Pregnancy can cause various symptoms, including increased body hair, restless legs
syndrome (RLS), urinary incontinence, swelling, and edema. Hair growth during pregnancy is
influenced by hormonal changes, and safe methods of hair removal include waxing, tweezing,
shaving, and threading. Restless leg syndrome (RLS) is a temporary condition that usually
disappears after delivery. To manage RLS, avoid caffeine and smoking, exercise, stretching,
meditation, and massage. Some women also take calcium, magnesium, or iron supplements,
eat bananas, or have an orgasm. Urinary incontinence is common, especially in women over
35, having a vaginal birth, or being overweight. To improve symptoms, avoid coffee, tea, and
soda, drink water, perform pelvic floor exercises, and consume enough fiber. Swelling is
common during the third trimester of pregnancy, especially in feet and ankles. Edema occurs
in two-thirds of pregnancies due to hormonal changes and increased fluid retention. The
growing uterus puts pressure on veins, causing fluid to pool and pool in the tissues.
