Water retention of the extremities, or edema, is very common during pregnancy, and although it is most common in the third trimester, some pregnant women may experience it during any stage. What is happening is excess fluid is collecting in the body tissue, which typically occurs in the ankles and feet, and sometimes even in the hands. It is normal to have a certain amount of swelling during pregnancy as water is being retained to assist with the changes in blood chemistry. As the uterus grows and puts additional pressure on the pelvic veins, blood circulating from the lower extremities slows down and causes it to pool.

As more and more fluid is forced out, more water is retained in the tissue, causing it to expand and swell. Continue Reading
