Maternal hemodynamics are influenced significantly by maternal age, height and weight. We provide USCOM-1A-specific reference ranges and a calculator for SV, CO and SVR in uncomplicated pregnancies that correct for maternal age, height and weight. This should enable clinical application and comparison in both uncomplicated and pathological pregnancies. Copyright © 2017 ISUOG. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
