Maternal physiological changes in pregnancy are the adaptations during pregnancy that a women’s body undergoes to accommodate the growing embryo or fetus. These physiologic changes are entirely normal, and include behavioral, cardiovascular , hematologic, metabolic, renal, posture, and respiratory changes.
