My feet and ankles have started swelling esp by evening and my rings are getting tight too. third trimester now. what do u all do to keep this in control? any tips welcome.
Sitting at my desk all day made my feet swell, so I started getting up and walking every hour and propping my legs up at lunch. Comfortable footwear helped too. Cutting back on namkeen and salty snacks made a real difference.
Keep your feet elevated when resting, dont sit or stand too long, and stay hydrated, ironically drinking water helps reduce retention. Reduce extra salt too. Mild swelling is normal, but sudden swelling in face or hands tell your gynac.
Some swelling is normal but I learned to watch it carefully. When mine spread suddenly to my face and hands my doctor checked my BP, since swelling can sometimes link to that. So track it and report sudden changes to your gynac.
