Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Excessive edema (particularly if noted in the hands and face in addition to the lower extremities) is considered pathologic and may be an indication of pregnancy-induced hypertension. Some edema is expected during pregnancy and 1+ is a modest amount of edema. Pinkish-red blotches or diffuse mottling of the hands due to an increase in estrogen is termed palmar erythema and is considered an expected finding. Blotchy, brownish pigmentation of the face-chloasma, or the mask of pregnancy-is an expected finding.
