Physiological change that occurs in pregnancy is given below.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The enlarging uterus, growing fetus, placenta, amniotic fluid, normal increase in body fat, and increase in water retention all contribute weight gain during pregnancy.
  • As the fetus grows and develops, several anatomical changes must occur to the female body to accommodate the growing fetus, including placental development, weight gain, abdominal extension, breast enlargement, glandular development, and posture changes. ... The abdomen drops and fetal movement can become quite strong.
  • Your uterus begins to support the growth of the placenta and the fetus, your body adds to its blood supply to carry oxygen and nutrients to the developing baby, and your heart rate increases. These changes accompany many early pregnancy symptoms, such as: fatigue. morning sickness.
  • Physiological changes occur with aging in all organ systems. The cardiac output decreases, blood pressure increases and arteriosclerosis develops. The lungs show impaired gas exchange, a decrease in vital capacity and slower expiratory flow rates.
