this needs reading..it doesnt give you explanation.i knew what she was talking about cuz i finished my obs and gynecology.for an institution this big its a shame.many non profit youtubers make better videos.i come here just for the quizes.yet from all the videos in lecturio this is the most disappointing....
The lecture stated the changes during pregnancy, while cause of the most of them are not explained in it. It would be better if the cause were stated along side to their effect. A medical student really needs them.
Very concise and accurate. The lecture is summarized well in a manner we can all grasp!
