Can foot swelling be prevented in pregnancy and what actually helps

The article discusses the common phenomenon of swelling in the feet during pregnancy, known as edema, which occurs due to increased blood volume and pressure on veins. It explains that while complete prevention is not possible, steps such as elevating legs, staying hydrated, avoiding prolonged sitting or standing, reducing salt intake, and sleeping on the left side can help reduce swelling. The piece also warns that sudden and severe swelling, especially accompanied by headaches or vision changes, could indicate preeclampsia, a serious condition requiring immediate medical attention.
