TL;DR: Peripheral vasodilation occurs early in pregnancy prior to full placentation in association with renal vasodilated and activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, suggesting that ANP increases in response to changes in intravasular volume.

Serial changes in renal haemodynamics during normal human pregnancy
TL;DR: Effective renal plasma flow (ERPF) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and GFR/ERPF was significantly reduced during early pregnancy but rose to a value equivalent to the non‐pregnant during the third trimester.
