Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The pressure of the pregnant uterus on the vena cava can impede blood flow, causing hypotension and reducing blood flow to the fetus. Lying on the left side relieves the pressure on the vena cava, thereby improving circulation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
During the first trimester, weight gain is primarily maternal. Weight gain in the second trimester is both maternal and fetal. The fetus's greatest weight gain is in the third trimester.
