My feet have been swelling a lot in the evenings, 3rd trimester now. Someone told me to keep legs up against the wall for some time and it really helps but then i got worried if its safe for baby. Is this position okay?
Legs up is basically my favourite hobby now haha, my feet are like balloons. It feels so good after a long day. Just keep a cushion under and you are golden.
Yes, putting your legs up on a pillow really helps with swelling and tired feet. Just dont lie flat on your back for too long in later months, lie on your side. I did legs up against the wall for a few minutes daily.
My doctor actually recommended putting legs up to ease swelling, along with light walking. I do it after my evening walk. Just check posture so your back stays comfy, side lying is best in late pregnancy.
