All right, so we in this problem, we have a client who's at 36 weeks gestation and is lying flat on our back.

Which are the following maternal signs and symptoms would the nurse expect? so this woman is at 36 weeks.
00:15
This means that she's pretty well along in the pregnancy.
00:21
So what that means is that she's kind of heavy, especially her uterus.
00:26
Her uterus is heavy.
00:27
So when she's lying on her back, that heavy uterus is lying on some of her veins.
00:37
Specifically, the inferior vina kava.
00:41

00:44

00:52
We'll say all that weight rests on her larger veins.
00:58
