ETIOLOGY OF BIRTH DEFECTS
Birth defects can arise in at least three ways.
1. The most commontype of structural fetal abnormality is a malformation—an intrinsicabnormality “programmed” in development, regardless of whether a precise genetic etiology is known.2. The second type is a deformation caused when a genetically normal fetus develops abnormally because of mechanical forces imposed by the uterine environment. An example is an otherwise normal limb that develops contractures because of prolonged oligohydramnios.3. The third type is a disruption, which is a more severe change in form or function that occurs when genetically normal tissue is modified as the result of a specific insult. An example is damage from an amnionic band causinga cephalocele or limb-reduction abnormality.

Prenatal Care – Introduction
• Prenatal care focuses on prevention
• Majority of pregnant gravidas will deliverwithout major complications
• Goal of prenatal care is to select gravidas atrisk for development of major complicationsand early prevention/intervention in order toaffect improved outcome
![Page 17: Dg. methods in obstetrics MUDr. Robin Malina Ph.D](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649db25503460f94aa11a2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Gestational Age
• Outcome in pregnancy is gestational age dependant
• Calculation of gestational age is made using a varietyof methods:
– Patient history– Initial pelvic exam/biochemical test of pregnancy– Fetal heart auscultation (10-11 or 18-19 weeks)– Quickening (16-20 weeks)– Serial fundal height measurement (at umbilicus - 20 weeks)– Ultrasound estimation of gestational age
• Dating (U.S.) best based upon MENSTRUALDATING (Last normal menstrual period to estimateddate of confinement 40 7-day weeks)
![Page 18: Dg. methods in obstetrics MUDr. Robin Malina Ph.D](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649db25503460f94aa11a2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Ultrasound Dating
• Ultrasound dating less accurate as gestational ageAdvances
• Early pregnancy - Crown Rump Length (CRL): CRL+ 6.5 approximates gestational age (+7 days)
• Mid pregnancy (12-28 weeks) - correlation betweenultrasound and menstrual dating is +10-14 days
• In late pregnancy, ultrasound accuracy as singleestimate of gestational age is not great (+21 days)
![Page 19: Dg. methods in obstetrics MUDr. Robin Malina Ph.D](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649db25503460f94aa11a2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Physical Exam - Fundal Height
• Fundal Height evaluation is reasonable estimate ofgestational age
• After 20 weeks gestation:– Gestational age in menstrual weeks roughly equivalent tocentimeters from superior aspect of symphysis pubis tofundal portion of uterus
– Inter-observer differences exist– Circumstances may alter measurement:• Multiple gestation• Oligohydramnios/Polyhydramnios• Uterine pathology
![Page 20: Dg. methods in obstetrics MUDr. Robin Malina Ph.D](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649db25503460f94aa11a2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Fetal Movement Testing
• Fetal movement positively associated with fetal wellbeingand negatively associated with intrauterine fetalDemise
• Average fetal movement varies with gestational age
• Maternal perception of fetal movement varies– In late pregnancy force of fetal movement is less thanearlier in gestation– Quickening first felt at 16-20 weeks
![Page 21: Dg. methods in obstetrics MUDr. Robin Malina Ph.D](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649db25503460f94aa11a2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Laboratory Tests - Prenatal Care
• Hemoglobin/Hematocrit
• Urinalysis/Urine Culture/Urine Dipstick
• Glucose testing
• Blood Type/Rh
• Serologic test for Syphilis
• N. Gonorrhea/Chlamydia
• Other tests
![Page 22: Dg. methods in obstetrics MUDr. Robin Malina Ph.D](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649db25503460f94aa11a2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Hemoglobin/Hematocrit (H/H)
• Normally red-cell mass increases in pregnancy andplasma volume increases (even more)
• Result of expansion is a measured decrease inhemoglobin/hematocrit - nadir of H/H at approx 28Weeks
• In U.S., H/H tested early in pregnancy, at 28 weeksand at or near term
• Anemia can be a screen for:– Maternal disease– Hemoglobinopathy– Anemia (Iron deficiency; Folate; B12)
