Which of the following occurs 17-20 weeks into pregnancy, during the fetal period?

Quickening occurs

dilation, expulsion, placental

The ________ stage is the longest period, lasting up to 12 hours on average.

Dilation

What is the function of the hormone hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin)?

Physiological changes of the mother during pregnancy are:

Gastrointestinal


Urinary


Respiratory


Cardiovascular

•Morning sickness is because of elevated progesterone and estrogen


•heartburn is due to the overcrowding of organs by the fetus


• constipation

Gastrointestinal

•kidneys have additional burden and produce more urine


•the uterus compresses the bladder

Urinary

nasal mucosa becomes congested and swollen


vital capacity and respiratory rate increase


•dyspnea (difficult breathing) occurs during later stages of pregnancy

Respiratory

Blood volume increases by 25 to 40%


•Blood pressure and pulse increase


Varicose veins are common

Cardiovascular
