By evening my feet swell up so much that my chappals feel tight, im in 8th month. Subah thik rehta hai but as day goes it gets worse. is this just normal pregnancy swelling or something to get checked? a bit worried na.
My leg swelling actually increased right after my C-section surgery, which my doctor said is normal due to IV fluids. It took about a week of elevating my feet and gentle walking at home to go down. Just be patient with your recovery.
This is called edema and is super common because of increased blood and fluid in the body. Try not to stand for too long and keep rotating your ankles. But if the swelling is sudden or in only one leg, please call your doctor immediately.
Swelling is common but don't ignore it if it's sudden, as checking BP is important. I made sure to buy comfortable, cheap slip-on shoes a size larger instead of expensive maternity wear. Keeping track of routine urine and BP test costs helped me stay within my delivery budget.
Our bodies go through so many changes to bring a new life, swelling is just part of this beautiful journey. Stay positive, drink lots of water to flush out toxins, and pray for strength. God will make everything easy for you.
I am facing this swelling too, especially in the evenings after sitting at my desk. Does anyone know if drinking more water actually helps reduce it? I feel like I'm already bloated and drinking water might make it worse!
I had thyroid issues and swelling was quite bad for me. It's really important to get your routine blood tests and thyroid levels checked as prescribed. Don't skip your doctor visits, as they can track if the swelling is normal or needs attention.
Haan yaar, mere toh pair bilkul hathi jaise ho gaye the last months me! Body me paani hold hota hai na tabhi swelling aati hai. Par agar BP badhne ki wajah se hai, toh dikkat ho sakti hai, isliye doctor se zaroor check karwana.
Mild swelling is just water retention and pressure from the uterus on your veins. But as a nurse, I always tell moms to check their blood pressure regularly. If you see sudden swelling in your face or hands alongside legs, consult your doctor.
I'm currently in my 35th week and my feet look like absolute potatoes, I can't even see my toes anymore! I've accepted that none of my shoes fit me right now. Just counting days until I get my ankles back!
My feet looked like little melons in my third trimester! My mother used to make me sit with my feet elevated on pillows and gave me warm water to soak them in. She always said it's just extra fluid, but told me to keep checking in with the doc.
No need to buy expensive leg massagers for swelling. Just keep your legs up on two normal pillows while sleeping and reduce extra salt in your food. These simple home adjustments worked wonders for my swollen feet!
I active walked daily for 30 minutes which really helped circulation and reduced my foot swelling. It also kept me fit for my normal delivery later. Stay active and positive, your body is doing an amazing job!
