Expected Physiological Changes During Pregnancy: Documenting Ultrasound Findings (Active Learning Template - Basic Concept, RM MN RN 10.0 Chp 3)
a- Fetal heart tones are heard at a normal baseline rate of 110 to 160/min with reassuring FHR accelerations noted, which indicates an intact fetal CNS
b- Uterine size changes from a uterine weight of 50 to 1,000g (0.1 to 2.2 lb). By 36 weeks of gestation, the top of the uterus and the fundus will reach the xiphoid process. This might cause the pregnant woman to experience shortness of breath as the uterus pushes against the diaphragm
c- Visualization of fetus seen through ultrasound
