Answer: Hello! Swelling may be reduced by eating foods that are high in potassium, such as bananas, and by avoiding caffeine. Here are some other helpful hints to manage swelling during your pregnancy: Avoid standing for long periods.Minimize outdoor time when it is hot.Rest with your feet elevated.Wear comfortable shoes, avoiding high heels if possible.Wear supportive tights or stockings.Avoid clothes that are tight around your wrists or ankles.Rest or swim in a pool.Use cold compresses on swollen areas.Drink water, which helps flush the body and reduce water retention.Minimize sodium (salt) intake and avoid adding additional salt to meals.

Answer: Hie the swelling in your feets is due to increase in blood volume As during pregnancy the blood volume increase near about 50% to meet the increasing demand of your baby and yourself Avoid standing or sitting for long intervals of time as it allows the blood to pool and hence cause swelling Take a quick walk for 2-5 min in between that would help with blood circulation Massage your feets once a day to ease the tension in muscles , get the blood circulating and ease pain or swelling You may apply cold pack or soak in a tub of warm water Also while sleeping keep a pillow in between your knees and below your feets to comfort you
