My feet have started swelling badly especially by evening, third trimester chal raha hai. By night the sujan is so much I cant even wear my chappals properly. What did you guys do for thoda relief?
Just keep a pillow under your feet when lying down and avoid sitting with crossed legs. It's a free and simple trick that worked wonders for me. Also, try to walk a bit daily if your doctor has allowed.
I totally understand how painful and tiring those heavy, swollen feet can feel at the end of the day. Please ask your husband to gently massage them from bottom to top. Sending you so much love and comfort.
I literally just delivered last month and my feet were so swollen in the final weeks! Elevating them on two pillows while sleeping helped a lot. Don't worry, the swelling vanished within a week of delivery.
I got so scared when my feet swelled up like balloons, I thought my BP was shooting up! I kept checking my BP every hour. If your BP is normal, then it's just regular pregnancy swelling, but please keep your gynac in loop to be safe.
Leg swelling is mostly just fluid retention, which is quite normal. Keep drinking plenty of water to flush out fluids and wear comfortable footwear. But if you notice sudden swelling on your face or hands, do inform your doctor.
