Suddenly my big toe nail is paining and going into the skin, never had this before pregnancy. My feet are also swollen these days, third tri. Wondering if its all connected somehow, anyone else faced this?
Mine got worse because of tight office shoes plus swollen feet. I switched to soft slip ons and kept nails trimmed properly. If it gets red, painful or pus comes, dont try cutting it yourself, get it seen by a doctor.
It can happen due to the foot swelling. Just be careful, if it looks infected or you have any diabetes, please dont treat it at home, see a doctor. Foot infections need proper attention in pregnancy.
Yeah it can actually, the swelling in feet and weight gain put more pressure on toes. Happened to me a bit in my second pregnancy. Cut nails straight across not curved, and wear roomy comfy footwear, that helps a lot.
Aw the swollen feet phase is real yaar. Don't stress too much, just keep your toenails trimmed flat and avoid pointy shoes. Soaking feet in warm water felt so good for me too.
