Summary
Normal physiologic changes that occur during pregnancy allows women to tolerate the inevitable blood loss associated with delivery. In early haemorrhage, vascular tone, heart rate and myocardial contractility increases to improve oxygen delivery. Cardiac output is redistributed, selectively maintaining perfusion to the adrenal glands, brain and heart at the expense of other organs, including the uterus.
