Gynecoid - ANSW-The classic female pelvis with rounded anterior and posterior segments. This type is
most favorable for childbirth.

Sunnyside up
Platypelloid - ANSW-has a shortened anteroposterior diameter and a flat, transverse oval shape.
Unfavorable for vaginal birth. Always C-secti

Physiological Changes in Pregnancy
T OR F: Uterus - ANSW-T: The Uterus weighs about 60g and has a capacity of about 10 mL; At term the
uterus weighs about 1000g and has the capacity of 5000mL, enough to house the term fetus, placenta
and amniotic fluid.
Respiratory system - ANSW-Oxygen consumption increases by 15% during pregnancy.
Cardiovascular System - ANSW-The blood volume gradually increases (hypervolemia) to about 45%
greater than that prepregnant state by 32 to 34, at which time it levels off declines slightly.
Symptoms of supine hypotension syndrome include? - ANSW--faintness, lightheadedness, dizziness and
agitation
Gastrointestinal System - ANSW-Increased salivary secretion (ptyalism) sometime affects taste and smell.
Skeletal - ANSW-A woman often has a "waddling" gait in the last few weeks of pregnancy because of a
slight separation of the symphysis (pelvic bone) pubis.
Nutritional requirements during pregnancy - ANSW-A calorie increase of about 340 cal/day in 2nd
trimester & 450 cal/day in 3rd trimester is recommended to provide for the growth of the fetus, placenta
amniotic fluid and maternal tissues.
Four nutrients that are especially important in pregnancy. - ANSW--Protein
-Calcium
-Iron
-Folic Acid
Iron - ANSW-Pregnancy causes a heavy demand for iron becuase the fetus must store an adequate
supply to meet the needs in the first 3 to 6 months after birth.
The DRI (daily recommended intake) is 30 mg/day for a pregnant women.
Vitamin B6 and Ginger - ANSW-Are Often recommended to relieve the common discomfort of nausea
during pregnancy.
