Any ladies having a problem w swelling feet? I'm 26 weeks and my feet are swelling so bad that they actually hurt. I've tried proping them up and it does help much. Any advice ?
Cut back on your sodium (salt) intake. I don't mean to eliminate it completely, but try to cut it back. That includes Gatorade, canned veggies, sauces, chips, etc. Check your labels drink more water, it will keep you hydrated as well as fend off water retention & swelling. Prop your feet up as much as possible, don't let them hang down, all the water & fluid pools in them otherwise
you should call your doc- i had this problem with my son and even tho i was exclusively drinking water and super careful about my diet it wouldnt go away but i just figured it was part of pregnancy. my mom whos a nurse MADE me go to my dr and my blood pressure was 111/98 which is like stroke level!! sometimes it has nothing to do with diet its just pregnancy causing the high bp and can be extremely dangerous to mommy and baby so please go get your bp checked.
