My SIL noticed my feet swollen at 7pm yesterday. The whole day I drank 8+ water bottles, had 2 hot dogs when I got there then had a plate of food later. Got home around 10pm, feet still swollen, took a shower and then laid down and elevated them. Woke up this morning with puffy feet still. Should I call my ob or is it a normal thing? And yes, I know, if I have real concern call them but I want feedback 1st.

Were you outside for a long time ? Being in the heat for a long time can cause the swelling as well.... also I know swelling is normal later in pregnancy . My SILs feet looked double the size towards the end of her pregnancy and all was well. As long as your BP is good and no protein in urine and it’s not just one foot they are not usually worried . I hope they go down because I’m sure it’s uncomfortable .

It’s pretty normal during pregnancy, but I would still bring it up to your doctor to rule out other issues.

In the meantime, increase your water intake (46-64 oz of water a day), reduce your sodium intake, and increase your potassium intake. Potassium helps decrease swelling. You could also try soaking your feet in an ice water bath or applying a cold compress to both feet.

I hope you feel better.

I would call them. I was always told that if resting and elevating then while drinking enough water didn’t get the swelling down, to call.
They’ll probably want you to go in for a BP check and a urine check.
