Prenatal Care: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Trimester Visits – Pregnancy – Maternity Nursing | @LevelUpRN
Hi, I'' m Meris, and in this video, I'' m mosting likely to be. speaking about what happens at OB/GYN gos to in the initial, second, and 3rd trimesters. I'' m going to. be following along utilizing our maternity flashcards. These are available on our website leveluprn.com..
And if you currently have a set of your own, I would absolutely invite you to comply with along.
with me. So allow'' s go in advance and leap right in with what happens at the first-trimester check out..
So I claim visit because generally there'' s just one. Nonetheless, it just depends upon when a person.
realizes that they may be expectant. So the initial see, the preliminary visit, should be.
done before 12 weeks of gestation.However, if that person
does come in and they ' re really early,. allow ' s claim 6 weeks, they ' ll possibly return again 4 weeks later on. But also for a lot of people, they. have simply the one.
Now, this is an actually large see for a whole lot of reasons. First is infant is also small. for us to use a Doppler to analyze the heart price. So instead, we have to do an ultrasound. That ' s. the only method to verify cardiac task at this point. So there will certainly be an ultrasound to assess.
that the fetus has a heart beat and what that price is. And after that moving forward, the heart price.
will be evaluated with a Doppler from the exterior. The other thing is that this is where a great deal.
of laboratories and analysis screening is performed. So on this card, you can see that there is a.
heading called labs.And on below, we
have a great deal of big ones. I desire to call your attention to.
CBC. Do we already have a problem with anemia? Do we currently have an infection? We need to know.
that. STI testing. In a great deal of states, this is necessary. So recognize with your state'' s regulations..
A PAP test. If my person has actually not had a PAP examination lately or is due for one, then we'' re going to. do it at this go to. Blood inputting. Blood typing, consisting of Rh element. This is very crucial..
And we will discuss that in a bit. And after that we'' re going to be testing for hepatitis.
B, or hepatitis B resistance, for HIV. And afterwards if your person is high risk, as in they may have.
had numerous losing the unborn babies or something along those lines, they might also have serial, suggesting in.
a row, a few HCG, which is the pregnancy hormone degrees drawn to be sure that the maternity appears.
to be developing appropriately.Also, maternal teaching will certainly be done, and we ' ll talk concerning that. in a later video clip.
And after that, up until 28 weeks- we have a line on below – but up until 28 weeks, these.
sees will certainly be month-to-month, so every four weeks. There'' s not a lot to see or do at these visits. in the very early days because baby is extremely little. So let'' s move on to the 2nd trimester. Currently, when you check out the second-trimester card, [. whoo-hoo-hoo?] There is a great deal of vibrant. red text on here.
And to me, that means I ought to actually know this card, and most likely want. to star and highlight this card due to the fact that it might be truly essential for me to understand. So,. from 14 to 18 weeks, throughout that time, MSASP, mother’s lotion alpha-fetoprotein testing. will be done. We ' ll discuss that in a later video'. However that is when that will certainly occur.If there. is an uncommon MSASP, then we can
progress to an amniocentesis. Again, we ' ll discuss that later on. And then gestational diabetes screening takes place at this very early time for people who are high threat,. as in they had gestational diabetes in a previous maternity. Possibly they were prediabetic prior to. obtaining expectant. Maybe they have a strong household history. We ' re mosting likely to check them a lot earlier. than everybody else. Now, from 18 to 22 weeks,
we have a whole lot. We will have an ultrasound. This. is frequently called a composition scan due to the fact that it is seeking problems in the fetal composition. So we ' re mosting likely to examine everything out with baby, see if we'have any sort of hereditary heart. flaws, neurological issues, anything that can be seen on the ultrasound. Fundal elevation. assessment will certainly begin at this moment. This is really vital.
Fundus height indicates I ' m determining from. the pubic symphysis right approximately the fundus. The fundus is the upper part of the womb. And we ' re mosting likely to gauge this in centimeters. The gestational age of the pregnancy should. associate to the fundal height in centimeters plus or minus two weeks, starting around 18 weeks,
. so from 18 to 32 weeks.Let ' s say I ' m 24 weeks expectant. My fundal measurement ought to be about 24.
centimeters.
Anything dramatically much less or more is cause for more examination. And afterwards, from 22.
to 24 weeks, this is where a routine gestational diabetes mellitus testing will occur. This is going.
to be a one-hour oral sugar resistance examination. And afterwards comply with up with a three-hour if.
required. We ' ll discuss that in a later video. And for new pregnancy, it ' s really typically. there will be an ultrasound done, a transvaginal ultrasound, to evaluate the length of the cervix
. This can aid us to identify risk elements for preterm labor. Yet as lengthy as that is regular. and the person does not have preterm labor this maternity, that won ' t be duplicated in the future.
Currently, let ' s talk concerning the 3rd trimester. Once again, we can see'a great deal of strong red message on here. So. allow ' s experience it. 28 weeks. If the patient is Rh-negative, which we know because
we.'did the blood type at the first see, if our individual is Rh-negative
, they will obtain. RhoGAM, or the RhoGAM is the anti-D antibody.
So this is going to assist to reduce that.That. will certainly be administered to Rh-negative clients at 28 weeks. From this point on, all sees are going. to be every 2 weeks. So now, 28 weeks.
We ' re going to be seen at 30 weeks, and then 32 and 35. So after that, 30 to 32 weeks, this is going to be substantial education for your clients. At 30 weeks, your.
individual should be doing kick counts. They are what they seem like. It'' s counting the number of.
times the infant kicks. This is necessary. It helps us to assess the fetal wellness. To ensure that'' s going. to be something that we desire to start at 30 weeks. Additionally, at thirty weeks, we can provide TDaP vaccination.
to the expecting person. To ensure that'' s the tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis.
vaccine. If provided in the 3rd trimester, it does impart some protection to the baby. And.
then, NSTs. Nonstress examination might be executed at this time if they are shown from 35 to 37.
weeks. Really, truly vital. Listen to me. 35 to 37 weeks, we are going to do a genital.
and rectal swab for team B, beta hemolytic strep.So you will hear this just called team B. strep. And it ' s a swab of the vagina and anus. This is a microorganisms that some people just lug. Yet if the individual has it, we require
to treat them at the time of distribution. And after that beginning at 36. weeks, check outs with the supplier will certainly be regular. So 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, and past up until the client. delivers, just relying on when that infant comes.
So I hope that review kind of comprehensively. of what takes place throughout the 3 trimesters of prenatal treatment was useful. We ' re mosting likely to chat. a great deal even more about what all of'those things are and what they mean in future videos.So make sure. that you subscribe to ensure that you ' re the initial to understand when they are to life on our channel.
