    PREGNANCY-RELATED

    CONCERNS AND
    PRE-NATAL CARE
    A New Beginning
    After marriage, a couple’s
    desire is to build a family.
    Humans are reproduced
    through sexual reproduction.

    FERTILIZATION - the
    reproductive cells of man
    and woman join together to
    make a new human cell
    IMPLANTATION- the
    attachment of the
    developing cells to the
    uterus.

    PREGNANCY- is the time


    when a new cell is formed
    during fertilization, grows
    and develops into a baby
    in the woman’s uterus.
    EMBRYO - the developing
    human, that the ovum and
    the sperm cell unite until
    the end of the eight week

    FETUS -the developing


    human, from the eight
    week until birth.

    A normal pregnancy generally


    lasts until 9 months or 38-
    40 weeks.
    Teenage Pregnancy
    are premature
    because they
    occur in mothers
    who may be too
    young and/or
    immature to care
    for a child
    adequately
    Consider this statistics:
    • Teens 15 and younger, face
    a 60% higher risk of death
    during pregnancy and
    child birth than young
    mothers on the age of 20.
    • Babies born to young
    teenage mothers are two
    to three times more likely
    to die during their first
    year than babies born to
    older mothers.
    • Teen mothers are twice
    more likely to have low
    birth weight infants
    • Seventy percent of teen
    mothers get no medical
    care at all during
    critical first months of
    pregnancy and 25% get
    no prenatal care at all
    • Even with good prenatal
    care, teenager mothers
    are more likely to have
    premature labor and to
    deliver low birth-weight
    babies.
    • Young teen mothers are
    likely to drop out of
    school and face high risk
    of unemployment,
    poverty, and dependence
    on parents.
    • If they marry due to
    pregnancy, their risk of
    break up or separation is
    high.
    • The young mother is
    more likely to be angered
    and disillusioned by her
    baby’s demands and may
    become an abusive
    parent.
    Changes in the Mother’s Body
    • “MORNING SICKNESS” - usually
    last for 3 months
    • the woman’s breast enlarge and
    prepare to produce milk
    • the woman’s uterus stretches to
    hold a full-sized newborn baby
    • experiences swelling of legs,
    difficulty in sleeping,
    restlessness, and irritability as
    the fetus gets larger
    Normal physical changes and symptoms throughout
    pregnancy
    • Fatigue
    • Morning sickness
    • Sleep problems
    • Breast changes
    • Changes in vaginal discharge
    • Nosebleeds and bleeding gums
    • Constipation
    • Varicose veins
    • Hair changes
    • Stretch marks, itchiness, and other skin changes
    • Leg cramps
    • Back pain
    • Pelvic ache and hip pain
    • Hand pain, numbness, or weakness
    Nourishing the Baby
    PLACENTA is an organ that
    grows in the woman’s
    uterus during pregnancy
    and allows nutrients,
    gases, and wastes to be
    exchanged between the
    mother and the fetus.
    • Nutrients, fluids, and
    oxygen flow through the
    membrane from the
    mother to the fetus

    • Waste products and


    carbon dioxide flow across
    the placenta from the
    fetus to the mother.

    • the fetus gets its nutrition


    from food the mother eats
    Phases of pregnancy

    FIRST TRIMESTER OF
    PREGNANCY lasts from
    week 1 through week
    12. Your first sign of
    pregnancy may be a
    missed menstrual
    period.
    SECOND TRIMESTER OF
    PREGNANCY
    (from week 13 to week 27)
    is the time when most
    women start to look
    pregnant and may begin to
    wear maternity clothes
    • the easiest part of
    pregnancy
    • physical discomforts of late
    pregnancy have yet to start
    THIRD TRIMESTER
    lasts from week 28 to
    the birth. Many
    women have some
    discomfort during this
    time as their belly gets
    bigger. Sleep problems
    are common during
    this period.
    COMPLICATIONS of Pregnancy
    SPECIAL CONDITION PREVENTION AND
    MANAGEMENT

    large meals and high carbohydrates,
    low fat foods such as crackers and jelly

    BIRTH- is the passage of a
    baby from its mother’s
    uterus to the outside of
    her body

    Labor is the process that


    lasts from the time
    contractions starts until
    the delivery of the child
    and the placenta
    THERE ARE THREE DISTINCT
    STAGES OF LABOR:
    1st Stage – Begins with the
    first contraction and last
    until the cervix has opened
    enough to allow the baby
    to pass through.
    Contraction happens every
    few minutes and lasts a
    minute.
    2nd Stage – Starts when
    the cervix is completely
    open and lasts until the
    baby is delivered.
    During this period,
    contraction happens
    every 2-3 minutes.
    After the baby is born,
    the doctor cuts the
    umbilical cord. Healthy
    babies breathe and cry
    almost immediately.
    3rd Stage – This is the final
    stage of labor. It is when
    the placenta is delivered.
    In this stage, the
    mother’s uterine
    contractions push the
    placenta or “afterbirths”
    out of her body. At this
    time, the birth is
    completed.
    CEASARIAN SECTION (CS)- the doctor surgically
    removes the baby and the placenta from the
    mother’s uterus.
    Mother’s role during and after pregnancy:
    • Avoid vices such as smoking and drinking
    alcoholic beverages.
    • Avoid stressful activities.
    • See to it that she gets the necessary pre-natal
    and post natal check-up.
    • Do exercises like walking, yoga, etc.
    • Eat nutritious food
    Father’s role during and after pregnancy of wife:
    • Take care of the mother and the baby.
    • See to it that the mother gets the necessary
    pre-natal and post natal check-ups.
    • See to it that the necessary immunizations for
    the baby are followed as scheduled.
    • Provide healthy diet meals for the mother and
    the child.
    ACTIVITY: PAPER PLATE
    • Cut out pictures of different foods
    and paste them on a paper plate.
    Remember that these foods are
    what a woman should be eating
    during pregnancy. Pass your plate
    tomorrow.
