Fetal assessment
Aim: Ensure fetal wellbeing ( Identify patients at risk of fetal asphyxia) To prevent prenatal mortality & morbidity
Stillbirth Mortality Metabolic acidosis at birth Metabolic acidosis Hypoxic renal damage Necrotizing enterocolitis Intracranial haemorrhage Seizures Cerebral palsy
CONDITIONS ASSOCIATED WITH INCREASED PERINATAL MORBIDITY/MORTALITY WHERE ANTENATAL FETAL TESTING MAY HAVE AN IMPACT
Small for gestational age fetus Decreased fetal movement Postdates pregnancy (>294 days) Pre-eclampsia/chronic hypertension Pre-pregnancy diabetes Insulin requiring gestational diabetes Preterm premature rupture of membranes Chronic (stable) abruption

Amniotic fluid
Normal (score=2)
1 episode FBM of at least 30 s duration in 30 min 3 discrete body/limb movements in 30 min 1 episode of active extension with return to flexion of fetal limb(s) or trunk. Opening and closing of the hand considered normal tone
Abnormal (score= 0)
Absent FBM or no episode >30 s in 30 min 2 or fewer body/limb movements in 30 min Either slow extension with return to partial flexion or movement of limb in full extension Absent fetal movement
1 pocket of AF that measures at least 2 cm Either no AF pockets in 2 perpendicular planes or a pocket<2 cm in 2 perpendicular planes
Interpretation
Risk of fetal asphyxia extremely rare
Management
Intervention for obstetric and maternal factors
Determine that there is functioning renal tissue and intact membranes. If so, delivery of the term fetus is indicated. In the preterm fetus less than 34 weeks, intensive surveillance may be preferred to maximize fetal maturity.

5-10% normal karyotype ( but could be associated with cardiac defects, diaphragmatic hernia, Exomphalos)
Nuchal translucency
Amniocentesis
Obtaining a sample of amniotic fluid surrounding the fetus during pregnancy.
Indications of amniocentesis:
Genetic amniocentesis:
Chromosomal analysis (Down syndrome) Spina bifida (Alpha fetoprotein) Inherited diseases (muscular dystrophy) Bilirubin level in isoimmunization
Theraputic amniocentesis: Reduce maternal stress in polyhydramnios Mainly in twin-twin transfusion or if abnormality associated
Amniocentesis
CVS
