part of birth canal)
Peritoneum Perineum
Menarche: when women start menstruation
Assume woman is going to
Normal Changes in PregnancyRespiratory changes: Diaphragm
displaced by uterus; Respiratory capacity changes with increased
respiratory rates and decreased minute volumesCardiovascular
changes Musculoskeletal changes
Dilation of the cervix: Uterine contractions become more regular
and last about 30-60 secondsDelivery of the infant Delivery of the
placenta
Para: number of children (live births)Gravida: number of
pregnanciesCrowning: Perineum will bulge significantly, and the top
of the infants head will appear at the vaginal opening Once it
starts, you stop transport and deliver it in ambulancePreeclampsia:
Pregnancy-induced hypertension that can develop after the 30th week
of gestation; S/S: headache, seeing spots, swelling in hands/feet
(edema), anxiety, high blood pressure (similar to S/S of
hypertension)Eclampsia: Seizure that occur as a result of
hypertension (mom is not breathing baby is not breathing) Left
