Mrs. So is a 28 year old visiting her OB in the 26th week of her pregnancy. She is experiencing varicose veins and swelling in her lower extremities. Her doctor explains that this is caused by the expanded uterus pressing on the large veins that run through the abdomen on their way up to the heart.
1) Which pressure is altered in this case, and how is it causing edema?
