Can steriods injection causes swelling during pregnancy?
I've been advised a certain injection for a condition, and I'm worried about potential side effects. Could injections like these cause swelling during pregnancy?
I had to take steroid injections before my early C-section and yes, I noticed quite a bit of swelling in my hands and feet. But please mention this to your doctor just to be safe. Keeping your feet elevated on a couple of pillows really helps to ease the discomfort.
Yes, steroids can definitely cause fluid retention, but swelling can also point to high BP or preeclampsia. Don't ignore it—give your gynac a quick call and get your blood pressure checked. Better to get it cleared by the doctor directly.
My mother told me to drink warm cumin water to help with bloating, but when it comes to steroid injections, swelling needs to be checked by your doctor. Please consult your gynac once to ensure your blood pressure is normal, and meanwhile rest as much as you can.
Oh god, my feet look like overinflated balloons already in this third trimester, and steroid shots can definitely add to it! But seriously, do mention it to your doctor at your next visit or call them, because we don't want to mess around with swelling.
I know how scary every little symptom can feel when you're expecting. Steroid shots can cause mild swelling, but please contact your doctor immediately to check your BP. It's always best to be extra careful and get a professional opinion right away.
Actually, steroids can make your body hold onto water, causing some swelling. Try walking slowly inside the house for 10 minutes and cut down on salt in your food. But do call your clinic and tell your gynac, just to rule out any blood pressure issues.
