FIRST TRIMESTER: 1-3 MONTHS • Tender Breasts • Nausea • Weight increase
SECOND TRIMESTER: 4-6 MONTHS • Looks pregnant • Heart rate increases • Energy increases
THIRD TRIMESTER: 7-9 MONTHS • Skin stretches over abdomen • Slight contractions felt • Pressure on bladder • Fatigue, back pain, heart burn, and breathlessness
1ST STAGE • Head of fetus drops lower, easing pressure on mother’s lungs and abdomen • Mucus plug expelled • Uterine contractions stronger and more regular • Sac ruptures and fluid leaks out • Cervix begins to dilate (.5 in./hr) to 10 cm or 4in.
2ND STAGE • Begins after full dilation of cervix • Mother feels strong urge to push • Baby emerges from the birth canal
3RD STAGE • After the baby has been delivered, cutting the umbilical cord separates the baby from the placenta. • When the placenta has separated from the wall of the uterus, it is eased out of the vaginal opening.
DURING • Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) – a set of defects that affect a fetus that has been exposed to alcohol during pregnancy. • Gestational diabetes – diabetes during pregnancy.
BREECH BIRTH • Frank breech - the baby's bottom comes first, and his or her legs are flexed at the hip and extended at the knees (with feet near the ears). 65-70% of breech babies are in the frank breech position. • Complete breech - the baby's hips and knees are flexed so that the baby is sitting cross-legged, with feet beside the bottom. • Footling breech - one or both feet come first, with the bottom at a higher position. This is rare at term but relatively common with premature fetuses. • Kneeling breech - the baby is in a kneeling position, with one or both legs extended at the hips and flexed at the knees. This is extremely rare.
AFTER • Postpartum depression – depression that occurs after birth that can result from physical changes, emotional factors, and lifestyle influences.
