Placenta Abruption #placentalabruption Placental abruption is an abnormal separation of the placenta to its attachment to the womb. It is most likely to occur in the last trimester of pregnancy, most especially in the last few weeks before birth. Classic/classic signs and symptoms of placental abruption include: -Vaginal bleeding (may not be present at all times ) -Abdominal pain -Uterine tenderness -Back pain -Rapid uterine contractions, often coming one right after another The vaginal bleeding noticed by women with ongoing placental abruption varies , in most cases the bleeding is hidden (trapped) behind the placenta and it may not be visible. Abdominal pain and back pain often begin suddenly. In clinical practice, placental abruption develops slowly. In such situations patients could notice light, intermittent vaginal bleeding. When to see a doctor if you suspect placental abruption: *** placental abruption is an emergency. If you experience any classic signs or symptoms of placental abruption which includes: Vaginal bleeding, Abdominal pain, Severe back pain and it Rapid uterine contractions; please see a gynaecologist ASAP. This is an emergency. ***No one knows the specific cause of placental abruption, but certain tell tale signs in a woman past and present antenatal or obstetrics history could point to a likelihood or increased chances of developing placental abruption. Possible causes include abdominal trauma or direct injury to the abdomen — from an auto accident or fall. Also any situation which causes a rapid gush of amniotic fluid from the womb could lead suddenly negative pressure and could potent mails cause abruption; for example, during spontaneous rupture of membranes or lack of controlled rupture of membranes ( during induction of labour : IOL). *NB: rupture of membranes for IOL is safe when done appropriately. I am not saying you should not have IOL if indicated, I am only saying that the doctor would pay attention when this is done to reduce the risk of abruption. Past and present antenatal or obstetrics history which could indicate possibility of increase risk of placental abruption, includes; * Previous placental abruption. If you've experienced placental abruption before, you're at higher risk of it happening again. With 1 previous abruption this increases the risk to 4.4% risk of it happening again in the next pregnancy and if you had 2 previous pregnancies complicated by abruption : 19-25% risk of it happening again. * High blood pressure. High blood pressure — whether chronic or as a result of pregnancy — increases the risk of placental abruption. * Abdominal trauma. Trauma to your abdomen — such as from a fall or other type of blow to the abdomen — makes placental abruption more likely. * Substance abuse. Placental abruption is more common in women who smoke or use cocaine during pregnancy. * Premature rupture of the membranes.During pregnancy, the baby is surrounded and cushioned by a fluid-filled membrane called the amniotic sac. The risk of placental abruption increases if the sac leaks or breaks before labor begins. * Blood-clotting disorders. Any condition that impairs your blood's ability to clot increases the risk of placental abruption. * Multiple pregnancy. If you're carrying more than one baby, the delivery of the first baby can cause changes in the uterus that trigger placental abruption before the other baby or babies are delivered. * Maternal age. Placental abruption is more common in older women, especially after age 40. Complications Placental abruption can cause life-threatening problems for both mother and baby. For the mother, placental abruption can lead to: * Shock due to blood loss * Blood clotting problems (disseminated intravascular coagulation) * The need for a blood transfusion * Failure of the kidneys or other organs For the baby, placental abruption can lead to: * Deprivation of oxygen and nutrients * Premature birth * Stillbirth/death of the unborn child. After the baby is born, bleeding from the site of the placental attachment is likely. In the rare instance that the bleeding can't be controlled, emergency removal of the uterus (hysterectomy) might be considered and needed. Tests and diagnosis On suspicion of placental abruption you doctor would do a physical exam to check for uterine tenderness or rigidity, do a vaginal examination to assess the volume to blood loss and or any other sites of vaginal bleeding. Requests for blood tests ;like cloying profile, Do an ultrasound, to monitor the unborn baby. Treatments and drugs When placental separation occurs clearly it not possible to reattach it. Treatment options for placental abruption depend on the circumstances: * The baby isn't close to full term. If the abruption seems mild, your baby's heart rate is normal and it's too soon for the baby to be born — generally before 34 weeks of pregnancy — you might be hospitalized for close monitoring. If the bleeding stops and your baby's condition is stable, you might be able to rest at home. In some cases, you might be given medication to help your baby's lungs mature, in case early delivery becomes necessary. * The baby is close to full term. If your baby is almost full term — generally after 34 weeks of pregnancy — and the placental abruption seems minimal, a closely monitored vaginal delivery might be possible. If the abruption progresses or jeopardizes your health or your baby's health, you'll need an immediate delivery — usually by C-section. If you experience severe bleeding, you might need a blood transfusion. Prevention Placental abruption can not be prevented directly , however the risks could be significantly reduced. As we have discussed above there are certain risk factors that make placental abruption more likely. For example, clearly you would be advised not to smoke or use illegal drugs, such as cocaine. Ensure you are appropriately treated when you have high blood pressure. Following direct trauma to the abdomen following an auto accident, fall or other injury for example, should prompt urgent review due to the increased risk of placental abruption and other complications. If you've had a placental abruption and are planning another pregnancy, talk to your health care provider to see if there are any ways you might be able to reduce the risk of another abruption before conceiving again. Also expect (and if necessary request for) your health care provider to carefully monitor your condition throughout the pregnancy.

