Symptoms and Conditions
Women experience a cascade of symptoms during pregnancy based on the numerous physiological body changes required for fetal development and labor and delivery.
Women may also be diagnosed with pregnancy-specific conditions or non-obstetric conditions that happen to occur during pregnancy.
Although many women experience complication-free pregnancies, being informed ahead of time about some of these possibilities can help women be more aware of their risk factors and feel better prepared in the event they either experience a particular symptom or are diagnosed with a specific condition.
