With my twins, my feet looked like small potatoes by the end of the second trimester! It usually starts getting noticeable around the 5th or 6th month as water retention increases. But if it's very sudden, do let your doctor know.

I totally understand how tiring it is when your feet feel so heavy and swollen, especially in the last few months. It's just your body working so hard to grow your beautiful baby. Just rest as much as you can and show it to your gynac.

Usually feet swell in the third trimester due to water retention. But if the swelling is very sudden or in your face/hands, please call your doctor.

I am planning to conceive soon and I'm honestly terrified of the feet swelling part! Does it happen to everyone, or is it only in the third trimester? I hope I can still wear my favorite shoes.

My feet started swelling around the 7th month, so my father used to keep a warm water tub with salt for me to soak them. It felt so good. But my mother made sure we asked the doctor about it to ensure BP was normal.

In the third trimester, my feet decided to expand to a whole new zip code! It is super common in the final months because of gravity and extra fluids. Just keep them elevated and don't panic, it goes away after delivery.
