My hands have started swelling quite a bit, making it uncomfortable to wear my rings. What can I do to reduce swelling in my hands during pregnancy? Any home remedies or tips would be helpful.
Sending you a warm hug, swelling can be so uncomfortable. Please monitor if it is sudden, and definitely let your doctor know so they can check your BP. For gentle relief, try to gently stretch your fingers and avoid tight sleeves.
Mild swelling is very common as your body holds more fluid. Try to avoid too much salt in your food and don't keep your hands hanging down for long. But if the swelling is sudden or very high, do get your blood pressure checked by the doctor.
My toddler keeps me on my feet now, but I remember how swollen my hands used to feel. It usually goes away right after delivery, don't worry. Just make sure you drink plenty of water to flush out fluids and mention it to your doctor on your next checkup.
I am in my second trimester and even I've started noticing my rings getting tight. Is anyone else feeling this too? I read that keeping hands elevated and drinking lots of water helps, but I'm planning to ask my gynac in my next visit just to be sure.
Yaar, my fingers looked like fat sausages during my third trimester, actually it was so annoying! I reduced my pickle and papad intake to cut down on sodium, and it really helped. But do tell your gynac about it once, just to make sure BP is normal.
