What to do if pregnant women have edema

　　What to do if pregnant women have edema ? More than 90% female Edema in ankles and legs will occur during pregnancy. If there are no other symptoms after examination, it can be regarded as normal and will generally get better in the later stages of pregnancy.

　　In fact, edema is related to the increase in body water during pregnancy, pelvic vein compression, and obstruction of venous return in the lower limbs. If a pregnant mother experiences discomfort due to edema, she should raise her legs as much as possible to facilitate the return of venous blood in the lower limbs. It is best to lie down on your side, place a small pillow on your calf, and rest for half an hour.

　　In terms of diet, you should eat foods that are too salty, too spicy, and pickled products in moderation. You can usually drink more red bean soup, which has a diuretic effect. In addition, pregnant women are advised to drink more boiled water to help the excretory system discharge waste from the body and prevent water from stagnating in the body, but they should also be careful not to drink too much water. 》》》 Pregnant woman appears7Be careful with these symptoms
