Is it safe for the baby for pregnant women to elevate their leg?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Elevating one's legs during pregnancy can help with swelling. During the later stages of pregnancy it is common to have swelling bilaterally in the lower legs, both elevation and compression stockings may help.
