Is it normal to have edema in the hands and feet in the seventh month of pregnancy?

Swollen hands and feet in the seventh month of pregnancy are normal if you do not feel any other discomfort. Swelling in the middle and late stages of pregnancy is a relatively common phenomenon, because in the middle and late stages of pregnancy, the fetus increases and the uterus also increases, which will compress the inferior vena cava and lead to obstruction of the return flow, which will show swollen hands and feet. In this case, you should try to take rest and not to overexert yourself, and try to take rest in the left side position to facilitate blood circulation and reduce the pressure of the fetus on the inferior vena cava. If you have swollen feet and swollen hands, you should also be promptly checked if you have any symptoms of physical discomfort. Usually increased blood pressure can cause this phenomenon, or it can also be caused by hypoproteinemia or anemia, which needs to be treated promptly.
