Good day! I'm 24 weeks pregnant. Just a few days ago my shoes suddenly became tight, and the last couple of days I can really feel and see how my legs are swelling, with heaviness and unpleasant tingling in them. Today I couldn't even take two steps in my usual shoes - terrible discomfort. I weighed myself - I've gained 1 kg in a week!!! I understand that swelling has caught up with me, but it seems a bit early((( I called my doctor, she said - salt-free diet and that's it. If, she says, swelling has appeared, then they'll be with you until delivery. I feel uneasy. I'm reading online that they can be quite dangerous. Who's been in a similar situation, what did you do to cope? Thank you.
I'm currently at 35 weeks, and only my fingers have swollen (I can't wear my rings). My doctor also told me that until I give birth, I'll be walking around with sausages instead of fingers.

At about the same stage of pregnancy, my ankles swelled so much that I couldn’t fasten my winter boots by the end of the workday, but that seems normal... Compression tights saved me—they kept my legs from swelling by the end of the day. Now that it’s summer, get yourself some compression socks and stay healthy! By the way, Venoteks are the best.

Author, I had terrible swelling. I was put on a salt-free diet and practically forbidden to drink fluids (no more than 400 ml per day in total—that included tea, soup, and porridge). It didn't help. I went into labour looking like a bedside table. As soon as I gave birth, the swelling disappeared instantly, and I barely recognised my own legs)) The baby is healthy, and he's all grown up now.

I also had them during my first pregnancy: Canephron, lingonberry leaf tea, and a special diet. I was hospitalised twice for bed rest. Keep an eye on your blood pressure and protein in your urine. In my case, labour was induced at 38 weeks because the Doppler results were already poor. The swelling took another week to go down.

A salt-free diet is fantastic!!! It saved me. First, swelling appeared, then my blood pressure rose, and I experienced vomiting. When I stood up, I felt unwell and could only lie down. My mum said: stop eating salt. At first, I was sceptical. Literally, within two days, all the swelling disappeared, and my blood pressure normalised. I drove until the very end of my pregnancy. I should add, though, that I also avoided flour-based foods, sweets, and fried foods. Dried fruits with tea are also quite nice, but the main thing is I felt excellent!!!! So, for the sake of the baby and your health, it’s worth enduring a little.

Remove salt from your diet; you can buy lingonberry leaves in tea bags and brew them like tea. You may also consider magnesium treatments intravenously, through a drip, and wear compression garments as prescribed by your doctor. Get your kidneys and blood vessels checked.

I gained almost 17 kg and had severe swelling. There's a cream for swelling called 9 Months. It's really great, cools the skin so pleasantly and absorbs quickly.
That's all well and good, but does it actually combat the swelling?

Absolutely, and it works brilliantly. I applied it every evening and after a couple of weeks there was still some swelling, but it wasn't uncomfortable at all. I still use it now, it's a nice cream. The 9 months brand isn't just for pregnant women
Thanks, I'll check it out at the pharmacy, as I've got this feeling that my legs aren't legs but sacks of potatoes)

I couldn't stick to the diet)) During pregnancy, I ate everything in sight, even raising a cloud of dust. I also started swelling around week 30. Phytolysin helped me.

And is it safe for pregnant women? I didn't dare to try.

That's a shame. What are you going to do now, walk around like an elephant until the birth? With my weight of 90 kg it was really tough. There's a Fitolysin specifically for pregnant women - Prenatal. It's based on cranberry extract. It relieves swelling quickly and it's safe for the baby.

I thought you were talking about the paste. Didn't even know about the 'pregnancy' medication.
I took Phytolysin Prenatal, it saved me, the swelling went down very quickly.

My friend took Fitolysin and really liked it. It's not just for swelling, but also works as a prevention against infections and cystitis.

I'm taking Phytolysin Prenatal. It's GREAT that it contains natural herbs and cranberry, but not just any cranberry—a special kind that's more effective at dealing with swelling.

My swelling started at 20 weeks. First, I gained +3 kg in 2 weeks, then another +2 kg in the next 2 weeks. I'm now at 26 weeks. I was prescribed Trinephron (an analogue of Canephron) in capsules and Tivartin in syrup form. Trinephron: 2 capsules, 3 times a day, and Tivartin: 5 mg, 3 times a day. After about 3 days, trips to the toilet became more frequent, and I developed terrible sweating. Let's see what happens next.

Better to eat cranberries fresh or drink cranberry juice) I'm 32 weeks. Also have swelling, but not too bad
During my first pregnancy, I had no swelling at all—I was young then. When I gave birth to my second at 34, my legs were like barrels in the later stages. My doctor allowed me to use Venolgon gel by Twins Tech. That's how I reduced the swelling and protected my legs from spider veins.

Stopped reading at the bit about vaccinations, the book clearly has pharma lobby influence

You don't need to cut out salt completely, and secondly you should actually drink normally, about 1.5-2 litres, and eat 120g of protein per day.
