Question: Hii I got swelling in my legs wt to do to get rid of it
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
