Shaam tak mere pair itne sooj jaate hain ki chappal tight ho jaati hai, 7th month chal raha hai. Pehle to aisa nahi hota tha, samajh nahi aa raha kyu ho raha hai. Kya ye normal hai ya doctor ko batana chahiye?
Oh, I've been seeing so many posts about this lately as I'm trying to learn everything before I conceive! My friend also had really swollen feet in her third trimester. Is it mostly a later stage thing, or can it start earlier? It looks so uncomfortable to deal with every day.
Haan beti, swelling toh hoti hai pregnancy mein, bahut common hai. Hamare ghar pe bhi sab bolte hain ki paer thode upar rakh ke sona, aur zyada der khade mat rehna. Khoon ka circulation theek se nahi hota na jab pet bada hota hai, isiliye pani jama ho jaata hai.
Ugh, the swelling is absolutely real! My feet look like puffy marshmallows these days, haha. I think it's because our bodies are just holding onto so much extra water for the baby and everything. Maybe less salty snacks would help, but my cravings usually have other plans for me!
Yes, leg swelling, or edema, is quite a common occurrence in pregnancy. My consultant at the premium hospital explained it as a result of increased blood volume and the pressure from the growing uterus. They advised elevating my feet and staying well-hydrated. If it's sudden or excessive, though, always immediately report it to your doctor.
My pregnancy apps actually explained this really well! It's super common and called edema. Basically, your body retains more fluid to support the baby, and the growing uterus also puts pressure on your veins, which slows down circulation in your legs. Elevating your feet helps a lot!
Maari maami (aunt) used to tell me it's normal to have some swelling because of the increased blood and fluids for the baby, especially in the third trimester. My doctor also confirmed it's usually benign. Just try to put your feet up and rest when you can, and make sure to drink enough water, pa. But if it increases suddenly, do tell your doctor.
