Chapter 1 - Antepartal Assessment and Care
• Antepartum is the time of pregnancy until the time of birth
• Trimesters of pregnancy
o First trimester: 0-12 weeks
o Second trimester: 13-28 weeks
o Third trimester: 29-40 weeks
• The average pregnancy lasts 280 days from the first day of the last menstrual period
(266 days from time of ovulation), 9 calendar months, 40 weeks
• Nagele’s Rule is to count back 3 months from the first day of the last menstrual
period and add 7 days
o November 20, add 7 days, -3 months = August 27
o December 14, add 7 days, -3 months = September 21
Phases of Pregnancy
• Antepartum: the time between conception and the onset of labor
• Intrapartum: period from the onset of true labor until the birth of the baby and placenta
• Postpartum: time from birth until the women’s body returns to prepregnant state.
Usually about 6 weeks
• True labor: contractions occurring at regular intervals that increase in frequency, duration,
and intensity. True labor contractions bring about progressive cervical dilation and
effacement
• False labor: occurs in the latter weeks of some pregnancies in which irregular
uterine contractions are felt, but the cervix is not affected
