Im 20 weeks and feet still look normal but my mom keeps warning me swelling will come soon. Just wanna know roughly when it usually starts for most ladies so i can be ready.
For most of us it starts in the later months, third trimester mainly. Mine puffed up by 7th month, evenings were worst. Keep feet up when you rest, that helped. Both times it was around the same stage.
I felt mine swell from about month 6, my chappals stopped fitting and I felt so bad about it. My gynac said mild swelling is normal late pregnancy. Putting my legs up on a pillow gave relief.
Mine started third trimester and standing at work made it worse. I started taking small breaks to sit with legs up, wore comfy flats. If yours feels sudden or heavy though, get BP checked.
Usually later in pregnancy, but I'll add this carefully, if swelling comes suddenly, or with headache or it's in your face and hands too, please tell your doctor at once. With me they checked BP. Slow gradual swelling is the normal type.
I'm in my 8th month and my feet look like bread loaves now haha. Started maybe around 7 months. Keeping them raised and not standing too long helps. Just part of the package I guess.
