Retaining fluids in pregnancy is common, so swollen feet are an indicator that this is happening in the mother’s body because the ankles “disappear” and often the shoes no longer fit.
These types of problems are also associated with poor circulation, which is why varicose veins often appear, which is why we have six simple exercises that you can do from the comfort of your home to avoid discomfort.
– If you are sitting watching television try to move the balls of your feet from front to back and in circular movements to activate circulation.
– Lie on your back flex your legs and simulate as if you were on a bicycle.
– Stand on your side with your legs fully stretched, the one on top move it up and down several times and then change position.
– Try to walk with the tips for a while and then with your heels.
– Every day lie down and place your legs on the wall or some object that helps you keep them elevated.
– Walk for several minutes a day, as circulation is activated and muscles are toned. Always try to bring comfortable shoes that allow you to move easily.
