About this document
Physiological Changes in Pregnancy by Bhawna Joshi is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The reproductive system undergoes significant changes during pregnancy, including hypertrophy of the uterus, cervix, and fallopian tubes to accommodate fetal growth, increased vascularity and secretion throughout, and softening of the cervix to facilitate delivery. The vagina also experiences hypertrophy, increased blood flow, and a shift to acidic pH levels to prevent infection.
