My feet and ankles have started swelling up since this week, im in my 7th month. Doc said its normal but i still want to understand why it actually happens. Anyone know the reason?
Edema is mostly due to increased blood and fluid volume in the body. Just monitor your blood pressure and report any sudden swelling to your gynac immediately.
I felt so heavy and my sandals stopped fitting in the 8th month. My gynac monitored my BP closely because sudden swelling can sometimes mean high blood pressure.
I had quite thoda swelling in my legs during late pregnancy. Keeping feet up helped, but do check with your doctor to rule out any high blood pressure issues.
Oh god, my feet look like potatoes in this 3rd trimester! It's just the extra pressure and fluid, but make sure to keep your feet elevated and check your BP regularly.
When I was staying at ghar pe with my parents, my mother used to give me warm water with salt to soak my feet. But she also kept reminding me to get my BP checked by the doc.
I panicked so much when my feet swelled up like balloons! But actually, my doc told me it's just fluid retention, though she made sure to check my blood pressure to be safe.
