Updated December 01, 2016. Swelling in pregnancy can be very normal. You will really see this both as your pregnancy progresses and during the summer months. While you probably has assumed that your feet would swell, you may not expect that your hands will swell potentially as well. This can cause your fingers to swell to the point where wearing your rings is dangerous.
Swelling During Pregnancy. During pregnancy, the body produces approximately 50% more blood and body fluids to meet the needs of the developing baby. Swelling is a normal part of pregnancy that is caused by this additional blood and fluid. Normal swelling, which is also called edema, is experienced in the hands, face, legs, ankles, and feet. This extra retention of fluid is needed to soften the body, which enables it to expand as the baby develops.
