Discover how pregnancy changes every organ in the body of your loved one — from the heart, to the brain and kidneys — and what we still don’t know about it.

Initiated by a range of hormones, these changes begin as soon as a pregnancy begins. Explore what we know— and don’t know— about pregnancy’s effects on the body and brain.
