Nursing Care in Pregnancy

What happens throughout the pregnancy

Page 8: Emotional Aspects of Pregnancy Nutritional Needs in Pregnancy Educational Needs in Pregnancy

Initial Prenatal Visit• Generally recommended after 2nd missed

period• Begin with thorough history

• Chronic illnesses• Social history• Psychological needs

• Determine Estimated Due Date (EDD) or Estimated Date of Confinement (EDC)

• Present pregnancy~ LMP, presumptive signs, GTPAL

Page 9: Emotional Aspects of Pregnancy Nutritional Needs in Pregnancy Educational Needs in Pregnancy

• Complete physical examination• Assess pelvis for diagonal conjugate, and

adequacy of pelvis for vaginal delivery of average-sized baby

• Draw all prenatal labs• Begin all the prenatal education: books,

videos, etc.

Page 10: Emotional Aspects of Pregnancy Nutritional Needs in Pregnancy Educational Needs in Pregnancy

Nagele’s Rule for EDC

• Begin with LMP• Subtract 3 months• Add 7 days

Page 11: Emotional Aspects of Pregnancy Nutritional Needs in Pregnancy Educational Needs in Pregnancy

Let’s try it!!!• EDC• EDC• EDC

• LMP 1-05-13• LMP 3-25-13• LMP 10-10-13

GTPAL vs Gravida - Para

• Gravida= # of pregnancies

• Term deliveries= > 37 weeks-42 weeks

• Preterm deliveries= < 37 weeks(also Pt)

• Abortions= < 20 weeks

• Living children

• Gravida/Para = Pregnancy/Delivery

Page 13: Emotional Aspects of Pregnancy Nutritional Needs in Pregnancy Educational Needs in Pregnancy

Gravida and Para vs GTPAL

• Gravida= any pregnancy regardless of duration• Para= Birth after 20 weeks’ gestation, regardless

of whether the infant is born alive or dead• “When using the detailed system, GTPAL,

GRAVIDA keeps the same meaning, but the meaning of PARA changes because the detailed system counts each infant born rather than the number of pregnancies carried to viability” (Davidson et al, p.318, 2012). • Can view 10th edition on page 244

Page 14: Emotional Aspects of Pregnancy Nutritional Needs in Pregnancy Educational Needs in Pregnancy

Lab Tests• UA and culture• Blood: CBC, Type/Rh• VDRL/RPR/Serology• Toxoplasmosis• Rubella• Hepatitis B• HIV• Antibody Screening

Page 15: Emotional Aspects of Pregnancy Nutritional Needs in Pregnancy Educational Needs in Pregnancy

• 10-12 wks: Chorionic Villi Sampling• 14-16 wks: Amniocentesis• 15-20 wks: MSAFP (see Fetal Assessment Wksht)• 24-28 wks: Blood sugar 3 hr GTT• 36 wks + : Beta strep vaginal culture

Website for Group B Beta Strep~ CDC pamphlet• Hgb & Hct repeated prn throughout pg. • Urine: glucose and protein at every prenatal

visit. Should be 1st morning specimen collected and refrigerated, but can also be fresh sample upon arrival at office.

Page 16: Emotional Aspects of Pregnancy Nutritional Needs in Pregnancy Educational Needs in Pregnancy

Other diagnostic testing...

• Pap test (hold her over until postpartum)

• Ultrasound for dates/anomalies

Page 17: Emotional Aspects of Pregnancy Nutritional Needs in Pregnancy Educational Needs in Pregnancy

Educational Needs~begins at 1st prenatal visit but continues throughout pregnancy

• rest and sleep• exercise• employment• recreation• travel• use of

drugs &alcohol

• immunizations• skin and breast care• clothing• Dental health• nutrition

Page 18: Emotional Aspects of Pregnancy Nutritional Needs in Pregnancy Educational Needs in Pregnancy

Prenatal Exercises & Sexual Activity during Pregnancy• Website on prenatal exercises• Refer to pp. 293-295 (10th ed) for

suggested exercises• Be open to discussion during

prenatal visits re: sexual activity.See Teaching Plan p. 296; 10th ed.

