Edema is a common condition during pregnancy caused by the accumulation of fluid in the tissues, mainly in the lower extremities, due to hormonal changes, pressure on veins, and the increasing weight of the uterus. Constipation, gestational diabetes, and pica are also common during pregnancy, but they are not directly related to the accumulation of extracellular fluid.
