FHR at 8 weeks with doppler ultrasound
BP is decreased in pregnant women
XXY chromosome - Answer -can cause language problems, behavioral problems, weak
muscles but can grow up and live a healthy, normal life.

discomfort and headache.
UTI - Answer -burning upon urination
fetal demise - Answer -decreased or absent fetal movement
PROM - Answer -gush or leak of vaginal fluid, ruptured membranes

4= baby needs to be delivered asap
contraction stress test - Answer -a stress test used to evaluate the ability of the fetus to
tolerate the stress of labor and delivery
positive test= fetus CANT tolerate labor
negative test= fetus CAN tolerate labor

minute period
having accelerations= good
non-reactive= bad

CVS (chorionic villus sampling) - Answer -a prenatal test in which a sample of chorionic
villi is removed from the placenta for testing
transabdominal ultrasound - Answer -ultrasound technique performed through the
