gonadotropin (hCG) in a woman's urine. There are three types of positive signs: (1) the beating of the fetal heart, (2) active fetal
movement, and (3) detection of a fetal skeleton by ultrasound.

104. What effect can the intake of alcohol by a pregnant woman have on her fetus?
The effects of prenatal alcohol consumption are dose dependent; that is, the more alcohol the mother consumes, the larger the
number and severity of effects on the child. Research has shown that alcohol consumption during pregnancy is linked with
cryptorchidism, slower information processing times, slower reaction times, increased visual fixation, reduced complexity of play
and academic and behavioral problems. The abuse of alcohol during pregnancy may result in a condition known as fetal alcohol
syndrome (FAS). This syndrome is characterized by prenatal and postnatal growth deficiencies, a small brain, small eye
openings, and joint, limb, and heart malformations. Perhaps the most serious effect is mental retardation. About 85 percent of
children with FAS have an IQ of about 70 or below.

105. Briefly discuss the effect of occupational exposure of pregnant women to chemical solvents on their children.
Chemical solvents are used in the manufacture of and found in many commercial products, including paint, glues, dyes,
cosmetics, and cleaning agents. The neurotoxicity of these to adults is well-established. A large-scale longitudinal study in France
recruited women at the beginning of pregnancy and followed them until the child was two years old. One-fifth of the mothers
reported occasional exposure on the job to these solvents, and 31 percent reported regular exposure at work. Children who were
exposed prenatally were given higher scores at age 2 by their caregivers on attention deficit/hyperactivity and aggression
(fighting, hitting, kicking others). Again, greater exposure was associated with more pronounced effects.

106. Briefly discuss the three stages of labor.

First-stage labor begins with the regular contractions of the muscles of the uterus, which causes the effacement and dilation of the
cervix. This stage can last anywhere from 2 to 24 hours and is divided into three stages:
a. Early first stage: Contractions are far apart with perhaps 15 to 20 minutes between them and last between 45 seconds to a
minute.
b. Late first stage: The cervix dilates 2 to 3 inches, and contractions are more frequent and more intense.
c. Transition phase: The final dilation of the cervix from 8 to 10 centimeters takes place, and contractions are very strong and
painful.
Second-stage labor begins when the cervix is fully dilated and the baby's head begins to move into the vagina. During this stage,
many women feel the urge to push, which may help in pushing the baby out. Once the head is visible at the vaginal entrance
many physicians perform an episiotomy. Once the baby is eased out of the mother's body, the umbilical cord is clamped and cut
off.
During third-stage labor, the placenta detaches from the walls of the uterus and the afterbirth is expelled. The episiotomy and/or
any tears are sewn up. This stage may last a few minutes to an hour.

107. What does research tell us about the use of anesthetics during childbirth?
The use of anesthetics has been questioned by some. Proponents of the use of anesthetics argue that, with modern technology,
women no longer need to experience pain during childbirth. Opponents argue that anesthetics have a number of well-documented
dangerous effects on both mother and infant. Anesthetics in the mother's bloodstream pass through the placenta to the infant.
Thus, while they have the desired effect of depressing the mother's central nervous system, they also depress the infant's nervous
system. Anesthetics also prevent the mother from using her body as effectively as she might to push the baby out. Also, if
administered early in labor, anesthetics may inhibit uterine contractions, slow cervical dilation, and prolong labor. However,
research also shows that the negative effects of epidural anesthesia can be reduced by using low dosages and techniques that
allow the woman to move around.

108. Briefly describe the three types of postpartum psychiatric disorders.

Many women experience some degree of depression post-delivery. The depressed mood and other experiences range from mild
to severe and are of three types:
a. Postpartum blues ("baby blues"): Women experience mood swings with periods of feeling depressed, being irritable, and
crying alternating with positive moods. The symptoms usually begin a few days after delivery, are most intense at one-week
postpartum, and lessen or disappear by two weeks postpartum.
b. Postpartum depression: This is characterized by depressed mood, insomnia, tearfulness, feelings of inadequacy, and fatigue.
It usually occurs two to three weeks postpartum, but may occur any time after delivery.
c. Postpartum psychosis: This is the most severe disturbance, for which early symptoms include restlessness, irritability, and
sleep disturbance; later ones include disorganized behavior, mood swings, delusions, and hallucinations. Its onset can be
dramatic, within 72 hours of delivery, or four to six weeks postpartum.

