It is very common for pregnant women to retain fluid. Many women will find that their feet and ankles will be most swollen at the end of the day and that their hands and face will be more swollen in the morning when they get out of bed. Try elevating your feet and lying on your left side as much as possible during the day. You can also try maternity support stockings. If you have a sudden increase in the amount of fluid retention that doesn’t seem to improve significantly with bed rest and the above recommendations, please call your Obstetrician.
