Reproductive tract (1) Uterus: from 50g-1100g Uterus: from 50g-1100g from <10ml – 5L from <10ml – 5L <2% % of cardiac output <2% % of cardiac output Isthmus uteri —— lower segment of the uterus Isthmus uteri —— lower segment of the uterus

Braxton Hicks contraction: sporadic, irregular, asymmetrical, and painless, low pressure, lasting < 30 sec Braxton Hicks contraction: sporadic, irregular, asymmetrical, and painless, low pressure, lasting < 30 sec Reproductive tract (2)

Characteristics of True and False Labor Regular Contractions Regular Contractions Stronger, longer, closer together Stronger, longer, closer together Bloody show often present Bloody show often present Cervix effaced and dilated Cervix effaced and dilated Head is fixed between contractions Head is fixed between contractions Sedation does not stop true labor Sedation does not stop true labor Irregular Irregular No change in contraction characteristics No change in contraction characteristics No show No show No cervical change No cervical change Head may be ballotable Head may be ballotable Sedation stops false labor Sedation stops false labor

Cardiovascular changes (2)  Heart rhythms and murmurs: soft, transient Caution: How to interpret these murmurs Caution: How to interpret these murmurs  Inferior vena cava syndrome: In the supine position, the inferior vena cava is compressed by the enlarged uterus, resulting in decreased cardiac output. Some women may have symptoms that include dizziness, light-headedness, and syncope.

1. Fetal membrane is composed of ______and______. 2. The prerequisites for successful implantation are________, _______ and ___________. 3. Placenta is composed of _______, _________and ___________. 4. Maternal-fetal-placenta unit is a concept usually used to describe the production of ________and can be used to evaluate the placental function.

True or false 1. Supplement of iron during pregnancy is primarily to prevent fetal anemia. 2. Because of the frequent incidence of glucosuria among pregnant patients, quantitative urine glucose measurements are not clinically useful in managing patients with diabetes, because they do not reflect blood glucose levels. 3. The left pyelonephritis has a higher incidence in pregnant women.

4.On chest x-ray, the heart appears to demonstrate cardiomegaly during pregnancy. 5. In the fetus, the blood circulating in the IVC enters the right atrium and mix well with the deoxygenated blood from SVC and then goes to the left atrium and supplies the head, etc.
