Q

breasts during early pregnancy

A

Breasts will increase in size as vascular remodeling occurs throughout the body. Estrogen and progesterone levels cause breast tissue to differentiate and create additional milk ducts to prepare for milk production

Q

blood volume at the beginning of pregnancy

A

The maternal circulatory system must meet the oxygen demands of the growing fetus; thus, the maternal blood volume begins to increase early in pregnancy and reaches a volume of 30% to 50% greater than the prepregnant state, for a single pregnancy, by the middle of the third trimester

Q

viscosity of blood in pregnancy

A

Lower hematocrit values in pregnancy decrease the blood viscosity and lower resistance for blood to reach the uteroplacental circulation to provide oxygen and nutrients to the growing fetus.

A

INCREASE: maternal oxygen demands, RR, chest diameter, CO2 production

DECREASE: total maternal lung volume expansion (leading to hyperventilation which leads to increase RR and CO2 production)

Q

why do you want good prenatal care?

A

Early prenatal care promotes positive health outcomes. This is done by testing and screening that will allow for identification of risk factors. Through early detection of these risk factors, the risk of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality is decreased. Education given on weight gain, healthy behaviors, vitamins, and nutrition early in pregnancy can also help promote a safer and heathier pregnancy.
