the lower extremities and use of support stockings. Use of diuretics to lower
intravascular volume in this instance is illogical and unnecessary. During
normal pregnancy there is hypervolemia which is not harmful to the fetus or the
mother in the absence of cardiovascular disease. However, it may be associated
with edema, rarely generalized edema. If such edema causes discomfort, increased
recumbency will often provide relief. Rarely this edema may cause extreme
discomfort which is not relieved by rest. In these instances, a short course of
diuretic therapy may provide relief and be appropriate.

particularly important when the patient is vomiting excessively or receiving
parenteral fluids. Warning signs or symptoms of fluid and electrolyte imbalance,
irrespective of cause, include dryness of mouth, thirst, weakness, lethargy,
