(flutters), breast tenderness
Objective signs of pregnancy - ✔✔✔ - pregnancy tests (urine, serum, ultrasound), fetal heart tones
and fundal height
HCG - ✔✔✔ - human chorionic gonadotropin
Fetal heart tones can be heard beginning at - ✔✔✔ - 20 weeks of gestation
Fetal tachycardia - ✔✔✔ - HR over 160 for 10 min or more
Fetal bradycardia - ✔✔✔ - HR less than 120 for 10 min or more
Fundal height can first be palpated at - ✔✔✔ - 10-12 weeks gestation
Fundal height measurements correspond with gestational age from - ✔✔✔ - 16-36 weeks (16cm =
16 weeks)
Fundal height is measured from - ✔✔✔ - Top of symphysis pubis to top of fundus
