Abstract
Physiological changes occur in pregnancy to nurture the
developing foetus and prepare the mother for labour and
delivery. Some of these changes influence normal biochemical
values while others may mimic symptoms of medical disease.
It is important to differentiate between normal physiological
changes and disease pathology. This review highlights the
important changes that take place during normal pregnancy.
