Define: Preterm born before completion of 37 weeks of gestation, regardless of of birth weight.
Define: Term Born btwn the beginning of the 38th week and the end of the 42nd week of gestation.
Define:Postterm Born after the 42nd week of gestation.
define: Gravidity Gravidity= the number of pregnancies
GTPAL pregnancies, term, preterm, abortions, living children
Parity= the number of pregnancies in which the fetus has reached viability (not the number of fetuses)
viability capacity to live outside the uterus (22-24 since lmp)

Describe Pre-embryonic development: first 14 days- cell multiplication begins as zygote moves through fallopian tubes rapid mitotic division forms solid ball of 12-16 cells (morula) -morula enters the uterus forms central cavity -inner solid mass= blastocyst -outer cell layer=trophob
Describe Embryonic development: From day 15 until 8 weeks most critical time of development at the end of 8 wks all organ systems and external structures are present
chorion chorion= outer memberane (trophoblast)
amnion amnion=inner membrane (blastocyst)
umbilical cord during 3rd week, blood vessels develop during 5th week embryo curves in on itself from both ends so that the stalk is attached to its ventral side -two arteries, one vein
Placenta -begins to form at implantation -trophoblast invades the decidua basalis -burrows into maternal blood vessels -divided into sections- cotyledons -chorionic villi project from cotyledons and from fetal blood vessels
Placental functions: 1.hCG 2.hPL 3.Progesterone 4.Estrogen
Placental functions: Metabolic Metabolic – produces and stores glycogen, cholesterol and fatty acids for fetal use and hormone production; also numerous enzymes essential for fetoplacental transfer
Placental functions: Transport actively controls transfer of a wide range of substances by simple diffusion, facilitated transport, active transport and hydrostatic and osmotic pressure

Active phase (stage 1) a woman's anxiety tends to increase as she senses the intensification of contractions and pain. During this phase the cervix dilates from about 3-4cm to 8cm
Transition phase (stage 1) Woman may show significant anxiety, restlessness. Frequent changing of position inner directed Contractions have freq of 2 minutes duration of 60-90 sec and strong intensity Cervical dialation 8-10cm
transition phase (stage 1) More characteristics: increasing bloody show hyperventilation generalized discomfort increased need for partner's support restlessness apprehension & irritability hiccuping, belching, nausea, vomiting increasing rectal pressure and urge to bear down
Second stage of labor: Begins with complete cervical dilation and ends with the birth of the infant. Usually completed within 2 hrs.
Positional changes of the fetus: 1. Flexion 2. Internal rotation 3. Extension 4. Restitution 5. External rotation 6. Expulsion
Third stage of labor: Placental separation & placental delivery
Fourth stage of labor: This is the time from 1-4 hours ofter birth, during which physiologic readjustment of the mother's body begins. The fundus is usually midway btwn the symphysis pubis and umbilicus.
