C
Elevation of the lower extremities will help alleviate edema associated with increased circulatory volume and the weight of the growing uterus associated with the third trimester of pregnancy. Avoiding salty food may help prevent or decrease edema, but this is not the best answer. A low-sodium diet is not prescribed for the edema associated with a normal pregnancy.
