Third trimester now and my legs and feet swell up so bad by evening, especially in this heat. By night it feels heavy and uncomfortable. Anything that gave u relief? pls share, kuch toh upay hoga na.
Swelling used to stress me out so much, I kept measuring my ankles every day thinking it was some danger sign! Regular light walks and keeping feet up helped me stay calm. If you feel too worried, just call your doctor once so you can sleep peacefully.
Actually leg swelling can be so irritating, yaar. I used to soak my feet in warm water with rock salt in the evening, it gave instant relief. Avoid sitting with crossed legs, it blocks blood flow and makes swelling worse.
Haan na, swollen feet are so painful in the third trimester. Mere left side pe sone se and walking daily karne se thoda aaram milta tha. Make sure u are drinking enough water, counter-intuitive lagta hai par water retention kam hota hai isse.
Moderate swelling is normal, but please be cautious. If the swelling is sudden, very severe, or accompanied by high BP or headache, immediately contact your gynac. Safe side checking with doctor is highly recommended because it can sometimes mean complications.
Leg swelling is so common, especially in the last few months. Try to keep your feet elevated on a pillow whenever you lie down, it worked like magic for me. Also, wear comfortable flat footwear and don't stand for too long at a stretch.
Elevate those pretty feet with double pillows while sleeping! Also a gentle massage from husband with warm mustard oil works wonders. Keep drinking loads of water and avoid salty pickles or chips!
Meri mummy and saas used to tell me to never sit with hanging legs for long hours. I always kept a small stool under my desk at home to keep my feet raised. It actually stopped my feet from swelling up like balloons.
