B
Feedback
A Cardiac output increases by 50 with half of this rise occurring in the first 8
weeks gestation.
B The pulse increases about 15 to 20 beats/min, which persists to term.
C In the first trimester, blood pressure usually remains the same as the
prepregnancy level, but it gradually decreases up to about 20 weeks of gestation.
During the second trimester, both the systolic and diastolic pressures decrease by
about 5 to 10 mm Hg.
D Production of RBCs accelerates during pregnancy.
