Z34: Supervision of normal pregnancy

Supervision of normal pregnancy relates to the process of providing routine health care during a woman's pregnancy. This stage of care typically involves regular check-ups and monitoring to ensure both the mother's and the baby's health are maintained. General characteristics of a normal pregnancy include no significant medical complications or high risk situations related to the mother or the baby. Regular symptoms, signs, and physiological changes such as weight gain, nausea, and increasing abdomen size are typically identified. Disease progression doesn't apply in this case as pregnancy is not a disease. The affected systems during this time can include a variety of body systems as the body accommodates the growing fetus. These can range from the reproductive system, including hormonal changes and uterus expansion, to cardiovascular changes such as increased blood volume and heart rate. This entire process ensures safe delivery and health of the baby.
