My feet and ankles have started swelling, especially by evening time. Im in my 7th month. Its uncomfortable to even wear chappals now. what did u all do to get some relief?
My feet look like little potatoes right now, honestly! Does anyone else find that sleeping on the left side helps with this? I read somewhere it improves blood flow but I'm not sure if it works.
I totally understand how uncomfortable and tiring those heavy, swollen feet can feel, sweetie. Try to rest as much as you can and ask your partner for a gentle foot massage. You are doing an amazing job, hang in there!
I am preparing for pregnancy and tracking all these symptoms to know what to expect. Is swelling something that happens to everyone, or can we prevent it with a good diet from the start? Hoping to learn from your experiences!
Haan, mere feet me bhi bahut sujan ho gayi thi delivery se pehle. Thoda gungune pani me namak daal kar pair duba ke baitho, bahut aaram milega na. Aur haan, jyada der khade mat hona bilkul bhi.
Mild swelling is common due to fluid retention. If your doctor has allowed physical activity, a gentle 15-minute walk can really improve circulation and reduce the puffiness. Avoid sitting with crossed legs too.
Just sit quietly, elevate your legs, and listen to some calming music to relax your mind. Staying positive helps your body heal beautifully. Take care of yourself, and let your doctor check your blood pressure if the swelling increases suddenly.
Oh babe, those puffy feet are so annoying! Don't stress too much, just keep a small stool under your desk at work and avoid salty chips for a bit. Drinking lemon water also helps flush out the extra fluids!
I remember not being able to fit into any of my shoes during my third trimester! It usually goes away right after delivery, so don't worry. Just wear loose, comfortable footwear and avoid standing for long periods.
My mother told me to avoid eating too much salty food, like pickles and papad, as it increases water retention. She also made me prop my feet up on a stool while sitting. It actually worked like magic!
Please monitor your swelling closely. While mild swelling is normal, sudden swelling in your hands or face can be a sign of high blood pressure. Please consult your gynac immediately to get your BP checked.
Sending you so much love, dear. Try keeping your feet elevated on a couple of pillows whenever you are resting. Since every step in pregnancy is precious, please let your doctor know about the swelling during your next visit just to be sure.
I have heard my sister-in-law say that drinking lots of water actually helps reduce swelling. It sounds counterintuitive, but keeping hydrated is really important. I hope you get some relief soon!
