Antepartum exercises - (ANSWERS)safe, productive, and recommended during the antepartum
period such as swimming, brisk walking, indoor stationary cycling, step or elliptical machines,
and low-impact aerobics (taught by a certified aerobics instructor).
Ballottement - (ANSWERS)a sharp upward pushing against the uterine wall with a finger
inserted into the vagina for diagnosing pregnancy by feeling the return impact of the displaced
fetus
Bartholomew's Rule - (ANSWERS)calculates the estimated age of gestation (aog) of a fetus
depending on the height of the fundus. It does not use a numerical height value to compute
gestational age, but landmarks.
12 weeks - age of gestation - (ANSWERS)fundus is at the symphysis pubis
16 weeks - age of gestation - (ANSWERS)fundus is midway between the symphysis pubis and
the umbilicus
20 weeks - age of gestation - (ANSWERS)fundus is at the umbilicus
32 weeks - age of gestation - (ANSWERS)fundus is at the xiphoid process
Crowning - (ANSWERS)the baby's head starts to emerge bit by bit during each contraction
Crowning - (ANSWERS)occurs during the second stage of labor. (A contraction is when the
uterine muscle tightens and relaxes to help your baby pass from the uterus into the birth canal.)

of the head has entered the pelvis
Fetal Heart Tone/Rate - (ANSWERS)normally ranges from 120 to 160 beats per minute (bpm) in
the in utero period. It is measurable sonographically from around 6 weeks and the normal range
varies during gestation, increasing to around 170 bpm at 10 weeks and decreasing from then to
around 130 bpm at term.
Fingerbreadths - (ANSWERS)the breadth of a finger: approximately 3/4 inch (2 centimeters).

2) evaluation of the fetal back and extremities;
3) palpation of the presenting part above the symphysis;
4) determination of the direction and degree of flexion of the head.
Lie - (ANSWERS)it refers to the relationship between the long axis of the fetus with the long axis
of the mother
Longitudinal lie - (ANSWERS)a situation in which the long axis of the fetus is parallel to that of
the mother with either a cephalic or breech presentation.
Transverse lie - (ANSWERS)the fetus is positioned horizontally across the uterus, rather than
vertically wherein baby's back might be positioned: Down, with the back facing the birth canal.
With one shoulder pointing toward the birth canal.
Maneuver - (ANSWERS)carefully guide or manipulate (someone or something) in order to
