1) What is the most dangerous time in the pregnancy of Melinda and why?
The dangerous time of pregnancy of Melinda is during her delivery given that she
has a history of congestive heart failure which can lead to a heart attack due to
the fact that she will exert effort and contractions may lead to increase HR and
BP.
2) How might the fact that Melinda has two young children affect her risk of
complications from her heart disease?
Usually in her case we don’t know who will survive during the delivery it’s either
the baby or the mother. It’s like a gamble and in this situation we fear that the
mother will not survive making the mother more anxious and stress whenever
she is on her delivery talk about her physical health knowing she has a heart
complications and prolonged delivery is not advisable in her case so that’s why
CS is offered for the mother to exert less effort.
