The surprising effects of pregnancy

TED-Ed

This video discusses how pregnancy affects every organ in a woman's body, including the immune system, muscles, heart, kidneys, and brain.

The immune system's complex interaction of cells must protect both the mother and the fetus. The heart must work harder to pump
blood, and blood pressure changes are an important research area.

While pregnancy affects the brain, its effects are not well understood.
