Hello,
Thanks for the query, congratulations for becoming pregnant. Swelling during pregnancy is normal, unless it is associated with high BP, then it could be a pathological i.e PRE-ECLAMPSIA, if other pathological causes are ruled out then no need to worry( rule out anemia with hypoprotenemia, heart disease).
You can take a break after 8 months, but keep checking your BP regularly and have regular Ante-natal care.
Hope I answered your question, Kindly reply me if you have any further queries or any comments. I will be very happy to help you.
Sincerely,
Dr Arif
