What should a pregnant woman do if her feet are swollen

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Swelling in the feet during pregnancy is a normal phenomenon. First, you need to check if your blood pressure is high, as it may be caused by gestational hypertension. If it's not, there's no problem. You can place two pillows under your feet before sleeping and elevate them. This can also help alleviate foot swelling later in your pregnancy. It's best to soak your feet in warm water before bed and then massage them.
