How does estrogen and progesterone affect the cardiovascular system of a pregnant woman? -
answer✔✔Pregnancy is associated with vasodilation of the systemic vasculature and the
maternal kidneys. The systemic vasodilation of pregnancy occurs as early as at 5 weeks and
therefore precedes full placentation and the complete development of the uteroplacental
circulation.2 In the first trimester, there is a substantial decrease in peripheral vascular resistance,
which decreases to a nadir during the middle of the second trimester with a subsequent plateau or
slight increase for the remainder of the pregnancy3 (Figure 1). The decrease is ≈35% to 40% of
baseline. Systemic vascular resistance increases to near-prepregnancy levels postpartum,4 and by
2 weeks after delivery, maternal hemodynamics have largely returned to nonpregnant levels.5
Increased vascular distensibility, or compliance, has been observed in normal human pregnancy
starting in the first trimester.6 Systemic vascular resistance increases to near-prepregnancy levels
postpartum.4 Vasodilation of the kidneys results in a 50% increase in renal plasma flow and
