During pregnancy, the amount of blood and fluids in a woman's body increases, which is natural for the growth and development of the baby. However, this process can lead to water retention in the body, which manifests as swelling in the legs, ankles, and feet. Swelling is more common in the third trimester and with prolonged standing or sitting.
