1. birth rate: number of live births per 1000 people
2. fetal death: death in utero at >20 weeks
3. perinatal mortality: both neonatal and fetal deaths per 1000 live births
4. neonatal mortality: number of deaths of infants less than 28 days of age per 1000 births
5. infant mortality rate: number of infant deaths <1 year of age per 1000 live births in a given population
6. maternal mortality: number of deaths from any cause during the pregnancy cycle (including 42-day
postpartum period) per 100,000 live births; excludes external causes such as accidents, homicides, suicides
7. estrogen: development of breasts, widening of hips, maturation of ovarian follicles, proliferation of endometri-
um, inhibits FSH and LH production; high rate right before ovulation; thin, elastic cervical mucus
8. progesterone: secreted by corpus lutem; highest after ovulation, effects on breasts (prepares for lactation),
often called the hormone of pregnancy; responsible for maintaining the pregnancy*, secreted in the placenta, relaxed
the uterus (decreases contractility in order to avoid abortion)
9. implantation occurs: 7-10 days after fertilization
10. pre-embryonic stage: first 14 days post conception
11. embryonic stage: day 15-8 weeks (3-4 weeks- tubular heart forms and begins to beat; 8 weeks all organs
formed)
12. 10-12 weeks: fetal heart heard
13. external sex organs seen: 16 weeks
14. mom feels movement: 18-20 weeks
15. baby can breath: 28 weeks
16. develop SC fat: 32 weeks
17. good chance of survival if born: 36 weeks
18. considered full term: 37 weeks
19. presumptive or subjective signs of pregnancy: symptoms the woman experiences and
reports; amenorrhea, N/V, fatigue, breast sensitivity, urinary frequency, quickening (feeling fetal movement)
20. probable or objective signs of pregnancy: signs perceived by the examiner*, may have
other causes other then pregnancy;Chadwick's sign (blue cervix), Goodell's sign (softening of the cervix), uterine
enlargement, Braxton-Hick's ctx, ballottment (feeling fetal movement when pushing on belly), positive pregnancy test,
Hegar's sign (softening of the isthmus of the uterus)
21. positive or diagnostic signs of pregnacy: signs perceived by examiner, can be caused only by
pregnancy; fetal heartbeat, palpation of fetal parts by practitioner, visualization of fetus by ultrasound
22. quickening for the primagravida woman: usually felt between 18-20 weeks

23. quickening for the multigravida woman: usually felt at 16 weeks
24. fetal movement can be palpated by the examiner: 20 weeks
25. Nagele's rule: to determine due date, subtract 3 months and add 7 days to the LMP
26. McDonald's rule: measurement in centimeters from symphysis pubis to uterine fundus
height equals weeks gestation between 22- 34 weeks
*need further testing if off by 3
27. gravida: number of pregnancies a woman has had, includes present pregnancy
28. para: number of births she has had after 20 weeks, living or not; twins count as 1 birth
29. GTPAL: G: gravida (number of pregnancies)
T: number of term babies, born 37-40 weeks
P: number of preterm infants, born after 20 but before 37

32. lab tests at 15-20 weeks: quad screen (NTD, trisomy defects)
33. lab tests at 28 weeks: indirect Coomb's if Rh-, GTT for GDM (GCT if positive), follow up H&H
34. lab tests at 35-37 weeks: GBBS culture (group B beta strep test); baby can get meningitis and go septic
if not treated
35. maternal weight gain for an underweight woman: 28-40 pounds
36. maternal weight gain for an obese woman: 15 pounds
37. maternal weight gain for an overweight woman: 15-25 pounds
