Most of the time, hindi naman sya delikado unless may kasama sya mataas na BP, pwede syang sign ng Pre-eclampsia ( Hypertension in Pregnancy), hindi pantay na manas between the 2 legs at masakit, headache with vision changes and difficulty of breathing. IF manas lang at wala naman ang mga na banggit ko, ang manas ay hindi naman delikado...? Napapansin to around your 5th Month hanggang buong 3rd trimester Common causes of MANAS 1.
