Normal Pregnancy Sample Clauses
Normal Pregnancy. Normal pregnancy includes any condition usually associated with the management of a difficult pregnancy but is not considered a complication of pregnancy.
Normal Pregnancy. Serious illness, injury or death in the employee’s immediate family. Immediate family shall be: spouse, children, father, mother, step father and step-mother.
Normal Pregnancy. Reference ranges derived from non-pregnant individuals are inappropriate because pregnancy is associated with profound changes affecting thyroid function. Human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG), whose levels increase during the first 10 weeks of pregnancy and subsequently decrease, has thyrotropic properties causing an increase in serum T4 and decrease in TSH (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, 1995). The concentration of thyroid binding globulins increases with gestation as a result of estrogen stimulation and therefore measurement of the total amount of thyroid hormones does not provide an accurate reflection of active free (F) fraction of these hormones (Ain et al., 1987; ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, 1997). Several studies reported reference ranges of thyroid function in early pregnancy (Table 1.3). However, these studies examined a small number of patients, or the gestational range was wide, maternal history of thyroid disease was not recorded, anti-thyroid antibodies were either not measured or patients with such antibodies were not excluded, or they did not examine serum TSH with both FT3 and FT4 (▇▇▇▇▇ and Bold 1983; ▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, 1988; ▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 1996; ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2001; ▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2004; ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2005; ▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2005; ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2007; ▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2007; ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2008; ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2008; ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2008; ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2008; ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2008; ▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2008).
