My MIL keeps telling me to keep my legs up because of the swelling but i dont really know the right way to do it. Should it be a pillow, how high, for how long? help me out na with how u all do it at home.
Just grab whatever cushions you have and pile them up yaar, no need to overthink it. Feet up, glass of water, relax. Dont stress too much about doing it perfectly.
Just put a couple of pillows or a folded blanket under your feet when sitting or lying down, so they are above heart level. I did this every evening and it really reduced the swelling. Avoid crossing your legs while sitting too.
At office I kept a small stool under my desk to rest my feet on through the day. At home I propped them on a cushion while watching TV. Little things but they made a big difference for me honestly.
