My face has started looking puffy esp in the mornings, and even my mom noticed it. Im in my 7th month. Is this just normal swelling or something i should mention to my gynac? curious what causes it actually.
Oh I noticed my face looks puffy lately and was wondering if its normal. Did others feel their rings getting tight too? Feeling a little better reading this thread.
Face swelling is mostly from extra water retention and the hormones, very common in later months. I had it both times, mornings were the worst. But if it comes very suddenly with headache or blurry vision, call your doctor right away.
My amma said it is the body holding water and to reduce extra salt. I did cut down salty food and it helped a bit. But I always told my gynac at each visit just to be safe na.
Please dont ignore sudden facial swelling, mine turned out to be linked to high BP. The doctor caught it at a check up. Just get your BP checked to be safe, normal puffiness is okay but sudden is different.
