Im in third trimester now and by evening my feet are so swollen i cant wear my slippers properly. Mom says its normal but i want to understand why it happens. Is it something to worry about?
Normal swelling is fine, but if it's sudden, very heavy, or comes with headache or blurry vision, please call your gynac immediately. That part should never be ignored.
At work I'd keep a small stool under my desk to raise my feet. Simple but it really helped after long sitting hours. Comfortable footwear is a must too.
My doctor said it's the extra fluid and blood your body holds plus the uterus pressing on veins. So feet and ankles puff up, especially in the third trimester. Mostly normal she told me.
