My feet have started puffing up especially by evening, third trimester now. My MIL keeps saying its normal but i just want to understand why it actually happens. curious to know what u all experienced.
My feet turned into balloons in the 3rd trimester haha, none of my chappals fit. Keeping them propped up on a pillow helped a lot. Mild swelling is normal at this stage.
My doc said its from extra fluid and the growing uterus pressing on veins, more common in later months. Putting feet up, not standing too long and staying hydrated helped me. But sudden severe swelling with headache or blurry vision, call the gynac at once.
Some swelling is normal but i was told to watch for sudden or one sided swelling, that needs a doctor. Mine was checked to rule out bp issues. Please dont ignore severe swelling.
