My Wife is pregnant in her third trimester( week 36). She is suffering from swollen extremities recently especially her feet. Should we be concerned about swelling?

Dr. Nemer Charafeddine Obstetrics & Gynecology
pregnant patients can have swollen legs (especially ankles), but we should always rule out any other pathology related to this like PREECLAMPSIA ( associated with protein in the urine , so a urine analysis can detect that , along with a high blood pressure) or heart problem ( cardiac insufficiency or valvular problem)
So you should see your Gyn for this for sure
