Fluid Retention, Clumsiness and Hot Flushes My ankles are swollen The necessary increase in body fluids
causes mild oedema. Close to 75% of all women go through this at some point
in their pregnancy. It almost always happens later in the day or even in
warm weather. Relief can be found by elevating your legs or by lying down
on your left side for a few hours. Support tights also help. You could
try flushing out your system by drinking 8 glasses of water to ease out
the water retention. If your hands and face also begin to swell, notify
your doctor immediately.
I seem to have become very clumsy. Is it because of pregnancy Yes. Water retention combined with
a loosening of the joints can make your grasp less sure than before. Concentration
is also at its lowest ebb at this time. There's nothing that you can do
about it. Just wait it out. And of course stay away from that beautiful
Persian vase.
I feel hot and sweaty even in winter. Is this real Yes, it's highly likely, what with your basal metabolic rate up by 20%. You will perspire most at night (or whenever your body is at rest). Drinking extra fluids and bathing often will bring temporary relief. You can also use a good anti-perspirant. To add your views on this article or read others comments Click Here
