Empowering mothers worldwide through connection, support, and shared experiences ✨
Moms say foot and leg swelling is normal in late pregnancy, especially if you're carrying extra weight, but advise keeping an eye on blood pressure and flagging any accompanying pain. Gentle, broken-up walking is the suggested routine.
⚠️ Caution:Keep a check on your blood pressure, as swelling can sometimes accompany BP issues. Report any pain alongside the swelling to your gynaecologist.
Moms worry whether swollen feet signal something dangerous like high blood pressure. The community reassures that swelling itself is normal late in pregnancy, especially with extra weight, while advising they monitor BP and not ignore any accompanying pain - and that gentle, broken-up walking helps.
Here's what moms in our community shared based on their own experience.
Swelling of the feet is normal, especially if you're a bit overweight. But pain (such as vaginal pain) doesn't sound normal - ask your gynaecologist and keep a check on your BP.
A good routine: walk 15 minutes, take a 10-minute break, then walk another 15 minutes, twice a day.
