(+)) predictable period. Difficult to determine in a fem w/
irregular periods or in those who do not keep track of their
menstrual cycles

between 2- 16 wks. gest
• Breast engorgement & darkening of areolas:
o Occurs as early as 6-8 wks. gest
• Breast tenderness

o Rise in temp. coincides w/ luteal phase & is the result of
progesterone
• “Quickening”:
o Mother feels baby’s movements for 1st time; starts @ 16 wks.
Probable Signs: a high likelihood of preg. but there are still other
conditions that may cause the findings. Preg. tests are considered
probable because β-hCG also presents in molar pregnancies & ovarian
cancer
Probable signs include:
• Goodell’s sign:
o Cervical softening (around 4 wks.)

>20 wks. gestation: the fundus enlarges approx. 1cm/wk. As the time
for birth approaches, the fundal height drops slightly.
• This process, which is commonly called lightening, occurs for a
woman who is a primigravida around 38 weeks’ gestation but
may not occur for the woman who is a multigravida until she goes
into labor
25-35 wks. gestation: Measure the distance between the upper edge of
pubic symphysis & the top of the uterine fundus w/ a tape measure.
Fundal height in centimeters equals the number of gestational weeks (+/-
2cm). For example, a 28- wk. gestation fetus should have a fundal height
that measures between 26 & 30cm.

Subtract 3 mos. (Great Scott x 3): November 14, 2014
Add 7 days (N-A-E-G-E-L-E): November 21, 2014
Add 1 bear (year): November 21, 2015