A REMINDER!!! Men & Women battling infertility go through a lot already in their mind, don’t make it more difficult for them. ✔️They do not want your pity party/sad look. ✔️Don’t remind them they’re getting old-they know that already ✔️Stop focusing all your discussions around your kids, be mindful of their struggles. They are trying to stay happy for you & your family. ✔️Stop pushing financial responsibilities at them thinking/assuming they’ve got nothing to do with their money. Many of them spend way more battling infertility than you ever spend on your kids. ✔️Pray for them IN YOUR CLOSET not on their timeline publicly during their anniversary. Don’t be a Joy-killer. Lord, I ask that you bless every womb desirous of children, Let the sound of Joy rise among many this month Oh God!!! Amen �� ~ Dr. Esther 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Doctor Jide , I was told I needed a membrane sweep? Pls What is Membrane sweep? #atgsweep #atgmembranesweep Sweeping the membranes is a way to get your labour started as you approach or get past your due date. For the doctor or midwife to do a membrane sweep a finger is inserted through the cervix making a firm, circular, sweeping movement. The membranes are gently peeled off the lower segment of the womb internally therefore stimulating the release of prostaglandins, which could get your labour started. Sweeping of the membranes, also known as stripping of the membranes, is a relatively simple technique, and it can usually be performed without admission to hospital. During vaginal examination, the clinician's finger is introduced into the cervical os. Then, the lower part of the membranes accessed through the vagina is detached from the lower uterine segment by a circular movement of the examining finger. This intervention has the potential to initiate labour by increasing local production of prostaglandins and, thus, reduce pregnancy duration or pre-empt formal IOL with either oxytocin, prostaglandins or amniotomy. The benefits and the Risks are: • No increased risk of caesarean section • Membrane sweep reduces the duration of pregnancy • Membrane sweep reduces the frequency of pregnancy continuing beyond 41 and 42 weeks of gestation • No increase in the risk of maternal or neonatal infection • Discomfort during vaginal examination and other adverse effects (bleeding, irregular contractions) are more frequently reported by women who undergo membrane sweep.

Polyhydramnios #atgPolyhydramnios #atgoligohydramnios What is polyhydramnios? Polyhydramnios means you have too much amniotic fluid in your womb (uterus). Most cases of polyhydramnios are mild or moderate. The amniotic fluid that surrounds your baby serves as protection from sudden trauma like falls or blow to your tummy, from infection, and it is important in the development of the lungs. Unborn babies would normally swallow amniotic fluid, and then pass it out as urine. This cycle is repeated till birth. When this delicate balance is disturbed, the volume of amniotic fluid can increase rapidly. Towards the end of pregnancy the amount of amniotic fluid usually decreases. Polyhydramnios is usually diagnosed when amniotic fluid volume is more than two litres. It could be as high as 3 litres in severe cases. If you notice that your tummy is getting unusually large and feeling more tight than usual, and that your skin is stretched and shiny , associated with being uncomfortable to breath, please kindly get a review. Polyhydramnios could build up gradually, or very rapidly in twin / higher order pregnancies. Symptoms of Polyhydramnios: indigestion,heartburn,constipation,swollen legs,varicose veins, stretch marks How is polyhydramnios diagnosed? Ultrasound scans would provide a more qualitative assessment of the volume of amniotic fluid and can confirm a diagnosis of polyhydramnios. The sonographer will measure the amount of fluid in four areas around your baby to work out your amniotic fluid index (AFI) or use the deepest vertical single pocket measurement. Polyhydramnios is diagnosed when the AFI is more than 24 centimetres or if there is a single pocket of fluid that is more than 8cm deep . The higher the AFI, the more severe the clinical problem is. Sometimes the scan may also reveal a reason for the condition, such as a pregnancy complication. What causes polyhydramnios and how is it treated? The treatment you will receive will depend on the cause , severity of your condition and how far you are in to your pregnancy / how close you are to delivery. In milder cases it could resolve gradually , but close monitoring would be essential. If a specific cause for the Polyhydramnios is found in your case additional specialist care may be advised ; if so pls adhere to it. Cause of Polyhydramnios 1. Uncontrolled Diabetes: This increases the volume of amniotic fluid your unborn baby produces; and you're not already being treated for diabetes In pregnancy I would advice your seek a diabetes specialist; because when you diabetes is well controller this would reduce the amount of fluid. 2. Infection : severe viral infections like could lead to increased am amniotic fluid. 3. Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) : Twin pregnancy with identical twins whereby they share a placenta are at risk of a complication called twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome which could lead to polyhydramnios. TTTS happens when one twin receives too much blood from the placenta and becomes overloaded with fluid. This leads to the twin receiving the excess blood producing more amount of urine, which results in too much amniotic fluid. Treatment could be to drain some of the fluid from around this twin to ease the pressure; and in severe cases laser treatment could be used to seal some of the placental vessels to the well-connected twin which could to even out the blood flow. 4. Developmental malformations like blockage in his food pipe (oesophagus) or a problem with his muscle control leading to impairment In the passage of swallowed fluid or inability to swallow amniotic fluid. 5. Chromosomal abnormality A chromosomal abnormality, such as Down's syndrome or Edwards' syndrome, can sometimes be a cause of polyhydramnios. Treatment of Polyhydramnios Draining excess fluid In severe cases, treating any obvious cause like infections, diabetes, laser treatment in TTTS cases and considering c- section if closer to term. ♨️Try to remember that most women with polyhydramnios go on to have healthy babies, particularly if the condition is mild. ♨️Symptomatic relieve of heartburn due to Polyhydramnios are : Eat small amounts more frequently, not lying down straight after eating food, don't eat just before going to bed, Don't eat or drink anything that makes your heartburn worse, such as spicy food, some may find relief if they sleep propped up in bed, and you get antacid prescription from you doctor.

PREECLAMPSIA Preeclampsia is when a pregnant woman develops high blood pressure and protein the urine after the 20th week (late second trimester or third trimester) of pregnancy. The exact cause is unknown but risk factors include: �Obesity �history of high blood pressure �kidney disease �Primigravidity (first pregnancy) �Multiple pregnancy(twins or more) �Age (Risk is higher if older than 35) Symptoms may include: ❌Swelling of the hands and face/eyes (edema) ❌Sudden weight gain over one or two days, more than 2 pounds a week ❌Headache that just doesn’t go away ❌Belly pain in the right side, below the ribs (may present differently) ❌Vision changes including seeing flashing lights or spots, sensitivity to light and blurry vision ❌Irritability ❌Decreased urine output ❌Nausea and vomiting If your doctor suspects preeclampsia, he/she will carry out series of examinations and investigations including blood pressure and abnormal swelling (some swelling in the feet and ankles is normal during pregnancy)others include: blood and urine test to check for series of things. Ultrasound scan , non- stress test will also be required. These will help him/her decide if your baby needs to be delivered right away. Women who had low blood pressure at the start of their pregnancy, followed by significant rise in blood pressure need to be watched closely for other signs of preeclampsia (even if the values are not that high) �Treatment The only way to cure preeclampsia is to deliver the baby. If your baby is developed enough (usually 37weeks and above) your doctor may want to deliver immediately so the preeclampsia doesn’t get worse. You may receive medicine to help induce labor or may need a C-section. If your baby isn’t fully developed and you have mild preeclampsia, the disease can often be managed at home until your baby has a good chance of surviving. In that case, your doctor may recommend: ✅Bed rest, lying on your left side most or all of the time ✅Drinking plenty of water ✅Eating less salt ✅Frequent doctor visit to make sure you’re Ok ✅Medicine to lower your blood pressure Sometimes a pregnant woman with preeclampsia is admitted to the hospital. Treatment in the hospital may include: ✅Close monitoring of both Mom and developing baby ✅Medicine to control blood pressure and prevent seizures and other complications ✅asteroid injections (after 24weeks) to help speed development of baby’s lungs. �Delivery You and your doctor will discuss the safest time to deliver your baby. Factors considered include how well the baby is doing in the womb, severity of symptoms (preeclampsia can be very dangerous for the mother) and how close you are to your due date. (The further along you are, the better for your baby.) The baby must be delivered right away if there are signs of severe preeclampsia. These include: ❗️Tests that show your baby isn’t growing well or getting enough blood and oxygen ❗️The bottom number of your blood pressure (diastolic) is over 110mmHg or consistently higher than 100mmHg over a 24-hr period ❗️Abnormal liver function test results ❗️Seizures (convulsions) or changes in mental function in mother (eclampsia) ❗️Fluid in the mother’s lungs (pulmonary edema) ❗️Severe headaches ❗️pain in the belly area ❗️Low platelet count or bleeding ❗️Low Urine output, a lot of protein in the urine and other signs kidneys aren’t working right. �Complications Severe complication include �bleeding problems, �separation of the placenta from the uterus before baby is born (Placenta abruption) �rupture of the liver �and in some cases Death (of both mother and child) So call your doctor right away if you have any preeclampsia symptoms. ~Dr Esther Oluwadeyi Excerpt and modified from Your journey through pregnancy (book) 9 Likes |

