Why is Respiratory distress syndrome more common in babies of diabetic mother?
-Because fetal hyperinulinaemia inhibits the formation of lung surfactant and delays lung maturity.

Remember:
-The total serum T4 is normally increased during pregnancy as estrogen increases the thyroxine-binding globulin.

PRESENTATION:
-The part of the fetus which occupies the lower pole of the uterus (pelvic brim) is called the presentation of the fetus.

PESENTING PART:
-The presenting part is defined as the part of the presentation which overlies the internal os and is felt by the examining finger through the cervical opening.
-Thus, in cephalic presentation, the presenting part may be vertex (most common), brow or face, dep ending upon the degree of flexion of the head.

MOULDING:
- It is the alteration of the shape of the forecoming head while passing through the resistant birth passage during labor.

Moulding disappears within few hours after birth.
Grading:
There are three gradings.
Grade-1—the bones touching but not overlapping,
Grade-2—overlapping but easily separated and
Grade-3—fixed overlapping.

-Brow: It is an area bounded on one side by the anterior fontanel and coronal sutures and on the other side by the root of the nose and supraorbital ridges of either side.
-Vertex: It is a quadrangular area bounded anteriorly by the bregma and coronal sutures behind by the lambda and lambdoid sutures and laterally by lines passing through the parietal eminences.

-Sinciput is the area lying in front of the anterior fontanel and corresponds to the area of brow and the occiput is limited to the occipital bone.

DEFINITION of Preterm labor (PTL):
-It is defined as one where the labor starts before the 37th completed week (<259 days), counting from the first day of the last menstrual period.
-The lower limit of gestation is not uniformly defined; whereas in developed countries it has been brought down to 20 weeks, in developing countries it is 28 weeks.
-Preterm birth is the significant cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality.

(1) Regular uterine contractions with or without pain (at least one in every 10 minutes);
(2) Dilatation (> 2 cm) and effacement (80%) of the cervix;
(3) Length of the cervix (measured by TVS) < 2.5 cm and funneling of the internal os and
(4) Pelvic pressure, backache and/or vaginal discharge or bleeding.

WHO definition of Preterm Labor (PTL)
-Regular contractions associated with cervical changes ( <37complete ->20 weeks of pregnancy )
-Birth weight < 2500 g
•Threatened PTL: presence of uterine contractions in absence of cervical changes.
•Early PTL: is PTL occurring < 34 weeks gestation.
lt is the more serious type of PTL.
•Late PTL: is PTL occurring > 34 but < 37 weeks.
It carries less foetal risks than early PTL.

-Screening for GDM is done between 24 and 28 weeks of pregnancy.
-Fetal congenital malformations are high (2 to 6-fold increase) in diabetic woman (pregestational diabetes); most common is cardiovascular.

-Fetal anomalies are however not increased in case of GDM, Why?
-This is due to the absence of metabolic disturbance during organogenesis, because GDM occurs later during second or third trimester.
