    ULTRASOUND IN PREGNANCY WEB BOOK- frames version
    Valuable information for patients and physicians regarding ultrasound in pregnancy
    and infertility.

  • It is believed that the ceases functioning when the is about eight weeks old

  • By the time the is about 16 weeks old, the is about the same size as the ; then, they fuse forming the CHORIO-AMNIOTIC MEMBRANE

  • The GESTATIONAL SAC, also known as the BAG OF WATERS, is essentially everything inside of the (also known as the chorionic sac) during early or everything inside of the chorio-amniotic sac during later (i.e., after approximately 16 weeks menstrual age)

  • (Conception usually occurs around Day 14, or two weeks into the cycle.) Consequently, even though we can tell with substantial certainty when conception probably took place, we still give age from the last normal menstrual period

  • For example, if conception occurred 8 weeks before an ultrasound scan, we would say that the is 10 weeks old menstrual age

  • (remember, conception occurs approximately 2 weeks after the first day of the menstrual period.) Incidentally and interestingly, conception may not occur on the day of intercourse

  • By the time the reaches 12 weeks of age, we use measurement of the BIPARIETAL DIAMETER () to determine age

  • By sixteen weeks of age, almost everybody measures two other things, in addition to the, to determine fetal age

    fish oils and pregnancy and infants
    Summaries of the latest research concerning fish oils and pregnancy and infants.

  • Danish researchers report that women who consume fish or seafood once a week during the first 16 weeks of pregnancy have a 3.6 times lower risk of giving birth to a low birth weight (less than 2500 grams) or premature (born before 259 days) baby than do women who never consume fish or seafood

  • Their study involved 10 lactating women who between week 4 and 6 postpartum supplemented with either 200 mg of DHA per day or 200 mg of a corn/soy oil mixture (placebo oil)

  • At the end of the 2 weeks the DHA content of the milk from the DHA-supplemented mothers had increased by 28% while the DHA content in the milk from the mothers in the placebo group had decreased by 25%

  • In other words, after 2 weeks the DHA content in the milk from DHA-supplemented mothers was almost twice as high as in the milk from the mothers in the placebo group

  • One clinical trial found that women who supplemented with fish oil (1.5 grams eicosapentaenoic acid [EPA] and 1 gram docosahexaenoic acid [DHA] daily) from their 30th week of pregnancy extended the pregnancy by 4 days and gave birth to infants weighing an average of 100 grams more that infants born to mothers supplementing with placebos (olive oil)


    Group B Streptococcus Facts
    Offers a FAQ.

  • Group B strep disease in newborns usually occurs in the first week of life ('early- onset')

  • Babies can also get a slightly less serious 'late-onset' form of group B strep disease that develops a week to a few months after birth

  • A pregnant woman is at high risk if she: Has already had a baby with group B strep infection Has a urinary tract infection caused by group B strep Becomes colonized with group B strep late in pregnancy Develops a fever during labor Has rupture of membranes 18 hours or more before delivery Begins labor or has rupture of membranes before 37 weeks ('preterm') What complications can result from group B strep infection? Group B strep infection is fatal in about 20% of infected men and non-pregnant women and about 5% to 15% of infected newborns

  • Colonization with group B strep can be detected late in pregnancy (35-37 weeks' gestation) by a special test of secretions from the vagina and rectum

  • T 4 concentrations rise sharply between 6 and 12 weeks of gestation, stabilizing by mid-gestation

  • The rise in serum T 3 is more gradual, although it also stabilizes at approximately 20 weeks gestation.20 Once mid-gestation plateaus have been reached, serum T 4 and T 3 concentrations remain elevated throughout gestation, returning to normal shortly after delivery.21, 22, 23 Although the bound T 4 and T 3 are increased, the unbound, or free thyroid hormone concentrations generally remain within the normal range for nonpregnant women, although they tend to decrease by 10-15% in late pregnancy.24, 25, 26 However, variation has been reported in a large series in which decreases in mean serum free T 4 and T 3 concentrations were reported in an area of marginal iodine intake.27 Less than 0.05% of the circulating T 4 and less than 0.5% of the circulating T 3 is unbound

