Can pregnancy edema cause weight gain

Pregnancy edema may lead to weight gain.
During pregnancy, the changes in hormone levels, the increase in estrogen and the increase in aldosterone in the body can easily cause water and sodium retention, and it is not easy to expel water from the body, which can lead to the phenomenon of weight gain too fast.
However, it should be noted that the recommended weight gain throughout pregnancy is within a reasonable range of 12.5kg, if the weight gain is too fast, then we should also be alert to whether there is over-nutrition, excessive amniotic fluid and so on.
In general, pay more attention to blood pressure and blood sugar, pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene in diet, avoid high-fat food, and increase the intake of fresh vegetables and fruits.
If a pregnant woman’s weight rises too quickly during pregnancy, it is recommended that she go to the hospital in time to identify the cause of the disease and standardize treatment.
