Swollen ankles and feet (Oedema) Water retention is another typical symptom of pregnancy, and
this can occur when water leaks from the blood accumulating in the
tissues, thus causing puffiness and swelling especially in the feet
and ankles.
In severe cases, oedema can be associated with high blood pressure
and toxaemia, and sometimes is related to a kidney, heart or liver
disorder, in which case the sufferer will clearly need medical
attention

- Salt encourages water retention, so keep your intake to a minimum.
- Put your feet up at every opportunity, and avoid standing for long
periods, as this causes blood to collect in your feet and ankles.
- Steer clear of restrictive clothing, and opt for flat rather than
high heeled shoes.
