21. Leopold’s Maneuver Four-part process Determine the position of the baby in utero Determine the expected presentation during labor and delivery

22. Preparation Woman is supine, head slightly elevated and knees slightly flexed Place a small rolled towel under her right hip If the doctor is R handed, stand at the woman’s R side facing her for the first 3 steps, then turn and face her feet for the last step (L handed, left side).

23. First Maneuver What part is in the fundus? Facing the mother, palpate the fundus with both hands Assess for shape, size, consistency and mobility Fetal head: firm, hard, and round Moves independently of the rest Detectable by ballotement Buttocks/breech: softer and has bony prominences Moves with the rest of the form

24. Fundal Palpation

25. Second Maneuver Determine position of the back. Still facing the mother, place both palms on the abdomen Hold R hand still and with deep but gentle pressure, use L hand to feel for the firm, smooth back Repeat using opposite hands Once located the back, confirm findings by palpating the fetal extremities on the opposite side (“lumpy”)

26. Lateral Palpation

27. Third Maneuver Determine what part is lying above the inlet. Gently grasp just above symphisis pubis with the thumb and fingers of the R hand Confirm presenting part (opposite of what’s in the fundus) Head will feel firm Buttocks will feel softer and irregular If it’s not engaged, it may be gently pushed back and forth Proceed to the 4th step if it’s not engaged…

28. Pawlik’s maneuver (gribs)

29. Fourth Maneuver Flexed/Deflexed/Extended? Turn to face the woman’s feet Move fingers of both hands gently down the sides of the abdomen towards the pubis Palpate for the cephalic prominence (vertex) Prominence on the same side as the small parts suggests that the head is flexed (optimum) Prominence on the same side as the back suggests that the head is extended

30. Pelvic palpation

31. Abdominal gribs

32. Pregnancy and the mouth • Hypertrophy of the gums • Increased vascularity • Changes in salivary composition • Increased plaque deposition • Exposure to stomach acids (1st trimester) • Loosening of teeth (3rd trimester)

33. The mouth • Angular cheilitis • B vitamin deficiency • Fungal infections • Over-biting

34. “Gingivitis of pregnancy”

35. The mouth • Mild aphthous ulcer (AKA canker sore) • Viral, bacterial • Stress • Underlying immune disease if frequent
