How to reduce symptoms of edema at 30 weeks of pregnancy

Patient's question:

Hello:
I am currently 30 weeks pregnant and experiencing generalized edema, with the legs and feet being particularly noticeable. At night, I have severe body pain and difficulty sleeping. How can I alleviate this?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, my child is now four months old. When I was pregnant, I had the same experience as you, with very swollen legs and feet. You can soak your feet in hot water more often, rest more, and stay in bed. When sitting, prop your legs up, and when sleeping, place a pillow under your feet to relieve the pain. Generally, doctors recommend that women with signs of gestational gynecological diseases should maintain a reasonable diet, stay away from spicy, stimulating, and cold foods. Additionally, patients should create an environment that promotes emotional stability and stress relief. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
