My feet have started swelling up quite a bit, especially by the end of the day. I'm in my second trimester. Is this a normal part of pregnancy, and what causes it?
I used to feel so weak from throwing up and then my feet started swelling too. Keeping my legs elevated on a few pillows whenever I lay down gave me so much relief.
Mere ghar pe meri MIL hamesha bolti thi ki pair latka ke mat baitho. Main jab bhi sofa pe baithti thi, pair stool pe rakhti thi aur sach me swelling kam ho gayi.
As a nurse's friend, I can tell you mild swelling is just normal fluid retention. But if the swelling is very sudden or only in one leg, call your doctor immediately to check your BP.
Extra fluid retention is quite normal, but please monitor your salt intake and get your blood pressure checked. Sometimes sudden swelling can be related to BP or sugar issues, so keep your doctor informed.
