Swollen feet during pregnancy, also known as edema, is a common occurrence due to hormonal changes and increased blood volume. As your body retains more fluid, it can accumulate in your feet and ankles. Additionally, the growing uterus puts pressure on blood vessels, hindering proper circulation. To alleviate swelling, elevate your legs, avoid standing or sitting for long periods, wear comfortable shoes, and stay hydrated. If the swelling is severe or accompanied by other symptoms like high blood pressure or headaches, consult your healthcare provider to rule out any underlying conditions.
