INTRODUCTION
Edema is the accumulation of fluid in the intestinal cell. A person
with edema manifested swelling in different parts of the body. In
pregnant woman, edema usually occurs between the second and third
trimester. Clinically, it is divided into three degrees namely:
a. Mild Case → obvious edema appears on the legs and feet but
can disappear after rest.
b. Moderate Case → edema extends to thighs and vulva or even
in the abdomen.
c. General Edema → accumulation of fluids in the abdomen
OBJECTIVES
General:
This study aims to deepen our knowledge and
understanding about edema.
Specific:
After this, we should be able to:
1. Define what edema is.
2. Identify its cause.
3. Discuss it’s effect in the mother and baby.
4. Determine the appropriate interventions to be done.
5. Know what is/are the possible complication.

BLOOD
Blood contains the fluid part called Plasma, and many blood cells
Plasma is a yellowish, slightly alkaline liquid that comprises 55%
of blood, and is a mixture of nutrients (amino acids, sugars, fatty
acids, glycerol, salts), hormones, antibodies, enzymes and some
dissolved gases in water
Red Blood Cells (Erythrocytes) are made in the bone marrow in
the centre of certain long bones. Red blood cells have nuclei
when first formed, but lose their nuclei when mature. They live
only about 4 months before being destroyed by the spleen and
the liver. Red blood cells contain red chemical called
haemoglobin that attaches either to oxygen or carbon dioxide
molecules to transport them around the body.
White Blood Cells (Leukocytes) are made in bone marrow and the
spleen. They live only 2 to 4 days, because their purpose is to
fight infection. They either surround or ingest foreign particles or
bacteria (macrophages that perform phagocytosis), or produce
chemicals such as antibodies and antitoxins to neutralise the
invading particles or bacteria.
BLOOD VESSELS
Arteries take blood away from the heart. They usually contain
blood rich in oxygen. Arteries have elastic muscular walls that
can dilate and constrict as each pulse of blood goes through.
Veins take blood back to the heart. They contain valves that
allow a one-way flow of blood. Veins are less muscular than
arteries.
Capillaries are the smallest and most numerous of blood vessels.
The capillary diameter is only the width of one red blood cell, so
blood travels slowly through capillaries. The capillary wall is only
one cell thick to allow exchange of nutrients and oxygen into,
and wastes such as carbon dioxide out of the body cells.