![Page 23: Dg. methods in obstetrics MUDr. Robin Malina Ph.D](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649db25503460f94aa11a2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Urinalysis/Culture/Dipstick
• In U.S., urinalysis and dipstick generally done atintake (culture optional)• Dipstick for Proteinuria– Done each visit– If +, may indicate renal disease, preeclampsia, or infection• Dipstick for glucose - not reliable association with serum glucose• Cystitis and Pyelonephritis much more common in pregnancy - use low threshold for diagnosis
![Page 24: Dg. methods in obstetrics MUDr. Robin Malina Ph.D](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649db25503460f94aa11a2/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Blood Type/RH
• In U.S., Rh-negative blood is approximately10%-20%
• Typing done in case blood later needed
• Indirect antibody testing for antibodies to redcell antigens performed
• If fetus is at risk for disease, level ofmonitoring is increased
![Page 25: Dg. methods in obstetrics MUDr. Robin Malina Ph.D](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649db25503460f94aa11a2/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Infectious Disease Testing• In U.S., Gonorrhea, Syphilis, and Chlamydial cervical cultures obtained
• In U.S., most areas screen for HIV
– Immunoprophylaxis in labor and treatment antepartumlowers perinatal transmission
• Group B Streptococcus may be cultured or empirically treated in 36-37 weeks
![Page 26: Dg. methods in obstetrics MUDr. Robin Malina Ph.D](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649db25503460f94aa11a2/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Glucose Testing
• Gestational diabetes incidence is approximately5% of pregnant population
• Diabetes screen (24-28 weeks gestation)
• Glucose tolerance test diagnostic– 75 gram glucose load with fasting, 1 hr, 2 hr serum glucose
• Macrosomia is risk factor
![Page 27: Dg. methods in obstetrics MUDr. Robin Malina Ph.D](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649db25503460f94aa11a2/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Visit Interval - Pregnancy(Uncomplicated Patient)• Conception until 36 weeks gestational age - Every 4 weeks
• 36-40 weeks gestation - Every week
• High risk pregnancy may alter visit intervals
• Preterm labor risk may alter pelvic exam interval
• Post dates pregnancy - (Nonstress testing) - Twice a week
![Page 28: Dg. methods in obstetrics MUDr. Robin Malina Ph.D](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649db25503460f94aa11a2/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Other Testing
• Serum marker screening (Maternal serumalphafetoprotein, human chorionic gonadotropin, andestriol) usually offered to patients 16 weeks
• Patients at risk for fetal aneuploidy may receiveinvasive prenatal diagnosis (such as amniocentesis)
• In U.S., prenatal Rubella immunity testing performed
![Page 29: Dg. methods in obstetrics MUDr. Robin Malina Ph.D](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649db25503460f94aa11a2/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

![Page 34: Dg. methods in obstetrics MUDr. Robin Malina Ph.D](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649db25503460f94aa11a2/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
The First Trimester - NT• US measurement, 11-14w:
spine to skin • Fetal Medicine Foundation • Aneuploidy - a change in
extracellular matrix and potential for cardiac/lymphatic changes causing increased NT
• Congenital hearts, others
![Page 35: Dg. methods in obstetrics MUDr. Robin Malina Ph.D](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649db25503460f94aa11a2/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Symptoms to Evaluate During Pregnancy
• Bleeding• Decreased fetal movement• Swelling• Headache• Visual disturbance• Contractions• Leakage of fluid
![Page 36: Dg. methods in obstetrics MUDr. Robin Malina Ph.D](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649db25503460f94aa11a2/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Swelling (Edema)
• Edema is relatively common in pregnancy (80%+ inwarm climates or high salt consumption)
• Pathologic edema may be associated withpreeclampsia:
– >4 lb weight gain in one week– Sudden swelling of hands or face– Presence of other symptoms associated with preeclampsia
