The female body goes through a variety of physical changes during pregnancy, including alterations to the brain. Most of the changes are due to pregnancy hormones.
During pregnancy the plasma volume increases by 40-50% and the red blood cell volume increases only by 20–30%. [22] These changes occur mostly in the second trimester and prior to 32 weeks gestation.

With the invention of suction cup electrodes, doctors could get continuous recordings from the same brain location during labor and delivery. From 1955 to 1976, many scientific groups made EEG recordings from electrodes placed on the maternal abdomen, or placed on the cervix using a speculum , and techniques continued improving.
Researchers said on Monday they have for the first time mapped the changes that unfold as a woman's brain reorganizes in response to pregnancy, based on scans carried out 26 times starting three ...
