MANAGEMENT OF SWELLING OF FEET DURING PREGNANCY
What can help:
•Elevate your feet when resting.
•Sleep on your left side (improves circulation).
•Wear comfortable shoes or supportive stockings.
•Avoid standing for long stretches.
•Drink plenty of water (ironically, hydration reduces fluid retention).
•Limit very salty foods.

When to seek medical attention 🚨

Contact your healthcare provider right away if swelling is:
•Sudden, severe, or only in one leg (could suggest a blood clot).
•Accompanied by headache, vision changes, pain in the upper right abdomen, or high blood pressure (possible sign of preeclampsia).
•Severe and not improving with rest.

👉 Swelling is often normal, but it’s important to keep an eye on it because it can also be a warning sign in some cases.

Kindly consult your gynaecologist for better treatment and advise.

CUASES OF SWELLING OF FEET DURING PREGNANCY:

Common, usually harmless causes:
•Fluid retention – Your body holds onto more fluid during pregnancy.
•Increased blood volume – Helps support you and your baby, but can cause puffiness.
•Pressure on veins – The uterus presses on pelvic veins, making it harder for blood to return from your legs.
•Hot weather, standing for long periods, salty foods – These can make swelling worse.

Kindly consult your gynaecologist for better treatment and advice.

Swelling of the feet (and sometimes ankles or hands) is very common during pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters. It’s usually due to increased blood volume, hormonal changes, and pressure from the growing uterus slowing down circulation in your legs.

ROLE OF ZINC IN PREGNANCY:
Zinc plays a vital role in pregnancy, impacting both maternal health and fetal development.
It is crucial for cell division, protein synthesis, and growth, which are essential for the healthy development of the fetus.
Adequate zinc levels are also important for maintaining the mother’s immune function and preventing infections that could lead to preterm birth.

Kindly consult your gynaecologist for better treatment and advise.

ROLE OF IRON IN PREGNANCY :
Iron is crucial during pregnancy for both the mother and the developing baby.
It’s essential for making red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout the body. During pregnancy, a woman’s blood volume increases, and the baby is building its own iron stores.
Insufficient iron can lead to anemia in the mother and increase the risk of complications like low birth weight, premature birth, and even affect the baby’s brain development.

Kindly consult your gynaecologist for better treatment and advise.
