CPM Certified Professional Midwife

Answer: D - The midwife should see the client at 18 weeks’ gestation complaining of blurring of vision. Blurring of vision indicates that the client is most likely experiencing pregnancy - induced hypertension. Increased urinary frequency is a normal complaint of clientss in the first trimester. Intermittent, painless contractions around the 20^th week of gestation are referred to as Braxton Hicks contractions. The client who is coming for her first prenatal check up does not demonstrate any signs of abnormality.
