My feet looked like balloons in the 9th month! I used to soak them in warm water with rock salt every night and it gave huge relief.

Pairo me sujan bohot common hai pregnancy me. Hang karke mat baitho legs ko, thoda elevation pe rakho jab bhi lete ho.

If your gynac allows, a gentle 15-20 min walk in the evening can improve circulation and reduce water retention. Active movements help a lot.

A bit of swelling is fine, but please get your BP checked regularly. Sudden swelling can sometimes be a sign of high BP, so show your gynac.

Don't stand for too long and keep yourself hydrated, water actually helps flush out toxins. If the swelling increases suddenly on face or hands, let your doctor know immediately.

Instead of buying expensive maternity footrests, just use normal pillows to elevate your feet at home. Save that money for upcoming hospital delivery charges and baby items.
