A common symptom of pregnancy is swollen feet. This can happen for a variety of reasons, including an increase in blood circulation, the weight of the unborn baby, or from sitting for extended periods of time. Additionally, eating foods that contain large amounts of sodium may contribute to swollen feet and ankles. It is beneficial to perform gentle stretches daily, and mild relief may be found when exercise is performed on a regular basis. Drinking approximately eight glasses of water during the day may also help to alleviate swollen feet. If you would like more information about your foot concerns during pregnancy, it is suggested that you confer with a podiatrist.
Pregnant women with swollen feet can be treated with a variety of different methods that are readily available. For more information about other cures for swollen feet during pregnancy, consult with Dr. Thomas Tran from Southwestern Foot & Ankle Associates, P.C.. Our doctor will attend to all of your foot and ankle needs.
What Foot Problems Can Arise During Pregnancy?
One problem that can occur is overpronation, which occurs when the arch of the foot flattens and tends to roll inward. This can cause pain and discomfort in your heels while you’re walking or even just standing up, trying to support your baby.
Another problem is edema, or swelling in the extremities. This often affects the feet during pregnancy but tends to occur in the later stages.
