ABSTRACT
The study is the response to isometric hand grip test in 30 healthy pregnant volunteers in 20th to 29th weeks of singleton pregnancy with a mean of 25.2 gestational weeks. The increase in both the systolic and diastolic blood pressure was significantly lower in the pregnant group than in the control group. Both groups showed similar heart rate responses to isometric hand grip stress.

The study was the response to breathing test in 30 healthy pregnant volunteers in 20th to 29th weeks of singleton pregnancy with a mean of 25.2 gestational weeks. Deep breathing difference (DBD) was similar in both the groups. The heart rate variability was significantly lower in the second trimester of pregnancy reflected by the smaller standard deviation of R-R interval (SD R-R) during the quiet breathing test.