• Changes in desire r/t nausea, fatigue in 1st trimester, desire in 2nd trimester, desire in 3rd trimester r/t backache, size of baby

Suggest alternative methods to express intimacy

Stress importance of open communication between partners

Page 19: Emotional Aspects of Pregnancy Nutritional Needs in Pregnancy Educational Needs in Pregnancy

WARNING SIGNS~assessed at each prenatal visit

• vaginal bleeding• edema of face and in fingers• severe continuous headache• dim or blurred vision/spots/flashes• abdominal pain/persistant vomiting• fever and chills• gush of fluid from vagina• dysuria, backache, flank pain

Page 20: Emotional Aspects of Pregnancy Nutritional Needs in Pregnancy Educational Needs in Pregnancy

Subsequent prenatal visits

• Generally recommend monthly visits for low-risk mothers through 32 weeks gestation• Assess weight, BP, urine, sx of complications,

FHR, McDonald’s Rule

• 32-36 weeks~ bi-monthly• 36 weeks-delivery~ weekly

Maternal and Fetal Nutrition

Page 22: Emotional Aspects of Pregnancy Nutritional Needs in Pregnancy Educational Needs in Pregnancy

Why Pregnancy= more need for nutrients?

• Uterine-placental-fetal unit

• Maternal blood volume

• Mammary changes

• RDA = 300 kcal more / day than prepregnant dietary needs

• Look at Teaching plan on p.296 (10th ed)

Page 23: Emotional Aspects of Pregnancy Nutritional Needs in Pregnancy Educational Needs in Pregnancy

Weight Gain over entire pregnancy

• Underweight - 28 – 40 lbs.• Normal weight - 25 – 35 lbs.• Overweight - 15 – 25 lbs.• Obese - 15 lbs.• Adolescents - high end of range• Short women – low end of range• Twins - ~44 lbs. Has best outcome

Page 25: Emotional Aspects of Pregnancy Nutritional Needs in Pregnancy Educational Needs in Pregnancy

Recommended Weight Gain Throughout Pregnancy~ know this!

• 1st Trimester~ 3.5-5 lbs (1.6-2.3kg)

• 2nd & 3rd trimesters~1 lb/week (0.5 kg/wk)

Page 26: Emotional Aspects of Pregnancy Nutritional Needs in Pregnancy Educational Needs in Pregnancy

PROTEIN~60g/day

• Fetal growth• Placental growth• Amniotic fluid production• Uterine muscle growth• Blood production

Page 27: Emotional Aspects of Pregnancy Nutritional Needs in Pregnancy Educational Needs in Pregnancy

IRON (27 mg/day)• Facilitates blood cell production• If mom is anemic, there is risk of lethargy in

mom, preterm births, intolerance to blood loss at delivery

• Guidelines for taking Iron (e.g.. Ferrous Sulfate FeSO4 , FerroSequels, Ferrous Fumarate)-- Take on an empty stomach with OJ-- Do NOT take with milk, coffee, tea-- Keep away from CHILDREN-- risk of toxic ingestion-- Instruct mom on possible stool changes: black and tarry, risk of constipation

Page 28: Emotional Aspects of Pregnancy Nutritional Needs in Pregnancy Educational Needs in Pregnancy

WATER

• Necessary for expansion of blood volume& to risk of constipation

• Need to drink 6 – 8 glasses/day

• Limit caffeine intake

• Avoid artificial sweeteners in beverages

Page 29: Emotional Aspects of Pregnancy Nutritional Needs in Pregnancy Educational Needs in Pregnancy

SODIUM

• Needed due to expanding circulating fluid volume

• Need to balance ECF concentration due to GFR

• Don’t restrict because Sodium is essential to fluid & electrolyte balance

• Don’t overdue as it may lead to excessive fluid retention (edema of face & hands)

Page 30: Emotional Aspects of Pregnancy Nutritional Needs in Pregnancy Educational Needs in Pregnancy

CALCIUM(1000mg)