LEG CRAMPS IN PREGNANCY (Muscle pull) #ATGLegcrampsinpregnancy #ATGMusclepull If you have painful leg cramps in pregnancy, you're not alone. Many pregnant women have them in the second or third trimester, often at night. No one knows for sure why women get more leg cramps during pregnancy. It may have to do with changes in blood circulation and stress on your leg muscles from carrying extra weight. Your growing baby also puts pressure on the nerves and blood vessels that go to your legs. And some doctors say low calcium, or a change in the way your body processes calcium, may cause cramps. Leg cramps usually go away within a few minutes. Call Doctor If: ❌You have swelling, tenderness, redness, or warmth in the leg. ❌The pain doesn't go away. ❌You have trouble walking. ❌You think you need to take calcium supplements. Step-by-Step Care if you experience leg cramps in pregnancy: ✅Do calf stretches. Stretch with your heels flexed. Stretch before bed if you get cramps at night. ✅If you get a cramp, straighten your leg, heel first, and wiggle your toes. Gently massage your calf to relax the muscle. ✅Avoid sitting or standing in one position for a long time. Move around. Don't sit with your legs crossed or other ways that may hamper blood flow. ✅Take a walk every day or do other regular exercise to prevent cramping, with your doctor's OK. ✅Drink plenty of fluids to keep your muscles hydrated. ✅If you get cramps at night, take a bath before bed to relax leg muscles. ✅When you have a cramp, put a warm towel or hot water bottle on the area. ~Dr Esther Oluwadeyi Culled from www.webmd. com Photocredit: google. com 7 Likes |

*HOW WILL I KNOW WHEN LABOR HAS STARTED?* This is a common worry for first-time mums, but once labour really gets going you'll definitely know. The early signs of labour are: ♦️A show (the mucous plug at your cervix comes away and appears as a pinky-brown jelly-like blob or in pieces.) ♦️You might feel pains that feel like strong period pains (these are the start of contractions) ♦️You might have pain in your lower back that comes in waves. ♦️You may find that your waters break, in which case you know that labour is, or soon will be, under way, or you might start by feeling contractions. These will be different from the practice Braxton Hicks contractions that you may already have had. They feel *stronger, deeper and more painful.* Look out, too, for waves of backache, as some women find that this is where they feel their contractions. Once labour has started, your contractions will become *more regular and won't go away!* When you are having a contraction every five minutes (and last 30-60 seconds), call your midwife, birth centre or hospital labour ward if you are giving birth there or go to the hospital as the case may be. If this is not your first baby, or you are likely to have a quick labour, your midwife may advise you to call earlier than this. If you're still not sure whether you're in labour, phone the labour ward or your midwife. They are used to dealing with false alerts so don't worry.

WHAT IS FULL TERM PREGNANCY? Pregnancy usually lasts about 40 weeks from the first day of your last menstrual period to your due date. A full-term pregnancy lasts between 39 weeks, 0 days and 40 weeks, 6 days. This is 1 week before your due date to 1 week after your due date. Every week of pregnancy counts for your baby’s health. For example, your baby’s brain and lungs are still developing in the last weeks of pregnancy. Pregnancy usually lasts about 40 weeks (280 days) from the first day of your last menstrual period (also called LMP) to your due date. Your due date is the date that your provider thinks you will have your baby. Babies born full term have the best chance of being healthy, compared with babies born earlier or later. ACOG and SMFM use these definitions to describe term pregnancies: �Early term: Your baby is born between 37 weeks, 0 days and 38 weeks, 6 days. �Full term: Your baby is born between 39 weeks, 0 days and 40 weeks, 6 days. �Late term: Your baby is born between 41 weeks, 0 days and 41 weeks, 6 days. �Postterm: Your baby is born after 42 weeks, 0 days. *How was the length of pregnancy defined in the past?* In the past, a pregnancy that lasted anywhere between 37 to 42 weeks was called a term pregnancy. Health care providers once thought this 5-week period was a safe time for most babies to be born. In 2013, ACOG and SMFM updated the definitions for term pregnancies because research shows that every week of pregnancy counts for the health of your baby. Lots of important things happen to your baby in the last few weeks of pregnancy. For example, your baby's brain and lungs are still developing. Being pregnant for at least 39 weeks gives your baby’s body the time it needs to grow and develop. These definitions can help more babies be born healthy by helping to prevent births that are being scheduled a little early for non-medical reasons. If your pregnancy is healthy, wait for labor to begin on its own. Dr Esther Oluwadeyi Reference: Marchofdimes. org 12 Likes |
