	Answer by Dr Rowena S, MD (doctor) on Wed 24, Jun 2009 06:18am: Hi, Edema or excess fluid that collects in the tissue is normal during pregnancy especially during the third trimester.You can help relieve the increased pressure on your veins by lying on your side. The swelling will disappear after giving birth. Have this evaluated further by your doctor if you notice swelling in your face or puffiness around your eyes, more than slight swelling of your hands, or excessive or sudden swelling of your feet or ankles.
