If you are referring to oxygen getting to the fetus during pregnancy there are a few conditions that can cause oxygen levels to drop. An abrupture (tearing) of the placenta away from the uterine wall. When a woman gets past dates (going over 41 or 42 weeks) the placenta starts to degrade. A woman who smokes and/or uses illicit drugs during pregnancy can also cause the oxygen flow to be cut off.

How does the uterus change and adapt during pregnancy to support the growing fetus"?

During pregnancy, the uterus undergoes significant changes to support the growing fetus. The uterus expands in size to accommodate the developing baby, its muscle walls thicken to provide support, and the blood supply to the uterus increases to supply nutrients and oxygen to the fetus. Additionally, the cervix softens and dilates to prepare for childbirth. These adaptations allow the uterus to provide a safe and nurturing environment for the growing fetus throughout pregnancy.
