AB There  are  a  significant  amount  of  changes  that  occur  during  pregnancy  to  a  woman’s  body  (Table  151-1).  Many  alterations  are  physiologic  and  due  to  hormonal  changes.  Other  effects  are  due  to  the  increased  size  of  the  uterus,  particularly  noticeable  later  in  pregnancy.  The  physiologic  and  mechanical  changes  both  impact  the  appropriate  anesthetic  management  of  the  parturient  and  the  fetus.
