Im 32 weeks and by evening my feet and ankles look so puffy, my chappals are getting tight na. I know swelling is common but just wanted to understand why it happens this much. anyone else dealing with this in third trimester?
Mild swelling is normal, but if it comes on suddenly, or with headache or blurry vision, please get your BP checked fast. I had that and it turned out to be raised pressure. So watch out for swelling that feels different than usual.
Oh my feet became like two bread loaves by month 8 haha. None of my chappals fit. Keeping legs up and less salt helped a bit, but honestly it mostly went after delivery.
Haan ye to bahut common hai na end ke months me. Main thoda namak kam kar diya tha aur paani zyada pee rahi thi. Pair upar karke baith jao, aaram milta hai.
Sitting at a desk all day made mine worse. I started taking little walking breaks and putting my legs up under the table. Comfy flat shoes were a lifesaver, ditch the tight ones.
It is super common in the later months, your body holds more fluid and the growing belly slows blood flow from the legs. I used to put my feet up on a pillow every evening and it helped a lot. Avoid standing for too long.