![Page 37: Dg. methods in obstetrics MUDr. Robin Malina Ph.D](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649db25503460f94aa11a2/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Decreased Fetal Movement• Decreased fetal movement may be lack of maternalperception of fetal movement• Intrauterine fetal compromise may be preceded bydecreased fetal movement• Probably a wise idea to address maternal perceptionof decreased fetal movement
Headache/Visual Disturbance• Headache and visual disturbance (double vision, photophobia, etc.) may be:– Preeclampsia– Migraine/Cluster headache– Other neurological conditions– Isolated event• Careful history may elucidate “normal” causes from “abnormal causes”• Headache/visual disturbance with hypertension should be considered preeclampsia until proven otherwise
![Page 38: Dg. methods in obstetrics MUDr. Robin Malina Ph.D](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649db25503460f94aa11a2/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Leakage of Fluid (“ROM”)
• Pregnancy normally associated with increasedamount of vaginal discharge
• Warning signs for discharges:
– Watery discharge = possible ROM– Green discharge = possible meconium– Itching discharge = possible vaginitis– Bloody discharge = cervicitis or serious causes ofvaginal bleeding
![Page 39: Dg. methods in obstetrics MUDr. Robin Malina Ph.D](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649db25503460f94aa11a2/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Leakage of Fluid (“ROM”)(2)
• If ruptured membranes suspected, exam can evaluate:
-Temesvary exam
– pH: Amniotic fluid typically with alkaline pH(>7.0)– Pooling or direct leakage: Fluid will directly leakout of cervix during Valsalva
![Page 40: Dg. methods in obstetrics MUDr. Robin Malina Ph.D](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649db25503460f94aa11a2/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Leakage of Fluid (“ROM”)(3)
• Prolonged rupture of amniotic membranes (>24hours) associated with increase in intrauterineInfection
• Preterm rupture of amniotic membranes associatedwith preterm labor and infection
• Term ROM associated with spontaneous labor in over90% of patients
![Page 41: Dg. methods in obstetrics MUDr. Robin Malina Ph.D](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649db25503460f94aa11a2/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Contractions
• Uterine contractions occur throughout pregnancy(4/hour in early third trimester)
• Frequency of contractions increases just prior to theonset of perceived labor
• Persistent contractions of closer than 15 minutesapart that do not resolve with simple bedrest or fluidsneed some sort of evaluation
• Cystitis often associated with uterine irritability
• Multiple pregnancy and polyhydramnios alsoassociated with irritability
![Page 42: Dg. methods in obstetrics MUDr. Robin Malina Ph.D](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649db25503460f94aa11a2/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Weight Gain in Pregnancy
• At term, approximate weight of blood volumeexpansion, fetus, uterus, and edema generally equalsapproximately 7 kg• Weight gain of 200-500 gm per week is advocated• Many suggest an additional weight at term to accountfor breast feeding fat reserve - total of approximately10 kg recommended• Excessive weight gain over 20-25 kg may increase riskof gestational diabetes and other complications
![Page 43: Dg. methods in obstetrics MUDr. Robin Malina Ph.D](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649db25503460f94aa11a2/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Blood Pressure• Blood pressure normally decreases to a nadir at midpregnancy
• Blood pressure then rises to early pregnancy levels by term
• Blood pressure should be taken in the right or left arm while the subject is sitting
![Page 44: Dg. methods in obstetrics MUDr. Robin Malina Ph.D](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649db25503460f94aa11a2/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

This procedure is designed to allow the fetus/infant to remain perfused by the placental circulation after being partially delivered so that life-saving treatment can be performed prior to complete delivery. EXIT procedures have been performed for more than 15 years. As reviewed by Hirose and colleagues(2004), EXIT was initially used to treat airway obstruction after
fetal surgery—FETO.
