Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Edema (swelling) of the hands, face, feet, and legs is not typically an early sign of pregnancy. Early signs of pregnancy usually include morning sickness, a missed menstrual period, and breast tenderness. Edema may occur later in pregnancy due to increased body fluids and blood volume.
