Teratogens: developing pregnancy from conception to end of. Primigravida: pregnancy divided into three trimesters each first pregnancy about 3 months long. Positive pregnancy test signals the presence of hcg (human chorionic gonadotropin- produced by chorionic villi) in maternal plasma/urine. Parity the number of pregnancies that have reach viability (the ability of the fetus to survive outside the uterus) (20-22 weeks gestation) Multipara two or more pregnancies: estimated date of delivery/confinement. Preeclampsia: high bp that pih in addition; proteinuria, weight gain, generalized edema. Thrombophlebitis/phlebothrombitis: blood clots form in the legs after childbirth caused by, stasis of blood- hormonal changes increased coagulability- ability to form a clot, phlebitis. Thromboembolism thrombus (clot) moves: will follow circulatory path until caught in smaller vessel, premature separation of the placenta from uterine wall causing painful bleeding compromises fetus.
