*1st stage of labor is from start of painful contractions to 10 cm dilation, divided into '''latent (0-6 cm) and active (6-10 cm) phases'''. Protraction of active phase is defined as '''≤1 cm dilation in 2 hr with inadequate contractions (more than 2-3 min apart)'''

*Indications for antibiotic ppx in patients who are GBS unknown: '''< 37 weeks, ROM > 18 hrs, intrapartum fever'''
 +
*Diagnosis of placenta previa in a patient without prenatal care and with current bleeding: TVUS or speculum exam (these are actually safe because they don't go in the endocervical canal)
 +
*Self breast exams are never recommended.

*POP can cause abnormal uterine bleeding.

*Treat cerebral venous sinus thrombosis with '''LMWH (even in the presence of a hemorrhage)'''

*Kleihauer-Betke test calculates '''the percentage of fetal blood cells in the maternal circulation to determine dose of Rhogam'''
 +
*Acute cervicitis is most commonly caused by '''chlamydia or gonorrhea'''
 +
*UTI (and asymptomatic bacteriuria) treatment in pregnancy: get a urine culture; treat with '''Fosfomycin (single dose), Augmentin (5-7 days), Cephalexin or Cefpodoxime (5-7 days)'''; Test for cure one week after completion of antibiotics.

*First line treatment of PCOS is weight loss.

*Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome causes '''hemoconcentration, nausea, vomiting, bilaterally enlarged ovaries with multiple large follicles, rapid weight gain, and ascites'''.

*1st stage (painful contractions leading to cervical dilation)
 +
** Latent Phase (0-6 cm dilation): Protraction of latent phase is defined as greater than '''14 hours (multip) or 20 hours (nullip) without change in dilation'''.
 +
** Active Phase (6-10 cm dilation): '''Protraction of active phase''' is defined as ≤1 cm dilation in 2 hr; manage with Pitocin. '''Arrest''' is defined as no change in 4 hours (with adequate contractions) or 6 hours (without adequate contractions); management includes placing an IUPC catheter to determine if contractions are adequate, if yes: C-section, if no: AROM or Pitocin.
 +
*2nd stage (active pushing)
 +
** Arrest is defined as no change in fetal station in 1-3 hrs (depending on parity and use of neuraxial anesthesia); management is to reduce epidural rate, give Pitocin, consider C-section or forceps delivery.
 +
*3rd stage (delivery of the placenta)
