Is Swelling Of Feet During Pregnancy Normal?
Question: Is it normal at 21 weeks pregnancy for swelling of feet
Brief Answer:
Can be physiological.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Swelling of the feet during pregnancy can be a physiological finding due to venous pooling of the blood in the legs. It is mostly noticed during the day and reduces in the morning after rest.
It can be associated with a rise in maternal blood pressure and proteinuria. You can keep your legs elevated on two pillows while resting. If the swelling is persistent then do consult your gynecologist to rule out pregnancy induced hypertension or proteinuria after proper investigations.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
