How can i reduce swelling of feet as a result of pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Edema of feet: Swelling of both feet if still pregnant can occur with standing too long, so elevate both feet to reduce this. If you are not still pregnant, ask your OB provider for some mild diuretics to assist. Make sure your blood pressure is now normal, reduce any source of sodium (salt or salty foods), and drink lots of plain water to reduce sodium content in your body.