  • In a small study performed in the 1950's, three of five women had an elevated radioactive iodine thyroid uptake at 12 weeks of pregnancy.52 In a second study, 132 I, a short-lived isotope, was administered to 25 pregnant women and the 2-hour thyroid uptake measured at 12, 24, and 36 weeks' gestation as well as 1 and 6 weeks post partum


    ASM 15(4): Placenta Previa
    Research article, by Tariq Khashoggi, discussing the review of 96 cases of major
    degree placenta previa managed in Saudi Arabia between 1988 and 1991.

  • The management plan for these cases included routine obstetrical ultrasound for all pregnant women at 18 to 20 weeks' gestation

  • If the diagnosis of a major degree of placenta previa was confirmed by a repeat scan at 28 to 30 weeks, or earlier in cases with bleeding per vagina, the patients were confined to the hospital until delivery

  • An elective cesarean section delivery was aimed for at 37 completed weeks

  • Glucocorticoids (dexamethasone 25 mg in two divided doses over 12 hours) were used intramuscularly at a gestational age of 24 to 34 weeks

  • A majority of the patients (69%) were diagnosed between 25 and 34 weeks, while 21% were diagnosed at or after 35 weeks

  • In a majority of the cases (60.5%), the first bleeding episode was after 34 weeks and the mean gestational age at which the first bleeding episode occurred was approximately 35 weeks

  • The majority of women delivered between 35 to 38 weeks and only 6.3% were delivered after 40 weeks

  • The majority (80%) of the cases of GBS disease among newborns occur in the first week of life

  • GBS disease may also develop in infants one week to several months after birth

  • The test should be performed late in pregnancy, around 35 -37 weeks of gestation

  • What are a Mother's Risk Factors For Developing GBS Disease? * Positive culture for GBS colonization at 35-37 weeks * Having already had a baby who had a GBS infection * GBS bacteria in urine (bacteriuria, either with or with our symptoms) * Membrane rupture (having your "water break") more than 18 hours before delivery * Labor or membrane rupture before 37 weeks * Developing a fever during labor (higher than 100.4F) The baby's doctor and nurse should be told if the mother has any of the above risk factors

  • If a woman's labor begins or her membranes rupture before 37 weeks of pregnancy (before a culture is collected) she should be offered IV antibiotics

  • PREVENTION IS KEY!! In at least 90% of the births where the mother is properly tested and treated for GBS colonization, the babies are healthy, so remember to: * Ask your heath care professional to culture you for GBS between 35 -37 weeks * Discuss antibiotic treatment plans with your doctor * Tell your baby's doctor and nurse about your culture result before the baby is born

    Pregnancy and the Vegan Diet -- The Vegetarian Resource Group
    Vegetarian nutrition information.

  • A general trend is to have little weight gain for the first 12 weeks

  • Then, in the second and third trimesters, a weight gain of a pound a week is common

  • I found it easiest to drink extra calories and treated myself to a soy milk shake (soy milk blended with fruit and tofu or soy yogurt) in the evening for a few weeks when weight gain was low

  • It is safe to lose about 1/2 to 1 pound a week while breast-feeding but more rigorous dieting is not recommended

    "Awareness of Group B Streptococcus Infection During Pregnancy ...
    Offers information.

  • Medical research indicates that giving antibiotics through the vein to the mother during labor can greatly reduce the frequency of GBS infection in the baby immediately after birth or during the first week of life

  • The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that all pregnant women be screened for GBS bacteria between 35 and 37 weeks of pregnancy, (women who test positive should be offered antibiotic treatment during labor) and that all women who have risk factors PRIOR to being screened for GBS (for example, women who have preterm labor beginning prior to 37 completed weeks' gestation) are treated with IV antibiotics until their GBS status is established

  • They further state that is all women are screened at 35-37 weeks gestation and all GBS+ moms are treated with IV antibiotics in labor, more than 3/4 of all cases of GBS in the first week of life could be prevented
