My feet and ankles have started swelling so much by evening that my slippers dont fit. Im in third trimester now. Just want to understand why this happens, is it normal or something to worry?
Haan yeh toh hota hai na, pair sooj jaate hai end ke months me. Mere bhi hue the. Pani zyada peeo, namak thoda kam karo, pair upar rakho. Par achanak zyada sujan ho to doctor ko bata dena.
Sitting whole day at desk made mine worse honestly. I started keeping my legs raised on a stool and taking small walks every hour. Helped a bit. But keep ur doctor posted if it gets too much.
My feet and ankles swelled up so much in the last months, I couldnt wear my normal slippers! Doc said its normal coz of extra fluid and the baby's weight pressing down. It went away after delivery for me.
Its very common yaar, the body holds more water and circulation slows in the legs. Keep ur feet up when sitting, dont stand too long. But if the swelling is sudden or on face and hands, that u must tell the doctor quickly.
My gynac explained the growing uterus presses on the veins so fluid pools in the legs, totally normal mostly. But she warned that sudden swelling with headache or BP could be a warning sign, so she always checked it.
