Study Notes

Physiological Changes during Pregnancy

  • A major factor contributing to physiological changes in a pregnant woman is weight gain.
  • The cardiovascular system experiences the most obvious changes during pregnancy.
  • The cardiovascular system also experiences an increase in total blood volume during pregnancy.
  • A normal physiological process that happens in response to the development of the fetus is an increase in blood volume.
  • Pregnancy has a significant impact on the immune system, which is suppressed to prevent the mother's immune system from rejecting the fetus.
  • Physiological changes during pregnancy affect multiple systems, not just the reproductive system.
  • Hormonal changes play a crucial role in the physiological changes during pregnancy.
  • Pregnancy-related changes are not limited to the musculoskeletal system, but affect multiple systems.
  • Pregnancy has a significant impact on the cardiovascular system.
