By evening mere pair pain a lot and feel heavy, especially after standing in kitchen. Im 6 months along. Is this just normal pregnancy stuff or do i need to mention it to doc?
Feet pain is generally caused by the extra weight and the hormone relaxin loosening your joints. While comfortable footwear and elevation help, it's always best to discuss it with your gynac to rule out any severe swelling or fluid retention issues.
Warm mustard oil massage before sleeping and soaking your feet in warm water can really help soothe the pain. However, if you notice sudden, severe swelling in your feet or face, please don't try home remedies and contact your doctor immediately.
Oh, those sore feet! As your weight increases and hormones loosen your ligaments, your feet take a heavy beating. I used to soak my feet in warm water with Epsom salt every evening, and it really helped. Hang in there, it all goes away once the baby is here.
I can't give medical advice, but personally, I had horrible feet pain in my late second trimester. I shifted to wearing flat, cushioned slip-ons even inside the house, and kept my feet elevated on cushions whenever I sat on the sofa.
I just had my baby and remember this so well. My feet expanded by a whole shoe size in the third trimester because of swelling and weight. Putting my feet up on a pillow while sleeping was the only thing that gave me relief.
