PY - 2017 T2 - Obesity Medicine: Management of Obesity in Women's Health Care AB - Pregnancy results in multiple normal physiologic changes, and these changes may have an impact on the diagnosis, evaluation, or treatment of endocrine disorders. Pregnancy itself is the result of, and maintained by, a well-choreographed set of endocrine signaling. Ovulation results from the orchestration of signaling from the hypothalamus, pituitary, ovary, and uterus axis. Pregnancy occurs when the ovulated egg is fertilized and implants in the previously prepared endometrium. Pregnancy continues through the first half of the first trimester dependent on the corpus luteum. The rest of pregnancy is maintained by placental hormonal support.
