and Johnson’s Rule
•Benedict’s Test (Urine) – put solution first on testube (3-4 gtts) ; blue color is
normal; color green(+) turned to red (+5)
•HAAT – urine is used first.

Clinical Activities
C. POST CONSULTATION
- Give Tetanus Toxoid
TT 1 Give on the second trimester
TROPHOBLAST
Outer layer = synctiotrophoblast or synctial layer.
Inner Layer = cytotrophoblast or Langhans layer.
DECIDUA - term for the uterine lining
(endometrium) during a pregnancy, which forms the
maternal part of the placenta.
1. Decidua basalis, the part of endometrium that lies
directly under the embryo ( near the fetus)
2. Decidua capsularis, the portion of endometrium that
stretches or encapsulates the surface of the
trophoblast. (encloses fetus)
3. Decidua vera, remaining portion of uterine lining.
(near placenta).
Calendar Method
5 days prior to menstruation, it is safe to have sex as
well as 5 days after menstruation. A woman will
ovulate around Day 14 from the first day of
menstruation.
LAB TEST : HCG
Trace amounts of hCG appear in serum as early as 24
hours to 48 hours after implantation. They reach a
measurable level of about 50 mIU/mL 7 to 9 days after
conception.
LEVEL PEAKS at about 100 mIU/mL between 60 and
80th day of gestation.
Corpus Luteum
The corpus luteum, which means yellow body in Latin, is
what is left of the follicle after a woman ovulates.
After a woman ovulates, the corpus luteum only lasts for
about 12-14 days unless it begins receiving HCG from a
developing embryo. If the egg is not fertilized, the corpus
luteum dies and progesterone production stops. When
progesterone levels drop, the uterus lining stops
thickening and is consequently shed during menstruation.
If the egg is fertilized, the corpus luteum will begin
receiving HCG from the embryo. HCG tells the corpus
luteum to keep producing progesterone. The corpus
luteum lasts for about ten weeks after ovulation. After ten
weeks the placenta takes over progesterone production
through the end of pregnancy
Placenta
Size = 15 to 20 cm in diameter and 2 to 3 cm I depth.
Weight = 400 to 600 g or 1 lb.
Number of Cotyledons = 12 - 30
