Many physiological changes occur during pregnancy, especially changes in pulmonary which occur in the fourth week of pregnancy due to an elevation of the diaphragm and thoracic wall. The aim of this study was: (1) developed and implementation of Maximum Airflow Meter for measuring the airflow parameter during expiration to detect various types of diseases and obstruction in the respiratory airway and (2) used of Statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) which is a statistical analysis software run t-test to make a comparison between the airflow parameter of pregnant and non-pregnant women. The research was carried out on twenty-three women who perform Maximum Airflow Meter to obtain their airflow parameter. The results showed the change in airflow between the pregnant and non-pregnant and the results of the SPSS displayed a significant difference (P<0.004) between these pregnant and non-pregnant women.
