FAQ: Swollen Feet and Pregnancy
Swollen feet and pregnancy is very common. In fact, many women actually have to move up a shoe size during (and sometimes, even after pregnancy, they remain that size.) Sometimes swollen feet, or peripheral edema, can be really painful for an expecting mom. The water retention experienced during pregnancy, as well as a growing uterus can raise the pressure of the water being pushed out into the tissues causing very uncomfortable swelling.
Drinking a lot of water and keeping your feet elevated can help comfort an expecting mom that is suffering from swollen feet and pregnancy. If you have a desk job, slide a stool or a box under your desk so you can keep your feet up. What also helps those who are looking to reduce swollen feet and pregnancy swelling is light massage.
Importantly, if you have a job that requires you to be on the go, take breaks and elevate your feet periodically throughout the workday. Don’t forget that during this time in your life, you should put your health first.
For an expecting mom, after a long day on your feet or at a desk, there's nothing more indulgent than a pampering foot massage.
Foot Relief Cream offered by Belli is the safest massage cream to treat swollen feet and pregnancy. Foot Relief Cream is an aroma-therapeutic, anti-bacterial, moisturizing massage treatment that comforts swollen feet and pregnancy related swelling. Featuring peppermint, tea tree oil and shea butter, Foot Relief Cream leaves skin feeling cool and refreshed.
Here are some basic massage tips from Belli to relieve swollen feet and pregnancy related swelling:
- Prep feet by using Skin Smoothing Body Exfoliator all over your feet and calves, then rinse
- Follow with light foot massage using the Foot Relief Cream
- Finish by elevating feet above the heart for 10 minutes
Note: Please consult with your doctor if you are pregnant before doing at-home massage treatments.
