ANS: 1
Amenorrhea and nausea are physiological changes that may indicate pregnancy in the first tri-mester. Braxton Hicks contractions are noted during the second trimester of pregnancy. In-creased urinary frequency is commonly seen in the third trimester of pregnancy. Edematous an-kles and dyspnea may be experienced during the third trimester of pregnancy.
