Why?!?!

Why, while pregnant, does my body feel the need to retain so much fluid? I know it's common during pregnancy, but seriously, WHAT is the biological point of swollen hands and feet? How does this help my baby and/or me? Because, well, it sucks, and I can't think of any possible benefit of it.

    I was also very swollen and went on the GD diet, hardly any sugar, carbs or salty things.  I haven't been swollen since.  Now I'm 35 weeks and more slim and unswollen that I've been my whole pregnancy.  Maybe eliminate some sugar and carbs and I promise you will notice a difference (although I know that it is hard to do!).

    I'm not super swollen, but you're right, a change in diet might help. I'm just perplexed by the swelling as a symptom. It makes no sense to me.
