Prenatal growth -germinal stage (fertilisation to 2
weeks) organism divides….rapid cell division, increasing complexity, …..implants in the uterus….forms the placenta and amniotic fluid.

-embyonic stage (2 to 12 weeks) major body systems and organs develop. critical stage of development.
-fetal stage (12 weeks to birth) increasing development and growth.

Human gestation = 266 days (9 months)
Naegle’s rule-to find out the -(EDD) estimated date of delivery-(EDB) estimated date of birth
Take the first day of the woman’s last normal menstrual period, add on 7 days and take off 3 months (or add on 9 months).

eg. LNMP 18 July 2003 18 +7 days=25 July + 9 months =April EDD or EDB= 25th April 2004

Hormones of pregnancy
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) or (HCG)
-secreted early in pregnancy, stimulates progesterone & oestrogen production by
the corpus luteum to maintain the the pregnancy until the placenta is developed to assume that function.
-the presence of HCG (hCG) in the urine is the basis for most commonly used pregnancy tests.
![Page 17: References Book of Readings. Nursing Practice 2015. .](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649cb45503460f94977eef/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Estrogen (oestrogen)- growth hormone produced by the ovaries,
corpus luteum and the placenta
-stimulates uterine development (growth of the decidua and myometrium) to provide a suitable environment for the fetus.
![Page 18: References Book of Readings. Nursing Practice 2015. .](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649cb45503460f94977eef/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
-stimulates development of the ductal system of the breast tissue in preparation for lactation (breastfeeding)
-contributes to water retention
-excreted in urine (oestriol) (when collected give an indication of the health of the pregnancy).

Progesterone -secretory hormone secreted by the
corpus luteum and the placenta. -maintains the pregnancy, maintains the
endometrium and stops spontaneous uterine contractility.
-relaxes smooth muscle fibres. (ureters, veins, arteries, uterus,
intestine…) …discomforts of pregnancy

Maternal nutrition“A woman’s nutritional status before and
during pregnancy can significantly influence her health and the health and that of her fetus.”
Ladewig, P., London, M., Olds, S. (1998) Maternal-Newborn nursing care . Fourth edition. Addison Wesley.
![Page 22: References Book of Readings. Nursing Practice 2015. .](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649cb45503460f94977eef/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Maternal nutrition
-important to eat a variety of foods-quality better than quantity-iron, folic acid, calcium -water intake
(review nutrition according to tutorial guidelines)
![Page 23: References Book of Readings. Nursing Practice 2015. .](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649cb45503460f94977eef/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Weight gain during pregnancy.Mother -uterus 1.0 kg -breasts 0.5 kg -blood volume 3.0 kg -fat and protein stores 3.0 kgFetus -average weight at birth 3.5 kg -amniotic fluid (1L+) 1.0 kg -placenta (average wgt) 0.5 kg Overall minimal weight gain = 12.5 kg
![Page 24: References Book of Readings. Nursing Practice 2015. .](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649cb45503460f94977eef/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Minimum recommended weight gain = 12.5 kg
![Page 25: References Book of Readings. Nursing Practice 2015. .](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649cb45503460f94977eef/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Referring to the previous chart most of the weight gained results from new tissue and fluid volume for the mother and fetus.
Weight gain during pregnancy needs to be assessed
in relation to: -the woman’ pre-pregnant weight -ideal weight for height and bone
structure

The placenta
-functions: -respiration: O2 and CO2-nutrition: water / glucose / electrolytes-excretion: CO2 / wastes, urea-secretion of hormones-develops progressively throughout the
pregnancy-

transfer)

![Page 35: References Book of Readings. Nursing Practice 2015. .](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649cb45503460f94977eef/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
The membranes (amnion and chorion)
-amnion: thin protective membrane that entirely surrounds the embryo.
-chorion: outside the amnion and surrounds the fetus.

Amniotic fluid-the fluid surrounding the embryo inside
the amnion.-clear straw coloured
-approximately 1500 mls.
-protects the fetus from trauma and temperature
changes-allows room for growth and movement
![Page 38: References Book of Readings. Nursing Practice 2015. .](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649cb45503460f94977eef/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
A pregnant women should contact her LMC at the routine times or as negotiated and with any of the following:
-vaginal bleeding -premature labour -rupture of the membranes -decreased fetal movements -severe headaches, visual blurring or “ spotting of vision”, swelling
![Page 39: References Book of Readings. Nursing Practice 2015. .](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649cb45503460f94977eef/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Fetal movement chart / Kick Chart
non-invasive assessment of fetal well being carried out by the mother.
Mother notes on the chart the time when she has felt 10 kicks each day (she starts counting at the same time each day eg 0700 hours).
-a pattern will emerge over a few days. If the pattern changes to very few or no
kicks late in the day contact her LMC
![Page 40: References Book of Readings. Nursing Practice 2015. .](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649cb45503460f94977eef/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Miscarriage
![Page 41: References Book of Readings. Nursing Practice 2015. .](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649cb45503460f94977eef/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Miscarriage -a miscarriage is a pregnancy that ends
spontaneously before 20 weeks gestation. (about 1 in 4 pregnancies ends in a miscarriage and 99% before 13 weeks).
It occurs basically because something went wrong during or soon after conception
![Page 42: References Book of Readings. Nursing Practice 2015. .](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649cb45503460f94977eef/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Reasons for a miscarriage include:
-chromosomal abnormality, poor implantation of the blastocyst, hormonal changes, changes in the uterus or cervix….
Typically a woman will notice some bleeding, some pain, other signs of pregnancy such as breast tenderness may disappear.
![Page 43: References Book of Readings. Nursing Practice 2015. .](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649cb45503460f94977eef/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
During the miscarriage the cervix opens, and the conceptus comes away from the uterine wall and passes out through the cervix.
A woman needs to be observed for the amount of blood lost, supported through any pain, and emotional support is necessary following the experience.
![Page 44: References Book of Readings. Nursing Practice 2015. .](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649cb45503460f94977eef/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
It is important to ensure that the uterus is emptied fully to avoid further bleeding and infection.
This may occur naturally or a dilatation and curratage (D&C) may be performed. Often an ultrasound is completed.
![Page 45: References Book of Readings. Nursing Practice 2015. .](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649cb45503460f94977eef/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Abortion-abortion is the common medical term for all
pregnancies that end before 20 weeks. (compare to miscarriage) take care when using these terms.
An abortion (termination of pregnancy) is purposeful evacuation of the uterus, most commonly and safest carried out before 12 weeks gestation.
New Zealand laws include (2 consultants, potential harm for mother or baby, women under 16 can sign consent forms…..)