• Fosters fetal calcification of bones• If intake not adequate, demineralization of

maternal bones occurs• 4 cups of milk or its equivalent• Assess cultural diet as some cultures do not

advocate milk & dairy products• Review alternative resources of

Calcium as green leafy vegetables, and Ca+++ fortified foods

Page 31: Emotional Aspects of Pregnancy Nutritional Needs in Pregnancy Educational Needs in Pregnancy

FAT-SOLUBLE VITAMINS• A D E K• In excess amounts, they are toxic• Necessary for tooth budding and bone growth• Excellent source of Vitamin D:fortified milk

& sunlight which produces D on our skin• May be taken in water-miscible form if not

able to metabolize properly

Page 32: Emotional Aspects of Pregnancy Nutritional Needs in Pregnancy Educational Needs in Pregnancy

ZINC

• Contained in enzymes of metabolic pathways

• Best resources~ meats, shellfish, poultry, OR whole grains and legumes

• Iron and folic acid inhibit absorption

Page 33: Emotional Aspects of Pregnancy Nutritional Needs in Pregnancy Educational Needs in Pregnancy

LACTATION

• RDA: 500 kcal more than non-pregnant woman

• Minimum of 1800 kcal/day• Calcium and Iron intake• Smoking: impairs milk production• Alcohol in excess impairs milk ejection reflex• Caffeine: accumulated in infant through breastmilk

will be manifested as a wakeful and active baby!

Page 34: Emotional Aspects of Pregnancy Nutritional Needs in Pregnancy Educational Needs in Pregnancy

FOLIC ACID

• Low levels correlate with neural tube defects.

• Critical to begin increasing Folic Acid intake at least 3 months before conception!

• Supplemental Folic Acid only begun in 1992, Now a big March of Dimes initiative

• Acceptable Folic Acid levels are most critical in the 1st 6 wks of pregnancy and should be continued throughout pregnancy.

Page 35: Emotional Aspects of Pregnancy Nutritional Needs in Pregnancy Educational Needs in Pregnancy

Factors affecting nutrition

• Eating disorders

• Lactase deficiency (lactose intolerance)

• Pica~Pica is the practice of eating non-edible substances(clay, dirt, laundry starch, etc.). • It is especially important for the nurse to assess the

pregnant patient who has lower hemoglobin levels as she may be replacing low-nutrient products for nutritious foods.

Page 36: Emotional Aspects of Pregnancy Nutritional Needs in Pregnancy Educational Needs in Pregnancy

Cultural Spiritual influences

• MANY cultures have “hot/cold” theories on nutrition and pregnancy is often viewed as a “hot” time that requires foods that fall under the “cold” categories. These foods generally include dairy foods. Be sure to assess carefully.

• Vegetarians still need adequate proteins and need to be taught of good resources.

Page 37: Emotional Aspects of Pregnancy Nutritional Needs in Pregnancy Educational Needs in Pregnancy

Vegetarians~ websiteTypes• Lacto-ovovegetarians~mild, dairy products, &

eggs• Lactovegetarians~ include dairy, but no eggs• Vegans~strict vegetarians who eat no food from

any animal sources. These persons need to plan how to get adequate complete proteins and sufficient calories. Examples of complete proteins: beans & rice, or

peanut butter on whole grain bread, whole grain cereal with soy milk.

Page 38: Emotional Aspects of Pregnancy Nutritional Needs in Pregnancy Educational Needs in Pregnancy

Psychosocial factors~role of food and serving food as a maternal role

• Socioeconomic factors (see slide on WIC)

• Education~ it is essential for nurses to integrate teaching on healthy eating in pregnancy from the first prenatal visit.

• Psychological Factors~ food may be used as a substitute for emotions OR may be avoided if patient is depressed.

Page 39: Emotional Aspects of Pregnancy Nutritional Needs in Pregnancy Educational Needs in Pregnancy

Common Discomforts of Pregnancy

• Refer to pp.282-288 (10th ed) in Davidson et al for discussion of many general discomforts of pregnancy and how to alleviate them.

• The following discussion focuses on those related to nutrition in pregnancy and discomforts associated with it.
