  1. AMNIOTIC SAC

  2. A thin membrane that completely surrounds the embryo and contains a protective fluid. It function is to protect the “baby”.

  3. PLACENTA

  4. A circular vascular structure that collects wastes.

  5. UMBILICAL CORD

  6. Connects the developing embryo or fetus to the placenta. Developed from the same zygote as the fetus. Supplies the fetus with oxygenated, nutrient-rich blood from the placenta

  7. AMNIOCENTESIS

  8. Procedure usually performed between weeks 14 and 20 weeks. A needle is inserted into the abdomen which removes amniotic fluid, that contains fetal infections. Test detects birth defects. Done to a mother 35 years or older.

  9. ULTRASOUND

  10. An instrument used to visually evaluate the baby and detect any abnormalities.

  11. ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION

  12. Inserts sperm into the uterus.

  13. IN VITRO FERTILIZATION

  14. Surgical procedure where the eggs are removed after fertilization drugs were administered. The eggs are then fertilized outside of the body and then reinserted back into the uterus.

  15. FORCEPS

  16. A tool used to help extract the baby late in labor.

  17. VACUUM EXTRACTOR

  18. Uses suction to adhere to the baby’s head. With this method of delivery the baby is gently pulled out as the woman pushes through labor

  19. EPIDURAL

  20. Regional anesthesia that blocks pain. It is delivered in the lower back. Catheter is threaded through the needle. Catheter is left in place so medication can be given periodically.

  21. Symptoms of a Pregnant Woman

  22. Extreme pressure on the internal organs may cause: difficulty breathing, indigestion or decrease in appetite, constipation, gas, and pain or discomfort

  23. LINEA NIGRA

  24. A dark line appearing on the abdomen.

  25. MASK OF PREGNANCY

  26. Spots and patches of a yellowish-brown color on the face due to hormones of pregnancy

  27. SWOLLEN ANKLES

  28. A pregnant woman will have two times the amount of blood in her body so swelling can be the end result.

  29. NORMAL DELIVERY (BIRTH)

  30. The baby should be exiting the vaginal canal face first facing the mother’s back.

  31. DILATED CERVIX

  32. The baby can be delivered when the cervix is dilated 10 cm.

  33. EFFACEMENT

  34. The thinning of the cervix lining.

  35. BREECH BIRTH

  36. Birth presentation in which the “baby” is not head first. It could either be buttocks or feet first

  37. ABRUPTIO PLACENTAE

  38. When the placenta separates from the uterus of the mother prematurely

  39. PLACENTA PREVIA

  40. When the placenta is underneath the baby coming out first. Cesarean delivery is recommended for nearly all women with this because it can prevent severe bleeding.

  41. ETOPIC PREGNANCY

  42. The pregnancy tissue or embryo becomes implanted in the fallopian tubes or somewhere else in the abdomen besides the uterus. The embryo may die and frequently must be removed by surgery.

  43. RH INCOMPATIBILITY

  44. The woman’s blood produces an antibody that attacks a substance in the infant’s blood cells. This may occur if the woman Rh negative and the infant is Rh positive. The problem can be avoided by injections that prevent a woman’s blood from making Rh antibody.

  45. TOXEMIA

  46. The pregnant woman has high blood pressure, swelling and protein in the urine. Untreated can result in convulsions, coma, and death of both mother and infant. It is most common among teenagers, older women and women who already have health problems.

  47. MISCARRIAGE

  48. The pregnancy tissue or embryo is expelled from the uterus before it is sufficiently developed. May be caused by genetic defect, illness in the mother, drugs the mother has taken, or other factors. Usually occurs within the first 3 months of pregnancy

  49. STILL BIRTH

  50. An infant is born dead 22 weeks or more after conception.
