body would need to require extra supply of blood in the form of essential
nutrients to a fetus; it does take a toll on blood sugar and blood pressure

urinate often. If an increase in blood pressure is witnessed it puts pressure
on the kidneys. Since the uterus is growing it puts pressure on the abdomen
which increases an urge to pee very often.

spreading.

time. The main reason why cramps occur during pregnancy would be lack of supply
