Diagnosis of Pregnancy

Pelvic exam
Transvaginal ultrasonography – predicts viability of early pregnancies
Gestational sac seen at 5 weeks or hCG level of 1500 IU/L
Estimating Gestational Age
Naegele’s rule – used to find estimated date of confinement
First day of last menstrual period – 3 months + 1 year and 1 week
Ex. October 21, 2014 -> July 27, 2015 - GA would be 35 weeks
Ultrasound between 14-20 weeks
Used if last menstrual period is unknown or if patient has irregular cycles
Physical Examination

Heart and lungs – preexisting conditions
Thyroid – hypo/hyperthyroidism
Breasts – masses
Nipple abnormalities that would affect latching
Pelvis
Cervix
Anomalies, condylomata, neoplasia, infection
Consistency, length, motion tenderness
Uterus
Size, position, contour
Masses such as fibroids
Adnexa
Masses
Bony pelvis
Diagonal conjugate
Ischial spines

Arch of pubic symphysis
Ultrasound
Crown rump length at 7-10 weeks

Urine test

Diagnosed with a urine culture >100,000 per milliliter
Protein level – baseline
Culture and Infections
Chlamydia and Gonorrhea (high risk patients)
<25 years of age with past history or evidence of STD, new sexual partner within 3 months, or multiple sexual partners
Tuberculosis
PPD testing done in high risk areas
Patient Education General Information
Educational resources
Warning signs
Infection (fever, chills, dysuria, hematuria)
Threatened pregnancy loss (bleeding, cramping, passage of tissue)
OTC medications
Use of acetaminophen over NSAIDS
Weight gain
<19.8 BMI 30-40 lb
19.8-26 BMI 25-35 lb
26.1-29 BMI 15-25 lb
Obese 15 lb
Twins 40 lb or 10-15 lb more than single gestation
First 2 trimesters are just maternal changes
Fetal growth is most rapid in the third trimester
Weight gain should occur by 20-22 weeks
Excess weight gain
Increased risk of preterm delivery, low birth weight, macrosomia
Diet
300kcal above baseline
(Optimal body weight in kg * 35kcal) + 300 kcal
Vitamins – not necessary if patient has a balanced diet
Folate is the exception – 800-1,000 mg
Vitamin B12 and folate
Hemoglobinopathy, antiseizure medication, neural tube defects
Vitamin D
Most women have low levels
Minerals – supplementation is not needed in healthy women
Iron is the exception, requirement of 1g
Can supplement with 30 mg
Iron deficient require 60-120 mg
Also require 15 mg zinc and 2mg copper

Seafood – limit to two servings per week of canned tuna, salmon, or shrimp
Avoid fish on higher tier of food chain
Exercise – encouraged ≥ 30 minutes a day
Low impact
Deep breathing may be difficult
Stop if fatigued or dizzy
Heartburn – enlarging uterus displaces stomach above esophageal sphincter
Constipation, diarrhea, gas – progesterone relaxes intestinal smooth muscle