109. What is an ectopic pregnancy? How do most ectopic pregnancies end?

6-24
An ectopic pregnancy occurs when the fertilized egg implants somewhere other than the uterus. Tubal pregnancies, that is, when
the egg implants in the fallopian tube, are the most commonly occurring ectopic pregnancies. A tubal pregnancy may end in one
of two ways. The embryo may spontaneously abort and be released into the abdominal cavity or the embryo and placenta may
continue to expand, stretching the tube until it ruptures. Symptoms of a rupture include sharp abdominal pain or cramping, dull
abdominal pain and possible pain in the shoulder, and vaginal bleeding. Meanwhile, hemorrhaging is occurring and the woman
may go into shock and, possibly, die.

110. Compare amniocentesis with chorionic villus sampling (CVS).

Two procedures that can help in detecting birth defects are amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling (CVS).
Amniocentesis involves inserting a fine tube through the pregnant woman's abdomen and removing some amniotic fluid for
analysis. The technique is capable of providing an early diagnosis of most chromosomal abnormalities, some genetically
produced biochemical disorders, and sex linked diseases carried by females but affecting males, although it cannot detect all
disorders. If a defect is discovered, the woman may then decide to terminate the pregnancy with an abortion.
CVS can be performed in two ways: transcervically or transabdominally. In either case, a sample of cells is taken from the
chorionic villi and these cells are analyzed for evidence of genetic defects.
Studies indicate that CVS is as accurate as amniocentesis. While both procedures carry the risk of fetal loss, for amniocentesis the
fetal loss rate is 1 percent; for transcervical CVS it is higher, while for transabdominal the risk is about the same as
amniocentesis. A major problem with amniocentesis is that it cannot be done until the second trimester; if genetic defects are
discovered, there may have to be a late abortion. CVS, in contrast, can be done in the first trimester, usually around 9 to 11
weeks' postconception.

111. What do we know about the causes of infertility?

The causes of infertility may be related to either the male or the female or both. The most common cause of infertility in women
is pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) caused by sexually transmitted infection, while in men it is infections in the reproductive
system caused by sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Other factors include blockage of the fallopian tubes and "hostile mucus"
in women, and low sperm count and low sperm motility in men may also contribute to infertility. Less common causes include
poor nutrition, eating disorders, exposure to toxic chemicals, smoking, and use of alcohol, narcotics, and barbiturates. The latter
few causes are common to both men and women. Weight may also be a factor as obesity in men is associated with abnormalities
of the sperm and the rate of an ovulation in women increases as the body mass index (BMI) at age 18 increases. Age is also a
factor for both men and women.
In some situations, a combination of factors in both the man and the woman causes the infertility. One such factor is an
immunologic response wherein, for example, a woman may have an allergic reaction to the man's sperm or her immune system
may react to the fetus or placenta.

112. Discuss the various assisted reproductive technologies (ART) that have been developed to aid the process of conception.
The new reproductive technologies that have been developed to assist the process of conception are as follows:
a. Artificial insemination: This procedure involves artificially placing semen in the vagina to produce pregnancy. It is of two
types: artificial insemination by husband (AIH) that can be used when the husband has a low sperm count, and artificial
insemination by donor (AID) that is used when the husband is sterile.
b. Sperm banks: These banks make it possible to freeze and store sperm. Online sperm banks allow prospective parents to
identify and select a donor according to physical characteristics, education, and family medical history. They do not, however,
guarantee the accuracy of donor information.
6-25
c. Embryo transfer: This is a procedure in which an embryo is transferred from the uterus of one woman to the uterus of another
woman (a surrogate mother).
d. Test-tube babies: In this procedure, also known as in vitro fertilization (IVF), the sperm and the egg are united outside the
human body, in a test tube. The embryo is then implanted in the uterus of a woman and carried to term.
e. Gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) and zygote intrafallopian transfer (ZIFT): In the former procedure, sperm and eggs are
collected and inserted into the fallopian tube, where natural fertilization can take place, followed by natural implantation. In the
latter, the sperm and egg are first fertilized in a laboratory dish and then the zygote is planted in the fallopian tube, again allowing
natural implantation.
