My face has started looking puffy especially in the mornings, im in my 7th month. It makes me feel a bit conscious honestly. Any tips to reduce the swelling or is it just part of pregnancy?
Sitting at work all day made my swelling worse, so I started moving every hour and keeping water handy. Cut the outside salty snacks. If it gets worse fast though, tell your doctor, dont just push through it.
Some swelling is normal later on. Drink plenty of water, cut down on too much salty/packaged food, rest with your legs up, and dont stand too long. But sudden facial swelling needs a BP check, dont ignore that one.
For mild puffiness I drank good water (sounds odd but helps), reduced salt and slept well. Cold water splash felt nice too. But if its sudden or with headache and blurry vision, go to the doctor immediately, dont wait.
I will be honest, mild puffiness is okay but face swelling that comes on fast can be a BP warning sign. With my pregnancy that was the case. Please mention it to your gynac and get your BP checked to be safe.
