In response, cardiac filling may be reduced and cardiac output diminishedPhysiological Changes in PregnancyIncreases during pregnancyDecreases during pregnancyBlood, plasma, red cell volumeHb massWBC countAll clotting factors except 11 and 13ESRPlatelet countHb concentrationClotting factor 11 and 13Renal blood flowGFRClearance of urea, uric acidSerum urea, uric acid and creatinineTidal volumeMinute ventilationRespiratory rateVital capacityResidual volumeTotal lung capacityFunctional residual capacity
