My feet and fingers feel so puffy these days, my rings are getting tight. Im in my 7th month. What do u all do to keep the swelling down? looking for simple things i can do ghar pe.
Keep your legs up when you sit, dont stand too long, and oddly enough drink more water not less. Cut down on too much salty food. My swelling reduced a lot doing this.
Gentle walking really helped my circulation, my doctor okayed it. Also sleeping on the left side they say is good for swelling. Check with your gynac before any new routine though.
Beta reduce extra namak and oily things, and rest with feet raised on a pillow. These small ghar ke cheezein helped my daughter. But if it gets too much always tell the doctor.
Mild swelling is normal but please watch for sudden swelling in face or hands or with headache, thats a reason to call your doctor quickly. Mine kept an eye on my BP because of it. Dont ignore that part.
My amma told me to stay hydrated and avoid sitting cross legged for long. It really did help the puffiness. But anything sudden or with pain, straight to the doctor ok.
At my desk job my feet would swell badly. I started taking small walks every hour and keeping a stool under the table to raise my feet. Comfortable footwear helped too.
