How to treat pregnancy edema

Patient's question:

I am very scared when this happens. I often get lower abdominal pain and don't know how to solve it, so I came here for consultation. How is edema during pregnancy treated?

Doctor's answer:

The activity should be appropriate, and pay attention to getting enough rest. When resting, it's best to elevate your hands and feet and place them on a stool or table. Soak your feet in hot water every night, make it quite warm, and soak for a longer time to promote blood circulation in your limbs, which will help improve the condition.
A rapid heartbeat in pregnant women can affect the fetus. It is recommended to go to the hospital for further tests such as an electrocardiogram to rule out the possibility of gestational hypertension. Normal pregnant women's heart rates may also increase, but as long as it does not exceed 100 beats per minute, it is considered normal.
