What Causes Swollen Ankles During Pregnancy?
I'm pregnant and my ankles have been swelling some. I just noticed slight ring above my ankle going around the front of my leg. It's not colored, it just sticks out a little bit. I don't know if the ring is from the swelling or if it's from something else. Do you have any ideas on this?

IT IS DUE TO PEDAL EDEMA.
CHECK YOUR HAEMOGLOBIN AND SERUM PROTEIN LEVEL AND BLOOD PRESSURE .
IF EVERYTHING IS NORMAL YOU NEED FOOT END ELEVATION,IT WILL SUBSIDE ON ITS OWN.
