My legs and feet have started swelling up a lot in third trimester and shoes dont fit anymore. Gynac said its water retention and normal but i still want to manage it a bit. Anything safe that helped reduce the puffiness for u?
During my pregnancy my feet would swell so much by evening after sitting at desk all day. What actually helped was keeping my legs up whenever I sat and walking a little between meetings. But dont try to crash your water intake, that backfires.
Just one caution na, sudden swelling especially in hands and face is not something to brush off. Mine turned out to be a BP thing and gynac caught it early. So pls if its sudden, get it checked.
Beta in our time we would just rest with feet raised on a pillow and eat lighter, less namak in food. It does ease the puffiness slowly. But if it feels too much always show your doctor first.
