Anyone had swollen legs during their 3rd trimester? My doc suggested lots and lots of bedrest to prevent further swelling. I'm so worried. Any implications due to swollen legs?
When i had my first kid, my legs were swollen dring 3rd tri, esp the feet. Seems like a normal thing though. Just need to get bigger soft shoes.. Resting your feet is good help..
So far only happened to me when i got back from KL last week..probably because i walked too much...but after a few days of rest the swell went down..n the swell is mainly in my ankles
I think we have to rest our legs more and walk less...
I had too once on my feet but go back to normal til now.. need to avoid salty food and standing/sitting too long. Was told walking is fine. elevate ur feet at night during sleep. It should help..
Having swollen leg in third trimester is normal. Try to lift up your leg whenever possible. If you have high blood pressure, swollen hands and face beside swollen leg need to take note as it can be a sign of preclampsia.
( it makes me so worried.
