Try keeping your feet elevated on pillows and drink plenty of water to flush out fluids. But if the swelling is sudden or also on your face and hands, please check with your doctor immediately to rule out high BP.
Swollen feet can be very uncomfortable, but please monitor it carefully. Since any sudden swelling can sometimes be linked to high BP, it is always safer to inform your doctor. Try not to stand for too long and rest well.
Swollen feet are very common due to increased blood volume and fluid retention in the body. Avoid sitting with crossed legs and reduce extra salty foods. Always mention it to your gynac during your routine checkups just to be safe.
I felt so heavy and my feet got quite swollen in my last trimester. It made me feel very emotional because none of my slippers would fit anymore. Gentle foot massages with warm oil helped me feel a bit better.
Haan na, swollen feet can be so annoying during the third trimester. Just avoid standing for long periods and keep your legs elevated while sleeping. But do get your BP checked by your doc just to be sure.
Oh, with twins my feet looked like small watermelons by the end! It is mostly fluid retention and extra weight, but definitely keep checking your blood pressure. Try keeping your feet up on a pillow when resting.
