Description
Obstetric examination. Midwife measuring the blood pressure of a pregnant woman with a sphygmomanometer. The blood pressure is displayed on the dial in millimetres of mercury (mm/Hg). Regular check-ups are neccesary during pregnancy so that the development of the baby and the health of the mother can be monitored. The mother's blood pressure tends to rise during pregnancy, but gradually retruns to its previous level after birth. This woman is 37 weeks pregnant and her examination is being undertaken at home.
