    Preterm labor can occur between 20-37 weeks gestation and is diagnosed through cervical examination and tests. Treatments include medications to stop labor and steroids to help fetal lung development. Bed rest and hydration are advised for self-care. Pregnancy-induced hypertension is diagnosed through blood pressure monitoring and urine tests. Treatments include bed rest, medication, and diet. Placenta previa occurs when the placenta is low in the uterus and can cause painless bleeding in the third trimester. It is diagnosed via ultrasound and treated with bed rest, monitoring, and possible cesarean section.

    FHTs. + Nitrazine test

     This test is done to ascertain the nature of

    fluid in the vagina during pregnancy


    especially when premature rupture of
    membranes (PROM) is suspected.

    lungs, tocolytics (medications to halt

     HELLP Syndrome (hemolysis,
    elevated liver enzymes, and low
    platelet count)
    Precipitating factors:

     Primigravida, age under 20 or over 40,

     Increasing maternal age and
     Cocaine use and smoking during pregnancy
    Signs and Symptoms

     Painless vaginal bleeding occurring in the

    third trimester; bleeding is bright red


    Diagnosis

     Ultrasound demonstrates location of

    and will have problems in all subsequent
    pregnancies with an Rh+ fetus.
    Signs and Symptoms

     Fetal hydrops

     Hyperbilirubinemia

     Fetal death

    Diagnosis
