33 weeks now and my feet are puffing up so much by evening, my chappals are getting tight. its summer also so maybe thats adding to it. what do u all do to keep the swelling down?
My amma told me to soak my feet in warm water in the evenings and it felt so relaxing. Resting on my side also helped reduce it. But I always mentioned the swelling to my gynac at checkups just in case.
Sitting at a desk all day made my feet swell badly. I started taking small walks every hour and propped my legs up under the desk. Comfortable footwear at work made a big difference too honestly.
Keep your feet up when sitting, drink lots of water and avoid standing too long. I also cut down a bit on salty food and it helped. Some swelling is normal in later months so dont fully panic.
Normal swelling in feet is okay, but if your face or hands swell suddenly or it comes with headache, please call your doctor right away. That happened to me and it was BP related. Better to get it checked than assume.
