Q

endocrine adaption to pregnancy

A
  • enlargement of pituitary increasing prolactin
  • increased TBG, FT4, but decreased TSH –> euthyroid
  • PTHrP increased –> calcitriol
  • estrogen stimulates insulin release from pancreas –> increased lipogenesis and fat storage

Q

what is role of progesterone in pregnancy

A
  • maintains uterus in relaxed state; withdrawal of function (but not concentration) leads to labor - possibly by decreased receptions
  • antiinflammatory
  • immunosuppressive

34
Q

variable deceleration

A
