12. Match. Multipara pregnancy:

  • systolic BP remains constant but diastolic BP increases.
  • both systolic and diastolic BP decrease.
  • little change in systolic BP but diastolic falls, (lowest mid-pregnancy) then rises to approx. pre-pregnancy at term.

13. Blood flow to the uterus is increased from BLANK at the end of the 1st trimester to BLANK at term to aid oxygenation of the fetus via the placenta.
