6. Swollen Ankles/Feet/Fingers

Source: NHS

This is common in pregnancy; often gets worse at end of the day, and further into pregnancy as the gravid-uterus grows. 

Swelling that comes on gradually is normal part of the developing pregnancy; but a sudden increase in body swelling can sometimes be a sign of a disease called Preeclampsia in pregnancy – urgently contact your health provider if any concerns.
