Im in my 7th month and my feet n ankles are so puffy by evening, my slippers dont even fit properly now. Sitting whole day at work doesnt help. What do u all do to keep the swelling down? pls share kya kaam karta hai.
Gentle ankle rotations and slow walking really helped my circulation. My gynac cleared me for light walking so I did 15 min daily, swelling went down a lot.
Mild swelling in feet is normal but if it suddenly increases in face or hands, ya with headache, pls dont ignore, get BP checked with gynac. Mine turned out to be BP related so just keeping it on safe side.
My amma told me to soak feet in slightly warm water in the evening, it felt nice and relaxing. But for the swelling itself my doctor said keep moving and dont sit in one place too long.
Keep ur feet up whenever u sit, that helped me most. Dont stand for long and drink lot of water, sounds weird but more water actually reduces swelling. Reduce extra salt also.
Sitting whole day at desk made mine worse. I started taking small walks every hour and removed my rings early haha. Compression socks also if ur doc is ok with it.
