Peripheral Blood Flow in Normal Pregnancy*

Jean Ginsburg{dagger} and Sheila L. B. Duncan

From the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Charing Cross Hospital Medical School, London

{dagger} Present address: Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Royal Free Hospital School of Medicine, London.

Authors' Synopsis: During pregnancy the mean blood flow through the hands, measured under standard conditions with the subjects supine, rose progressively from 2·7 ml./100 ml.min. to 18·1 ml. at term. The flow subsided during the puerperium, but by the sixth week it was still, at 9·1 ml., significantly elevated above the level of early pregnancy. The blood flow through the feet showed similar, though less striking, changes. The flows were somewhat higher in twin-pregnancies than in singleones. The blood flow through the forearm and calf of the leg remained little changed throughout.
