Pregnancy is a remarkable phase in the life of a woman that uncovers many aspects of her health and brings about changes. An expectant mother not only bears a child within her but also overworks to support its survival. Her heart, in this case, plays a significant role in working harder to increase blood flow and nourish the developing baby.
