Clinical (Ayurvedic) Significance

• Taila Varna stanya indicates Kapha-dominant, nourishing milk - good for physical growth
• Ghrita Varna stanya is considered ideal and sattvic in quality
• Dhuma Varna stanya may indicate mild Pitta-Vata derangement but is not pathological; it is considered a positive variation
• Shankha-abha (pure white) stanya is the gold standard of healthy breast milk per Kashyapa

Abdominal Examination in Pregnancy

Sources: Textbook of Family Medicine 9e (Rakel), Park's Textbook of Preventive and Social Medicine, Creasy & Resnik's Maternal-Fetal Medicine

---

Position & Preparation

• Patient lies in dorsal recumbent position (semi-recumbent, 15-30° tilt to avoid aortocaval compression after 20 weeks)
• Bladder should be emptied before examination
• Expose abdomen from xiphisternum to pubic symphysis
• Warm hands before palpation

---

I. INSPECTION

---

II. MEASUREMENT OF FUNDAL HEIGHT

Fundal Height at Various Gestational Ages:

---

• Measure from upper border of pubic symphysis to the top of the uterine fundus with a tape measure
• SFH (cm) = gestational age in weeks ± 2 cm (after 20 weeks)
• Causes of large-for-dates: multiple gestation, polyhydramnios, macrosomia, fibroids, incorrect dates
• Causes of small-for-dates: IUGR, oligohydramnios, incorrect dates, fetal demise, transverse lie

---

III. PALPATION - Leopold's Maneuvers

The 4 Leopold's Maneuvers:

• Face the patient's head
• Cup both hands around the fundus
• Feel which fetal pole is at the fundus
• Breech (buttocks) = soft, irregular, not ballottable
• Head = hard, round, ballottable

• Hands slide down laterally from fundus
• One hand stabilizes; other palpates the opposite side
• Back = smooth, firm, continuous resistance
• Limbs = irregular nodular, small parts

• Examiner faces patient's head
• Thumb and fingers of one hand grasp the presenting part just above the pubic symphysis
• Head = hard, round, ballottable (if not engaged)
• Buttocks = soft, irregular

• Examiner turns to face the patient's feet
• Both hands placed on the lower uterus, fingers pointing toward the pelvis
• Fingers walk down toward pelvic brim
• Cephalic prominence = the brow side (if on same side as back = deflexed/extended; if on opposite side = well-flexed, normal)
• Determines degree of descent into pelvis

---

IV. AUSCULTATION

Fetal Heart Sounds (FHS):

Where to Auscultate:

• FHS are heard best through the fetal back
• Cephalic presentation, LOA (Left Occiput Anterior): Left lower quadrant
• Cephalic presentation, ROA: Right lower quadrant
• Breech presentation: At or above the umbilicus
• After 28 weeks, location changes with fetal position

---

V. SPECIAL TESTS ON PALPATION

---

VI. Summary of What Abdominal Exam Tells You

Inspection  → Skin changes, shape, size, fetal movement, scars
Measurement → Gestational age, growth discrepancy
Palpation   → Lie, presentation, position, engagement
Auscultation → FHR (rate, rhythm), fetal wellbeing

Abnormal Fetal Presentations & Positions

---

1. Overview - All Major Abnormal Presentations

---

2. Deflexion Attitudes of the Head (Cephalic Malpresentations)

Brow presentation has the largest presenting diameter - vaginal delivery impossible unless it converts.

---

3. Types of Breech Presentation

---

4. Transverse Lie, Oblique Lie & Compound Presentation

---

Summary: Causes of Abnormal Presentation

Maternal factors:    Uterine anomalies, fibroids, contracted pelvis,
                     multiparity (lax uterus), full bladder

Fetal factors:       Prematurity, multiple pregnancy, macrosomia,
                     fetal anomalies (hydrocephalus, anencephaly),
                     short umbilical cord

Placental factors:   Placenta previa, cornual placenta

Liquor:              Polyhydramnios (unstable lie)
                     Oligohydramnios (restricted fetal movement)

---

Classification of Signs of Pregnancy

---

PART I: PRESUMPTIVE SIGNS

---

1. Amenorrhea

• When: From the time of conception
• Earliest and most important symptom
• Menstruation may still occur for first 2-3 months (until decidua vera and reflexa fuse)
• Causes of false amenorrhea: Fear, stress, intense desire for pregnancy, hormonal disorders

---

2. Morning Sickness (Nausea & Vomiting)

• When: End of 1st month → disappears by 6-8 weeks later (6-14 weeks)
• Nausea + vomiting, typically in the morning, passes off in a few hours
• Due to rising hCG levels
• Not reliable as a sign alone

---

3. Breast Changes (Presumptive)

• When: From 6-8 weeks onward
• Sense of tenseness and tingling in breasts (early weeks)
• Breasts increase in size from 2nd month
• Nipples become more deeply pigmented and erectile
• Areola becomes dark brown (from pink in virgins)
• Montgomery's tubercles appear by end of 2nd month - small round dark sebaceous gland enlargements around nipple
• Colostrum expressible from 3rd month
• Striae on breasts appear after 6 months (especially in primipara)

---

4. Quickening

• When: 16-20 weeks
• First perception of fetal movements by the mother
• Described as "slight fluttering" that gradually increases
• Multigravida feel it earlier (~16 wks); primigravida later (~18-20 wks)

