Im in my 7th month and by evening my feet and ankles get so puffy, even my chappals feel tight. Standing in the kitchen makes it worse. What do u all do to keep the swelling down?
My gynac told me gentle leg movement helps circulation, so i do small ankle rotations when sitting. Also short walks if doctor allows you. Dont sit cross legged for long, that made mine worse.
I sit at a desk whole day so my feet would puff up by evening. I started taking small walks every hour and removed my tight footwear, switched to loose chappals. Made a real difference honestly, try it if you sit a lot.
Beta in my time we used to soak feet in warm water at night and it felt so relaxing. Keep legs raised while sleeping with a pillow under them. But if swelling is too much do show your doctor once.
Haan na evening mein feet swell up so much. I cut down on extra salty food and namkeen, that helped reduce it. Cold water foot dip bhi acha lagta hai for relief.
Swelling was bad for me both times in last trimester. What actually helped was keeping legs up on a pillow whenever i sat, and not standing too long. Drink enough water also, sounds opposite but it helps na.
Little swelling is normal but please be careful, sudden swelling in face or hands with headache can mean BP issue. Mine turned out to be that and doctor caught it early. If it comes on fast pls get your BP checked, dont ignore.
