Im 6 months along and suddenly my face looks so puffy and round, even my husband noticed. Pehle aisa nahi tha. Is this just water retention or weight, anyone else faced this?
This is mostly due to increased blood volume and water retention (edema). However, if you notice sudden, severe swelling on your face and hands, please check your blood pressure with your doctor immediately.
I had a round puffy face in my third trimester at work! Just reduce salty foods as sodium makes water retention worse. Keep a water bottle at your desk and take frequent walks.
It is very common, dear! Hormones cause our body to retain water, leading to puffiness on the face, hands, and feet. Keep drinking plenty of water to flush out fluids and it will go away after delivery.
Hamare yahan kehte hain jab baby aane wala hota hai toh chehre pe sujan aati hai. Yeh bilkul normal hai, beta. Dher sara pani piyo aur bilkul pareshan mat ho.
Oh, I hated looking in the mirror because of my swollen nose and face. But trust me, it disappears within a week or two after delivery. You are beautiful and doing an amazing job.
No need to worry, it’s just water weight. Splash cold water on your face in the morning and do light facial massages upwards. Avoid outside pickles and junk food because they have too much salt.
