Course description

In this course, Bachelor of midwifery students and dual degree students will gain an integrated understanding of how different physiological systems must adapt to allow initiation, continuation, and completion of a healthy pregnancy. As most pregnancy induced anatomical and physiological adaptations involve the endocrine system, this will feature heavily in this course. This course also describes in further details, the development of the fetus and newborn and the importance of using the correct pharmaceuticals in pregnancy to minimise harm to the fetus while allowing for appropriate treatment of the mother. This course also highlights the pathological processes which mediate adverse pregnancy outcomes.
