By the end of the day my feet look so puffy that none of my chappals fit properly. Im in my 7th month now. What do u all do to get some relief? mere saath ye roz ho raha hai.
Keep your feet up whenever you sit, dont stand too long, and stay hydrated. Avoid too much salty food also. It got worse in evenings for me so I would put a pillow under my feet at night.
Mild swelling is normal but please watch it. If it comes suddenly, with headache or swelling in face and hands, call your doctor right away, that can be a BP thing. Mine was checked for exactly this.
My mother told me to lie on my left side and keep feet elevated, it really did help the swelling. Less salt also. But if it feels too much, please let your gynac check once na.
Sitting at work all day made mine bad. I kept a small stool under my desk to raise my feet and took short walks every hour. Comfy slippers instead of tight shoes also helped a lot.
Beta soak your feet in slightly warm water in the evening, very relaxing. Keep legs raised and drink enough water. But if swelling is too sudden or heavy, show your doctor without delay.
