Many pregnant mothers will find that they have gained a lot of weight in the second half of their lives, and the pants and shoes that could have been worn can no longer be worn in the later stages of pregnancy. Why is this? Is there a pregnant mother who does not experience edema throughout the entire pregnancy. Is gestational edema a normal phenomenon? Is it healthy?
Pregnancy related obesity is actually caused by edema during pregnancy, which mostly occurs in the calves and feet. And the edema during pregnancy is caused by the fluid inside the blood vessels flowing out of the blood vessels during pregnancy. Most pregnant mothers' edema is a normal phenomenon, and a few are abnormal. If they have hypertension or kidney diseases, they should seek medical attention in a timely manner.
Edema usually occurs after prolonged standing and sitting. Normal edema quickly returns to its original state after pressing and relaxing, while abnormal edema persists for a long time. Edema can be prevented. It is necessary to arrange a reasonable sleep schedule, avoiding prolonged sitting and standing. After sitting for a long time, it is advisable to engage in appropriate activities.
Not all pregnant women experience edema, and some individuals do not experience edema throughout their entire pregnancy. In daily diet, it is also important to avoid eating pickled and overly salty foods. It is recommended to have low salt and high protein foods, eat more meat and eggs, and also supplement with dairy products appropriately. When you have nothing to do, you can also massage your calves to relieve and prevent edema.
