Question 5

why there is swelling over foot during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Swelling: Swelling in the feet is a common problem of pregnancy. Physicians used to associate it with pre-eclampsia, but it occurs in too many women who don't have pre-eclampsia to be a sign of pre-eclampsia. It's probably caused by the increased blood volume and changes in the blood biochemistry that occur during pregnancy.

Question 6

what causes swelling of the feet during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Among the answers: Is the fact that the presence of the baby puts some pressure on the veins as they exit the leg into the abdomen, resulting in a back pressure that results in water retention.

Question 7

is it possible for your feet to grow during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Due to gravity and hormones, the joints of the foot relax, and the spaces between the joints may grow.  This, along with fluid retention normal in pregnancy, can certainly make your feet bigger, and make them require larger shoes.  Not all of the joint expansion may go away after delivery, and some women will have to move up a shoe size after a pregnancy.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Foot pain: Likely fluid retention common with pregnancy.

Question 9
