Understanding Fertility• Conception
– Involves the fertilization of a women’s egg by a man’s sperm– Each month a women’s ovaries release an egg• Disintegrates after 24 hours if not fertilized
– 3-4 days: The egg travels through the fallopian tubes– Millions of sperm but only a few reach the uterus– Sperm release an enzyme that softens egg
• Fraternal twins and identical twins

Infertility• Female infertility– One of two key causes• Tubal blockage (40%)• Failure to ovulate (40%)
– Blocked fallopian tubes are commonly caused by (PID)» Chlamydia or gonorrhea» Endometriosis
– Age, behavior, and exposure to toxic chemicals or radiation affect ovulation

Infertility
• Male infertility– Accounts for about 20% of infertile couples• Four main categories
– Hypothlamic pituitary disease– Congenital disorders– Testicular disease – Disorders of sperm transport

Pregnancy• 3 periods of about 3 months (13 week trimesters)• Tests
– Home pregnancy tests– Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG)– Can be used two weeks after fertilization
• Early signs and symptoms– Missed menstrual period– Slight bleeding– Nausea– Breast tenderness– Increased urination– Sleepiness, fatigue and emotional upset

Continuing Changes in the Women’s Body
• Uterus size– During the first 3 months, the uterus enlarges to about
three times its nonpregnant size– 4th month – large enough to make abdomen protrude– 7th-8th month – pushes up into the rib cage
• Breast changes– 8th week – Breasts may tingle or throb
• Muscles and ligaments loosen• Weight gain

Changes During the Later Stages of Pregnancy
• Increased needs placed on the mother’s lungs, heart, and kidney
• Preliminary contractions (Braxton hicks contractions)
• Lightening• Emotional responses to pregnancy

Fetal Development• First Trimester– Blastocyst – Fourth day• Arrives in uterus
– Embryo – End of second week• Inner cells divide into three layers• Endoderm– gut tube• Mesoderm– muscle, bone, blood, kidneys, and sex
glands• Ectoderm– skin, hair, and nervous tissue
– All major body structures are formed between 2nd and 9th week
– 2nd Month – Fetus

Fetal Development• Second Trimester– Fetus grows to about 14 inches and 1.5 pounds
• Third Trimester– Fetus gains protective fat layers, respiratory and
digestive organs develop

Diagnosing Fetal Abnormalities• Ultrasonography (Ultrasound)
– High frequency sound waves• Amniocentesis
– Fluid removal from the uterus• Chorionic villus sampling
– Removal of tiny section of chorionic villi• Quadruple marker screen (QMS)
– Maternal blood test– Analyzes four hormone levels and compares to appropriate
standards

The Importance of Prenatal Care• Regular medical checkups• Blood tests• Prenatal nutrition• Avoiding drugs and other environmental hazards:
– Teratogens• 1st trimester • Congenital malformations
– Alcohol– Tobacco– Caffeine– Drugs– STDs and other infections

The Importance of Prenatal Care
• Prenatal activity and exercise– Moderate exercise program
• 30 minutes most days• Cardiovascular exercises
– Kegel Exercises– Prenatal exercise classes
• Preparing for birth

Complications of Pregnancy and Pregnancy Loss
• Ectopic pregnancy• Spontaneous abortion, or miscarriage• Gestational diabetes• Preterm labor• Low-birth weight (LBW)– Less than 5.5 pounds
• Infant mortality– SIDS

Labor and Delivery• Entire process 2-36 hours• First stage of labor– Average of 13 hours for a first birth– Cervix is completely dilated (10 centimeters)– Hormonal changes– Contractions (30 seconds and occur every 15-20 minutes)– Mucus plug is expelled and amniotic sac may rupture– Transition:
• Contractions may last 60-90 seconds and be 1-3 minutes apart

Childbirth• Second Stage of Labor
– Baby slowly pushed into birth canal– Baby squeezes through pelvis– Head is usually delivered first– Umbilical cord is cut
• Third Stage of Labor– Delivery of the placenta– Stage typically lasts 5-30 minutes
• Apgar score of the baby– Heart rate– Respiration– Color– Reflexes– Muscle tone– Total score is between 0 and 1019

Cesarean Deliveries
• 2006 about 31.1% of babies born in the U.S.• Surgical removal of the baby
– Baby’s head too large– Mother has a serious health condition– Mother who is overweight or diabetes– Difficult labor– Fetal distress– Dangerous infections– 90% of cesarean mothers will have subsequent deliveries by
cesarean

Pain Relief During Labor and Delivery
• Childbirth preparation courses– Breathing and relaxation techniques– Lamaze, Bradley, or hypnosis
• Epidural• Narcotics– Fentanyl or demeral– Provide less pain relief than a epidural

Postpartum Period• 3 months following childbirth• Critical family adjustment• 6-8 weeks for the mother’s reproductive organs to
return to pre-birth condition• Breastfeeding
– About 74% of mothers breast-feed– Lactation begins about 3 days post-childbirth– Colostrum is produced prior to lactation
• Postpartum depression
