure:
Done within 30 minutes wherein the mother is in semi-
fowlers position (w/ fetal monitor); external monitor is applied to document fetal activity; mother activates the mark button on the electronic monitor when she feels fetal movement.
if no FM after 40 minutes provide woman with a light snack or gently stimulate fetus through abdomen if no FM after 1 hour further testing may be indicated, such as a CST

representing a balanced interaction between the parasympathetic (decreases FHR) and sympathetic (increase FHR) nervous system; noted as an uneven line on the rhythm strip
Interpretation of results
Nonreactive result
Stated criteria for a reactive result are not met Could be indicative of a compromised fetus. Requires further evaluation with another
9. Health teachings
Nutrition do nutritional assessment daily food intake
High risk moms:
decrease CHON needs Vit B12 cyanocobalamin formation of folic acid needed for cell DNA & RBC formation.
increased metabolic rate utilization of nutrients protein sparing so it can be used for Growth of fetus Development of structures required for pregnancy including placenta, amniotic fluid, and tissue growth.
to maintain ideal body weight and meet energy requirement to activity level
calorie intake. Failure to meet caloric requirements can lead to ketosis as fat and protein are used for energy; ketosis has been associated with fetal damage.
Fetal tissue growth Maternal tissue growth including uterus and breasts Development of essential pregnancy structures Formation of red blood cells and plasma proteins * Inadequate protein intake has been associated with onset of pregnancy induces hypertension (PIH)
mature women since adolescents must supply protein for their own growth as well as protein t meet the pregnancy requirement
Lean meat, poultry, fish Eggs, cheese, milk Dried beans, lentils, nuts Whole grains * vegetarians must take note of the amino acid content of CHON foods consumed to ensure ingestion of sufficient quantities of all amino acids
buds Maintenance of mineralization of maternal bones and teeth Current research is : Demonstrating an association between adequate calcium intake and the prevention of pregnancy induce hypertension
prepregnancy daily requirement. 1600 mg/day is recommended for the adolescent. 10 mcg/day of vitamin D is required since it enhances absorption of both calcium and phosphorous
