- sensitive breasts (may also become heavier, tender, and larger)
- mood swings (due to an increase in estrogen and progesterone, and major life
change)
- fatigue
- nausea/vomiting
- increased urinary frequency due to increase in plasma volume
- headaches and/or lightheaded
- sensitivity to smells and foods
- shortness of breath
second trimester for mom consists of ✅15-27 weeks gestation
- Red inflamed gums/nose bleeds - d/t increased blood pressure from vasodilation
- Leaky breasts - d/t lactogenesis increase
, - Stuffy nose - Water retention d/t increased cardiac output and ADH and aldosterone
(RAAS system)
- Increased baby movement - fetal growth
- Lower back pain - growth of fetus and additional weight of baby
- Pubic pain - growth of fetus/pressure of baby weight, increased Relaxin
- Throbbing legs and varicose veins - increase estrogen and increase blood flow
- Swelling of ankle, feet, hands, and hands (tingling) - fluid retention
- Constipation - d/t immobility, fluid retention, increased progesterones relaxing of
smooth muscles in digestive tract

- clotting factors
-basal metabolic rate
- pulmonary function
- acid balance
- renal changes
- breast changes
describe the uteroplacental circulation maternal changes ✅- ovarian and uterine
arteries supply spiral arteries = increases size and diameter when potential implantation
- endometrium thickens
- implantation of trophoblasts in endometrial lining of uterus, trophoblasts migrate to
spiral arteries and remodel
- maternal arterial circulation through spiral arteries into intravilla space than drains in
maternal veins
- increased maternal blood volume to accommodate blood flow to placenta
