Hello! Swelling can be caused by various reasons, such as improper diet, sedentary lifestyle, pregnancy, heart or kidney problems, and others.
The following are recommended to combat swelling:
1. Drink more water. Paradoxically, when there is swelling, the body may retain fluid, so it is important to drink enough water throughout the day.
2. Avoid salt. Salty food promotes fluid retention in the body, so try to reduce your salt intake.
3. Elevate your legs. If you have swelling in your legs, place them on a pillow or elevate your legs against a wall to improve circulation.
4. Wear compression stockings. They help improve circulation and reduce swelling.
5. Engage in light exercise. Regular physical activity helps improve circulation and reduce swelling.
If the swelling does not subside or is accompanied by other symptoms, be sure to consult a doctor for advice and further treatment.
You must definitely inform the doctor about this. You need to drink water until 6 PM; if you want some later, only take small sips. I also started to swell at this stage, at 38 weeks I couldn't fit into any shoes. I started having GDM. Check your sugar just in case.
You need to find out the cause of the swelling, get a blood test to rule out late toxemia, check the kidneys, treatment depends on the cause of the edema.
I have been to the doctors, and they suggest nothing but childbirth; there's no protein, my blood is normal. They advised me to drink a lot and to stand in the knee-elbow position. If anyone knows what else can be done, I would appreciate the advice.

You might experience swelling from drinking a lot of water. I tried not to drink at all at night to avoid frequent trips to the bathroom and to reduce the strain on my kidneys overnight.
My legs were so swollen that it hurt to step on them. I cut out dairy, baked goods, and sugar in the last month of pregnancy. The effect will be in a couple of days.
