1. Pregnancy and development Mrs. Schmit

2. Begins with…. Fertilization - union of the sperm and the egg Fertilization - union of the sperm and the egg Happens in the oviduct Happens in the oviduct http://health.howstuffworks.com/adam-200048.htm http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/miracle/program.htmlhttp://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/miracle/program.html (sperms journey) http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/miracle/program.html Haploid Gametes: Haploid Gametes: Sperm (23 chromosomes) Sperm (23 chromosomes) Egg (23 chromosomes) Egg (23 chromosomes) Combine to form a diploid (46 chromosomes) ZYGOTE Combine to form a diploid (46 chromosomes) ZYGOTE

3. All babies begin as a single fertilized cell that undergoes cell division as it moves down the fallopian tube for 3-5 days All babies begin as a single fertilized cell that undergoes cell division as it moves down the fallopian tube for 3-5 days Zygote divides

4. Journey of Egg Zygote continues to Journey along fallopian tube - about 4-5 days while the cell divides many times Zygote continues to Journey along fallopian tube - about 4-5 days while the cell divides many times 11 to 12 days after fertilization the zygote becomes a tiny ball of cells called an embryo 11 to 12 days after fertilization the zygote becomes a tiny ball of cells called an embryo Uterus prepares spongy lining for implantation of egg. Uterus prepares spongy lining for implantation of egg.

5. Implantation Implantation is where the blastocyst (ball of cells) attaches itself to the uterine lining Implantation is where the blastocyst (ball of cells) attaches itself to the uterine lining The embryo implants by secreting an enzyme to breakdown uterine cells as it burrows into the mother's uterus. The embryo implants by secreting an enzyme to breakdown uterine cells as it burrows into the mother's uterus.

6. Implantation of egg to womb (uterus) takes place 6 -7 days after fertilization. IF not, then menstrual cycle begins.

7.

8. Names during pregnancy Zygote = first cell Zygote = first cell Embryo = weeks 0 - 8 Embryo = weeks 0 - 8 Fetus = weeks 9 until birth Fetus = weeks 9 until birth

9. What happens during pregnancy? Once implantation occurs, the formation of most internal organs and external body structures begin. Once implantation occurs, the formation of most internal organs and external body structures begin.

10. All cells of the body are classified as one of three types Ectoderm- the outer layer. Ectoderm- the outer layer. become the nervous system and skin become the nervous system and skin Endoderm - the inner layer of cells Endoderm - the inner layer of cells form the lining of the digestive and respiratory tract, parts of the liver, pancreas and many other organs Mesoderm - forms from an out pouching of the inner layer tissue of the endoderm.

14. Connects placenta to baby Amnion: membrane surrounding baby w/ amniotic fluid inside to cushion http://www.howstuffworks.co m/adam-200127.htm http://www.howstuffworks.co m/adam-200127.htm Umbilical Cord: a. connects babies navel to placenta b. 2 arteries – take wastes away from body c. 1 vein – brings “goodies” into baby

15. Embryo takes shape: Organ formation begins about 3 weeks after fertilization The area will then begin to develop the brain and spinal cord (neural tube). Embryo takes shape – first two weeks http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/miracle/program.html

16. Week 2-4 heart and major blood vessels begin to develop by about day 16 or 17. Beats 120-160 beats per minute heart begins to pump fluid through blood vessels by day 20, and the first red blood cells appear the next day. Blood vessels continue to develop in the embryo and placenta

18. Week 5-9 By the sixth week from fertilization tiny fingers appear, followed within days by the toes. By the sixth week from fertilization tiny fingers appear, followed within days by the toes. By the seventh week the baby has individual fingerprints. By the seventh week the baby has individual fingerprints. Almost all organs are completely formed by about 8 weeks after fertilization Almost all organs are completely formed by about 8 weeks after fertilization 9 weeks from the last menstrual period (7 weeks from conception) 9 weeks from the last menstrual period (7 weeks from conception) 9 weeks 42 days

19. Week 10-14 14 weeks – sex can be identified 14 weeks – sex can be identified

22. Changes in Mom 1. Emotional – hormones change 2. urinary bladder is squished 3. other abdominal organs are crowded 4. weight changes (ideally no more than 24 pounds gained) 5. Breasts enlarge 6. Lactation – milk production

23. Labor Position of baby during labor varies: Lengthwise 99% Lengthwise 99% a. head down / face up – most common b. face down (5.5 %) c. Sideways (1 %) d. Breech (3.5%) e. Caesarean Birth also known as a C- section

24. Three stages

25. First Stage - Labor Early or latent phase - Begins with contractions and ends when the cervix is 100 percent effaced and dilated to 10 centimeters Early or latent phase - Begins with contractions and ends when the cervix is 100 percent effaced and dilated to 10 centimeters Average length ranges from 10-16 hrs Average length ranges from 10-16 hrs

32. Apgar Test Tests done once baby is born Tests done once baby is born

33. Lactation Milk Secretion Milk Secretion 1. Prolactin hormone starts milk production right after birth 2. actual milk comes in 2 days Advantages to breast feeding contain proper nutrition at right temp. right price – cost effective Contains what mom eats and drinks

34. Abrupt changes for baby 1. temperature change 2. lungs begin to be used 3. food getting 4. waste disposal 5. blood circulation

35. Problems during Pregnancy Anemia – not enough blood cells circulating in the mother's blood. Anemia – not enough blood cells circulating in the mother's blood. Fairly Common – two types 1 - dilutional anemia - increase of circulating blood sometimes up to 40-50% in order to sustain the growing baby. 1 - dilutional anemia - increase of circulating blood sometimes up to 40-50% in order to sustain the growing baby. 2 - iron deficiency anemia - when a woman's iron-level is insufficient and red blood cells aren't being made in a great enough level. Treatment – take iron supplements Treatment – take iron supplements

36. Pre-eclampsia Only happens when pregnant high blood pressure high blood pressure protein in the urine protein in the urine an increased swelling in the legs and feet. an increased swelling in the legs and feet. Symptoms persistent headaches persistent headaches flashing light flashing light blurred vision and seeing spots blurred vision and seeing spots upper abdominal pain upper abdominal pain sudden excessive lower leg swelling sudden excessive lower leg swelling Treatment is often bedrest and monitor baby’s blood pressure

37. Group B Strep: Bacteria – many carry without developing infection or illness. Bacteria – many carry without developing infection or illness. is the leading cause of infections in newborns. (Not group A strep which is strep throat). Doctors find Group B Strep through cultures during pregnancy. Can be treated by giving antibiotics during labor so infection does not pass to baby Can be treated by giving antibiotics during labor so infection does not pass to baby

38. Gestational Diabetes: develops during pregnancy, when a woman's body is not making enough insulin. Develops usually in second trimester. Develops usually in second trimester. Cannot be treated by pills, most treatment is through diet or insulin. Cannot be treated by pills, most treatment is through diet or insulin.

39. Low Birth Weight: Caused by poor nutrition, substance use (cigarettes, alcohol, drugs). Can be an effect of a STD, other contagious diseases, or no pre-natal care.
