Gestational lower limb edema and venous reflux in healthy primigravidae.

Both were present in the second and in the third trimesters of pregnancy and resolved spontaneously in the postpartum period. Both are products of the same physiological changes that occur in pregnancy. PMID: 28895368 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
