Cause No.2: Preeclampsia
A condition also associated with pregnancy, preeclampsia refers to the elevation of protein content in the urine which ultimately leads to the swelling of hands, legs, and ankles. A condition associated with later stages of pregnancy, and if it’s not treated properly then it can evolve into eclampsia, a more lethal health condition. While preeclampsia is quite ineffective, eclampsia can lead to dreadful seizures and can be extremely dangerous for both, the mother and the child.
