Third trimester and my feet are swelling up so bad by evening, even my chappals feel tight. Kya karu to get some relief? Doc said its common but i want to know what actually helps na.
Please be careful with swelling, especially if it's sudden or on your face. I had some BP issues in my third trimester which started with edema. Let your doctor check you out immediately just to be safe.
Ghar pe simple things work best. Sit with your feet in warm water with a little rock salt, it gives huge relief. Also, avoid sitting cross-legged and reduce salty snacks.
I had thyroid issues, so my doc kept a very close eye on my swelling and BP. Regular checkups are a must because swelling can sometimes relate to other issues. Definitely tell your gynac during your next visit.
For my feet swelling, i just used to keep them elevated on pillows while sleeping. It really helped me feel better. But honestly, check with your doctor to make sure your BP is fine.
When i was pregnant, my feet got so swollen in the third trimester. Keeping them warm, doing very light walks, and drinking lots of water helped. Make sure you don't stand for too long.
