Many pregnant women are not very familiar with the symptoms that may occur during their first pregnancy. In the later stages of pregnancy, as the fetus grows larger and the pregnant woman's body becomes heavier, it is easy for her feet to swell, and some pregnant women's bodies may even become swollen. So what does a pregnant woman's foot swelling look like?
There is a difference between normal swelling and abnormal swelling in pregnant women with foot swelling. Normal edema is when the swollen area is pressed with the hand, and with increasing force, the skin will have a depression. When the fingers are released, it will not immediately return to a normal state. This situation is prone to occur in the late stages of pregnancy, which is a normal manifestation during pregnancy. After giving birth, the pregnant woman will return to normal.
Abnormal swelling belongs to pathological swelling, and there may be other symptoms during the swelling period, such as painful feet and difficulty walking. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination in a timely manner and listen to the doctor's advice for treatment. When pregnant women have swollen feet, they should pay attention to resting more. They can soak their feet and massage them to improve. Pregnant women should choose shoes that are soft, comfortable, and loose.
Pregnant women in the late stage of pregnancy should not be too nervous, maintain a good mentality, and carefully observe their physical symptoms. If you experience symptoms such as vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, or amniotic fluid rupture, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In late pregnancy, it is necessary to undergo various examinations to prepare for delivery and choose a suitable delivery method.
