ABSTRACT

The woman's body undergoes a series of physiological changes at all levels that hace the purpose of adapting and responding to the the 40 weeks of gestation. These changes occur gradually, but in a continuously, throughout the pregnancy and range from cardiovascular, digestive, pulmonary, hematological and endocrine changes, which at the end also end up gradually reversing during the puerperium. The phys- iological changes are related to the development of different symptoms, signs and alterations in the pregnant woman, as well as changes in the parameters of the paraclinical studies, which makes it especially relevant for the general practitioner or first contact doctor to recognize these changes and the moment in which they occur in pregnancy so that they can make a timely identification of the alterations that can represent pathological states that are a threat to maternal and fetal well-being. For all of the above, the objective of this thematic review was to collect and describe the main physiological changes that occur in women during a normal pregnancy, as well as the changes that occur in the most common paraclinical studies.
