CPD Concept Map

The document discusses the pelvis and changes that occur during pregnancy. It notes that the two large pelvic bones have an opening that widens during pregnancy due to softening ligaments and cartilage. This allows the baby's head to pass through the birth canal during labor and delivery. The third trimester brings further widening to fully accommodate the baby. In some cases called cephalo-pelvic disproportion, the pelvis may not widen enough, requiring a cesarean section delivery.
