Water retention am i pregnant?

Several factors:: Increasing estrogen levels, increased aldosterone to cover the needed increase in plasma volume causes fluid retention. Finally the weight of the fetus and the placenta put pressure on the vena cava and blood vessels of the leg, causing compression "edema." avoid all uncessary salt and drink water!

Maybe: But there are other reasons for fluid retention, including thyroid, excess salt, estrogen dominance. Do a pregnancy test.
