What is gravid uterus meaning?

Gravid uterus is a medical term used to describe the uterus during pregnancy when it is enlarged and contains a developing fetus. The term gravid means "pregnant" or "carrying a child," and the uterus undergoes many changes during pregnancy to accommodate the growth and development of the fetus. As the fertilized egg implants in the uterus and begins to grow, the uterus expands in size, and the muscles in the uterine wall begin to thicken and contract to prepare for childbirth. The gravid uterus can be monitored through various medical tests, such as ultrasound, to ensure the health and development of the growing fetus.
