Feet swelling during flight
Common Questions and Answers about Feet swelling during flight
swollen
Leg and foot swelling during air travel is common and typically harmless. The most likely culprit is inactivity during a flight. Sitting with your feet on the floor for a long period causes blood to pool in your leg veins. The position of your legs when you are seated also increases pressure in your leg veins. This contributes to foot swelling by causing fluid to leave the blood and move into the surrounding soft tissues.
You have to buy an actual brush made for dry brushing, I got mine from amazon, and then you start at your feet and brush in circular motions all over up to your heart. During pregnancy I skip my stomach because the skin is too stretched and then and sensitive. It can feel a little I comfortable at first so if you do it, do it very lightly. Then the more you do it the harder you can press. It makes me feel great when I'm done!

I flew at 29 weeks, 2 and a half hour flight, wasn't too bad, I drank lots of water, wore flight socks but still was very stiff after, and my two feet were so swollen for couple days after, but it was 25 degrees outside, might of had something to do with my fat feet. Speak to your doc and be prepared!
I HAVE A SEVERE SUNBURN ON THE FRONT AND BACK OF BOTH OF MY LEGS, NOT THE FIRST TIME FOR THAT BUT IT HAS BEEN A VERY LONG TIME SINCE IT HAS HAPPENED, HOWEVER, I HAVE SWELLING ALL THE WAY UP BOTH LEGS AND IN BOTH FEET. ELEVATING THEM SEEMS TO HELP WITH THE UNCOMFORT OF THE SWELLING, BUT WHEN I PUT THEM BACK DOWN IT HURTS LIKE I BROKE MY LEGS! THE FEEING SUBSIDES AFTER JUST A FEW MINUTES AND I AM ABLE TO WALK BUT THEN THE SWELLING COMES BACK AGAIN.
You need to be seen and have your blood pressure etc checked. Swelling like that is not completely normal. A little can be if you're on your feet a lot but what you describe needs to be seen by a doctor.

Most women have some swelling during pregnancy. More severe swelling during pregnancy may be a sign of preeclampsia (also called toxemia), a serious condition that includes high blood pressure and swelling.
Swollen legs may be a sign of heart failure, kidney failure, or liver failure. In these conditions, there is too much fluid in the body.
I'm 31+2 weeks pregnant and have that problem too. I drink lots of water and elevate my feet that seems to help (= I also have my husband rub my feet once swelling goes down.
Starting around Thursday Feb 18th at 11pm, I noticed my feet were swollen. The swelling is mainly on the top and the sides of my foot. It ends right around my ankle/sock line. There was no pain, no discoloration, and no scratches for infection. I went to the ER because I was scared. They ran blood tests and a urine test, and EKG. My kidney/liver levels were fine, as was my urine. The EKG was also normal.
