Swollen Feet In Pregnancy

Feet looking a bit puffy? A little bit of swelling is normal during the second half of pregnancy. This condition, aka edema, is due to your body retaining excess amounts of water. How does this happen? Your growing uterus is putting pressure on your veins, which slows circulation and causes blood to pool in your legs. This pressure also forces fluid from your veins into the body’s tissues - the perfect recipe for swollen feet during pregnancy. If you feel the swelling seems more significant, contact your caregiver. But in most cases, you can find relief simply by staying hydrated and eating a healthy diet.

Leg Cramps In Pregnancy

During your second or third trimester, you may experience cramping in your legs. For some, these uncomfortable muscle spasms can cause restless sleep. Leg cramps during pregnancy are common, although surprisingly, no one can be sure what causes them. Your growing belly, increased hormones or food choices could all contribute to pregnancy leg pain. To help, try to stretch, maintain a healthy diet and rest your feet from time to time. Simple solutions like these can reduce cramping, so you - and your legs - can rest easier at night.

Are your ankles suddenly looking like, ughhh, cankles? A little bit of swelling is normal during the second half of pregnancy.

Our feet aren’t immune to dry skin. In fact, this skin is more likely to get dehydrated than any other part of our body thanks to the abuse our feet take on a daily basis. Maintaining soft soles requires a two-pronged approach that includes exfoliating dry skin with a scrub or tool and hydrating dry feet with rich creams and lotions.
