Common Questions and Answers about Swollen feet and legs
swollen
I'm 28 weeks and the last couple weeks I've been experiencing bad swollen feet/legs. I never had this happen my entire first pregnancy and I'm freaking out. Anyone else swell up this early and what are you doing to prevent it? I've been elevating my feet, soaking them in cold water and cutting back on salt.
I'm 37 weeks as well and my feet and legs are so swollen I had to buy special shoes and sometimes I can't walk by the end of the day
So I'm 33 weeks and my legs are starting to swell. Not my ankles and feet which is strange but I feel like my legs are going to pop at the end of the day...anyone else feel my pain?
I just elevate them when I get home from work.
I'm 21 weeks along and when I stand for 15 minutes or more my legs and feet become red, swollen, & itchy!! anyone else have this?
You're retaining water. My feet look terrible, my toes literally look like mini sausages, my ankles are more like cankles now lol and my legs have gotten swollen too. Try to stay off your feet as much as you can. When your laying down or sitting, prop them up on something. As for the hurting it could be from the exrta baby weight you're carrying now that your little one is getting bigger quicker. I know my tibia and fibia are sore.
When you are near the end of your pregnancy the baby is putting more pressure on your joints, muscles, tissues, and blood vessels in your legs and hips. Upping water intake and also elevating your feet. I find laying on my side in a cool room helps....the relaxation takes the stress off your hips and legs! I use this time to read a book or parenting magizine! If it continues you should contact your doctor!

I work in an office where you are tied to your desk all day for 9 hours you can't get up and move around I'm 23 weeks and my legs and ankles are starting to really swell I move my ankles like they tell you to on a plane but they are starting to get sore and quite unsightly. ..
Did you ever figure out what the issue is? I also have swollen ankles, feet, and lower legs too. My doctor is sending me to neurology. It's so bad sometimes I can't walk well and I pull muscles/tendons. It can also be very painful. I don't have the red splotches or numb spots that you describe. Like you, I watch my sodium, don't sit or stand for too long, and have had all the blood tests I should.
Epson salt bath helps. My gynae told me a few weeks ago to take slow release magnesium before bed to help me sleep and also for cramps and I have eaten a banana every day of my pregnancy. It doesn't stop it but it has helped a lot. My husband sometimes rubs my legs and feet too.
Hope you get some relief.
Im 37 weeks and my feet have been so swollen that I can't wear shoes. It's getting so bad that I can barely wear sandals now. I talked to my doctor about it and he said its normal but it's been like this for 3 weeks now. I've tried massaging them, elevating, walking, sitting down, cutting salt and drinking water but nothing's working. My legs are now getting swollen too and I don't know what to do.
