Abstract

There is normally a 36% increase in the blood volume during pregnancy with a maximum at the 34th gestational week (Peck and Arias, 1979). This dramatic change is caused by the 47% plasma volume increase and 17% red blood cell mass increase. The latter reaches its maximum at term. This difference results in a relative hemodilution throughout pregnancy with a maximum between 18th and 34th gestational weeks.
