When to contact a healthcare provider during the First
trimester
Ans: Spotting or bleeding (miscarriage), painful urination
(infection), severe persistent vomiting (hyperemesis
gravidarum), fever >100F (37.7C infection), and lower
abdominal pain with diiness and accompanied by
shoulder pain (ruptured ectopic pregnancy)zz
When to contact a healthcare provider during the
Second trimester
Ans: Regular uterine contractions (preterm labor), pain in
calf, often increased with foot flexion (blood clot in deep
vein), sudden gush or leakage of fluid from vagina
(premature rupture of membranes), and absence of fetal
movement for more than 12 hours (possible fetal distress
or demise)

When to contact a healthcare provider during the Third
trimester
Ans: Sudden weight gain, periorbital or facial edema,
severe upper abdominal pain, or headache with visual
changes (gestational hypertension and/or preeclampsia),
and a decrease in fetal daily movement for more than 24
hours (possible demise) Any of the other warning signs
from the first and second trimesters.
Who and When do we do Nonstress Tests
Ans: Twice weekly for clients with diabetes and other
high-risk conditions, such as IUGR, preeclampsia, postterm
pregnancy, renal disease, and multifetal pregnancies.
What position is the woman placed in for a nonstress test
Ans: Left Lateral Recumbent Position
Biophysical Profile (BPP)
Pretest - Stuvia US
, 3
Ans: Includes ultrasound monitoring of fetal movements,
fetal tone, and fetal breathing and ultrasound assessment
of amniotic fluid volume with or without assessment of the
fetal heart rate.
Why is a BPP performed?
Ans: To identify infants who may be at risk of poor
pregnancy outcome, so that additional assessments of
well-being may be performed, or labor may be induced
or a cesarean section performed to expedite birth. The
objective is to reduce stillbirth and to detect hypoxia early
enough to allow delivery in time to avoid permanent fetal
damage resulting from fetal asphyxia.
Five components of the BPP score
Ans: Body movement, Fetal tone, Fetal breathing,
Amniotic fluid volume, NST
Cervical Changes