---

5. Pigmentation of Skin

• When: Progressively from 2nd trimester
• Vulva, abdomen, axillae become darker
• Linea nigra - dark line from pubis to beyond umbilicus
• Chloasma (Melasma/Mask of Pregnancy) - face pigmentation

---

6. Changes in the Vagina (Chadwick's/Jacquemier's Sign)

• When: From 4th week
• Vaginal mucosa changes from pink → violet → blue (venous congestion)
• Anterior vaginal wall flattened; mucus secretion increased

---

7. Urinary Disturbances (Frequency)

• When: Early weeks (uterus presses on bladder)
• Disappears as uterus rises into abdomen (3rd-4th month)
• Reappears near term (head descends into pelvis)

---

8. Other Presumptive Signs

---

PART II: PROBABLE SIGNS

---

1. Enlargement of Abdomen

• When: Visible after 12th week (uterus palpable per abdomen)

---

2. Hegar's Sign

• When: ~6th week (positive 6-10 weeks)
• Most valuable physical sign of early pregnancy
• Bimanual examination: two fingers in vagina (posterior fornix), other hand on abdomen
• The isthmus (lower uterine segment) feels soft and compressible between the firm cervix below and firm uterine body above
• Due to softening of the isthmus with decidual change and increased vascularity

---

3. Goodell's Sign

• When: From 2nd month (well marked by 4th month)
• Progressive softening of the cervix from below upward
• Normal cervix feels like the tip of the nose (cartilaginous)
• Pregnant cervix feels like the lips (soft)
• Due to increased vascularity and edema of cervical stroma

---

4. Chadwick's / Jacquemier's Sign

• When: From 4th week
• Bluish-violet discoloration of the vagina and cervix
• Due to increased vascularity and venous engorgement

---

5. Braxton Hicks Contractions

• When: Difficult before 3rd month; easily felt after 4th month
• Intermittent, irregular, painless uterine contractions
• Each contraction lasts ~1 minute, relaxation 2-3 minutes
• Present even when fetus is dead (differentiates from fetal movement)
• Due to stretching of uterine muscle

---

6. Ballottement

• When: 4th-5th month (16-20 weeks) - when fetus is small relative to liquor amnii

• Two fingers inserted into the anterior fornix
• Sudden upward motion given - fetus moves up in liquor amnii
• After a moment, fetus falls back down onto fingers like a bouncing ball

• Sharp tap given on abdominal wall over the uterus
• In a few seconds, rebound of the fetus felt on the same hand
• Negative if amniotic fluid is scanty (oligohydramnios)

---

7. Hegar's, Goodell's & Chadwick's - Illustrated

---

8. Uterine Souffle

• When: End of 4th month
• Soft blowing murmur heard on auscultation just above inguinal ligament
• Synchronous with mother's pulse (not fetal)
• Due to increased blood flow through uterine vessels

---

9. Pregnancy Tests (hCG)

• Urine/Blood hCG - detectable in blood from 8th day after implantation
• Rises rapidly, peaks at 7th week after conception
• Immunological tests (latex slide test): Positive 12-15 days after implantation
• Accuracy ~98%
• Also positive in: hydatidiform mole, choriocarcinoma, ectopic pregnancy

---

PART III: POSITIVE (CONCLUSIVE) SIGNS

---

PART IV: 2ND TRIMESTER - BODY CHANGES WITH IMAGES

A. BREAST CHANGES

---

B. FACE CHANGES - CHLOASMA

Chloasma Gravidarum (Melasma / Mask of Pregnancy)

• When: 2nd trimester onwards (after ~16 weeks)
• Appearance: Diffuse macular brown hyperpigmentation of face - forehead, cheeks, nose bridge, upper lip (butterfly distribution)
• Cause: Elevated MSH (Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone), estrogen, progesterone stimulating melanocytes
• 70% of pregnant women affected
• Worsened by sun exposure
• Usually regresses after delivery
• Treatment if persists: Topical hydroquinone, sunscreen (SPF ≥15), tretinoin, azelaic acid

---

C. ABDOMINAL CHANGES

1. Linea Nigra

• When: 2nd trimester (after 12-14 weeks)
• Dark pigmented vertical line running from pubis to umbilicus (and sometimes above)
• It is the Linea Alba (a white/pale midline raphe in non-pregnant) that becomes darkly pigmented
• Due to: Elevated MSH and estrogen → melanocyte stimulation
• Occurs in >90% of pregnant women
• Usually regresses after delivery

Memory: Linea Alba (white) → becomes Linea Nigra (black) in pregnancy

---

2. Striae Gravidarum (Stretch Marks)

• When: Usually begin in 2nd-3rd trimester (6th-7th month), sometimes from 1st trimester
• Appearance: Pinkish-purple, curved, irregular, depressed bands
  • Arranged concentrically/radially around umbilicus
  • Also on breasts, thighs, buttocks, groin, axillae
• Cause: Linear tears in dermal connective tissue (rupture of subcuticular elastic fibers) due to abdominal distension + hormonal effects
• Occur in 50-80% of pregnancies; severe in ~10%
• After delivery: Color fades → become white/silvery scars called Lineae Albicantes (Lineae Albigantes)
• Risk factors: Young age, family history, higher weight gain, large baby, non-White race
• No proven topical treatment prevents or reverses them

---

3. Umbilical Changes

---

4. Fundal Height (Abdominal measurement)

• SFH (cm) = gestational age in weeks ± 2 cm (from 20 weeks onward)
• Measured from upper border of pubic symphysis to top of fundus
