DTR’s

occurs during the second stage, the women’s bladder and bowel muscles contract and relax; incontinence of urine and feces may occur

in pregnancy-induce hypertension, the phase before the pregnant woman experiences a seizure

a variation of hypertension of pregnancy named for the common symptoms that occur:  hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets

premature separation of the placenta

low implantation of the placenta (condition of pregnancy in which the placenta is implanted abnormally in the uterus

a condition of abnormal glucose metabolism that arises during pregnancy

an excessive amount of amniotic fluid (generally over 2000 mL)

 

intentional breaking of the amniotic sac with a sterile amniohook, Allis’ forcepts or amniotome to stimulate or augument labor

spontaneous rupture of membranes

artificial rupture of membranes

a disposable plastic hook (Amnihook) is used to perforate the amniotic sac

 

a decreased amount of amniotic fluid

 

is a glycoprotein produced by the fetal liver that reaches a peak in maternal serum between the 13th and 32nd week of pregnancy

labor that occurs before the end of week 37 of gestation

painless, erratic uterine contractions that occur toward the end of pregnancy.  They ready the cervix for labor, but the cervical dilation does not occur with them.

uterine flow, consisting of blood, fragments of deciduas, white blood cells, mucus, and some bacteria following childbirth

vaginal discharge consisting almost entirely of blood with only small particles of  deciduas and mucus, occurring from days 1 to 3 of the postpartal period

pink or brownish vaginal discharge beginning at about the 4th postpartal day

colorless or white vaginal discharge occurring about the 10th postpartal day

the relationship of the presenting part of the fetus to the level of the ischial spines

Stages of labor:  consist of latent, active and transition phases

Stage of labor:  is the period from full dilation and cervical effacement to birth of the infant;

Stage of Labor:  or the placental stage begins with the birth of
the infant and ends with the delivery of the placenta

Stage of Labor: 

a rhythmic tightening of the uterus that aids in achieving cervical dilation and effacement

the rate at which uterine contractions occur, measured by the time elapsed between the beginning of one contraction and the beginning of the next

surgical incision of the perineum to prevent tearing and to release pressure on the fetal head with birth

begun in the midline of the perineum

begun in the midline but directed laterally away from the rectum

an exercise for strengthening the pubococcygeal and levator ani muscles.  The patient should repeatedly and rapidly alternate contracting and relaxing the muscles for 10 seconds

one in which implantation occurs outside the uterine cavity

 

birth of a fetus by means of vacuum pressure

steel double-bladed instruments used to prevent pressure on the fetal head
