How to deal with foot swelling in late pregnancy

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Pay attention to rest, do not stand or crouch, sit for too long. When sitting on a sofa or chair, you can lift your feet (adjust the height according to your condition). You can also rotate your ankle and foot to improve blood circulation. Additionally, appropriate walking and leg massage are also effective in preventing edema. During rest, lying on your left side can alleviate pressure on the inferior vena cava from the uterus. Sometimes a low-protein diet can also cause edema, so pay attention to protein supplementation. You can eat more eggs, milk, fish, shrimp, and other foods.
