How can pregnant women reduce swelling in their feet

Patient's question:

During pregnancy, it is always particularly uncomfortable, and morning sickness is also very severe. How can pregnant women reduce swelling in their feet?

Doctor's answer:

Hello. Leg swelling during pregnancy is a normal phenomenon, but some experience it earlier while others do so later in the pregnancy. It is recommended that you do not walk too much and elevate your lower legs by placing something under them while sleeping to alleviate the swelling.
Being two and a half months pregnant and having had two ultrasound scans is a bit excessive, but it will not harm the baby. You can follow the schedule set by your doctor for the check-ups. Generally, it is considered that ultrasounds have no effect on the fetus. However, if the number of scans is too frequent or the examination time is too long, it may not be conducive to the healthy growth of the fetus. If the ultrasound probe remains in the baby’s head area for an extended period, it may cause temporary inhibition of the brain.
