Consequences of increased cardiac work in the seventh month of gestation

The seventh month of pregnancy is part of the third and last trimester of gestation. At this time, blood flow increases to provide the correct nutrition and nourishment for the baby. That is why the work done by the heart also increases, which can cause:

• Appearance of edema.
• Varicose veins in the legs.
• Problems with blood pressure.

In addition, the pregnant woman may have lipotimia and lose consciousness. Because of all this, the woman will also retain liquids and her legs will swell.
