Is there anything I can do
about it,
Keeping your feet up, taking regular naps, drinking more fluids, increasing

It CAN be an indicator of pre-eclampsia, but it is also a regular and normal
part of most pregnancies. With my first pregnancy I began to swell at four or

BPs around 100/60 the whole time. There's just no telling.
