My feet and ankles have started swelling by end of day, especially after standing in kitchen. Im in 7th month now. Is this just normal pregnancy thing or something i should check?
I had leg swelling too, and my doctor checked my thyroid and blood pressure immediately to rule out issues. Please get your BP checked regularly because sudden swelling can be serious.
Try soaking your feet in warm water with rock salt to reduce mild swelling. But if the swelling is very severe or accompanied by headaches, call your gynac right away.
Beta, mild swelling is normal due to water retention and extra pressure. You can keep your feet on a pillow while sleeping, but if the swelling increases suddenly, please consult your doctor immediately.
I have heard from my sisters that keeping feet elevated helps with swelling. But it's always safer to mention it to your doctor during your next visit just to be sure.
Oh dear, don't stand for too long and rest your feet. Leg swelling is very common as the baby grows, but if it gets too heavy, do tell your doctor about it in your next checkup.
