Definition
The number of pregnancies in which the fetus or fetuses have reached viability, not the number of fetuses born, regardless of whether fetus is born alive or stillborn (no signs of life).
A woman who is pregnant for the first time.
Used to describe a pregnancy from the beginning of the 37th week of gestation to the end of the 41st week of gestation.
Capacity to live outside the uterus and termed viable at 24 weeks since last menstrual period (LMP), or weight of fetus is >500 grams.

Variability
Accelerations
Late Decelerations
Variable decelerations |
|
Definition
Irregular fluctuations in baseline FHR of 2-6 cycles per minute (STV—short term variability).
A visually apparent abrupt increase in FHR above the baseline rate of >15 bpm for > 15 seconds. It is called the 15 x 15 rule. For preterm fetuses it is 10 x 10.
Visually apparent gradual decrease in and return to baseline FHR associated with uterine contractions, but begins after the contraction has started and the lowest point of the deceleration occurs after the peak of the contraction. Persistent and repetitive late decelerations over a period of time are ominous and usually indicate the presence of fetal hypoxemia due to insufficient placental perfusion. It can lead to hypoxia and acidemia progressing to acidosis.
A visual abrupt decrease in FHR below baseline usually >15 bpm for at least 15 seconds and usually returns to baseline in less than 2 minutes from the time of onset. Caused by compression of the umbilical cord. Occur at any time.
