hematomas, and number of umbilical vessels. - answer-True
T/F: Low amplitude contractions are not an early sign of preterm labor. - answer-
False
T/F: Corticosteroid administration may cause an increase in FHR accelerations. -
answer-False
T/F: Corticosteroid administration may cause an increase in FHR. - answer-True
T/F: Contractions cause an increase in uterine venous pressure and a decrease in
uterine artery perfusion. - answer-True
As a result of the intrinsic fetal response to oxygen deprivation, increased
catecholamine levels cause the peripheral blood flow to decrease while the blood
flow to vital organs increases. These flow changes along with increased
