What causes swelling in pregnancy?

Mild swelling in your feet and ankles is super common in the later months because of the extra blood and fluid. Try wearing comfortable flats and avoid standing for too long. But do mention it to your gynecologist at your next checkup just to be safe!

Please monitor your blood pressure closely if you have sudden or severe swelling in your hands or face. My wife had this, and it was a sign of high blood pressure during pregnancy. Regular checkups and keeping salt intake under control are very important for safety.

Soaking your feet in warm water with a little rock salt can give you great relief from the heavy feeling. However, if you notice sudden swelling along with headaches or blurred vision, don't try home remedies. Go straight to your hospital as it requires urgent medical check.

Hey babe, try not to stress too much about the puffy ankles, it happens to almost all of us! Just keep your feet elevated whenever you sit and drink plenty of water. If the swelling seems very sudden or is only in one leg, call your gynac right away to be safe.

My bhabhi had really bad swelling in her feet during her eighth month, and she could barely fit into her shoes. Her doctor told her it was completely normal pressure from the baby, but they still kept a regular check on her BP. Definitely ask your doctor about it.
