Caused by the displacement of the intestines by the uterus

What is the cause of constipation during pregnancy

A woman with Graves disease was treated with radioactive iodine and now takes Synthroid daily. Two years later she becomes pregnant. Her fetus is at risk for hyperthyroid and poor growth due to:

a) This weight gain is too low and could put the fetus at risk for intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). (Although a woman whose pre-pregnancy weight is overweight or obese (BMI >24) is recommended to gain less weight, 15-25 pounds, 4 pounds at midway through the pregnancy is too little.

Hyperemesis gravidarum is distinguished from normal nausea and vomiting of pregnancy by: (select all the apply)

25% bc If the son receives a hemophilia gene from the mother, he will have hemophilia. Even though this is a recessive condition, since it's on the X-gene, he won't have a normal X-gene to overcome it (since boys are XY, with only 1 X-gene); 0 bc Since Dad has no hemophilia gene, the daughter can't inherit one from him.

In X-linked recessive conditions such as hemophilia, the trait is carried on the X chromosome. Therefore, the condition usually affects male offspring. If the baby's father does not have hemophilia and the mother is a carrier, what is the chance their son will have hemophilia?; what are the chances their daughter will have it?

a) Maternal blood pressure b) Maternal weight

describe the changes for: hemoglobin and hematocrit

increases

describe the changes for: pulse

take deeper breathes and longer exhalations; O2 consumption increases by 15% due to increased metabolic rate

describe the changes for: respirations

it is due to the GI system because it has been linked to high levels of hCG, high levels of circulating estrogen, reduced stomach acidity, and the lowered tone and motility of the digestive tract; ginger is also effective in reducing mild to moderate nausea and vomiting
