Why do women's legs swell during pregnancy?

During pregnancy, the pressure of the growing uterus can slow down the return of blood from the legs. This may cause fluid to shift into the skin and muscles, producing swelling. It may also cause the blood to back up in the veins, producing varicose veins or making varicose veins you already have worse.

In addition, the growing baby's need for fluid, vitamins, and minerals may cause the level of certain nutrients in the bloodstream to become too low, which leads to cramps. These changes can make for very uncomfortable legs, ankles, and feet.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
