My feet have started swelling up so much in the evenings now that im in my third trimester. By night my chappals feel tight and it gets uncomfortable to even walk. What did u all do to get some relief? please share whatever worked for u.
Keep your feet up whenever you sit, that helped me the most. Avoid standing too long and reduce extra salt. Loose comfy slippers also make a big difference.
My mother told me to soak feet in slightly warm water in the evening, it felt so relaxing. Light leg massage helped too. But I always kept my doctor updated about the swelling.
Sitting all day at office made mine worse. I started keeping a small stool under the desk to raise my legs and walked a bit every hour. Stay hydrated too, it actually helps.
Mild swelling is normal, but if it comes suddenly on face and hands with headache, please rush to your gynac. That can be a BP warning sign. I learnt to watch for that carefully.
