air compression leg massager/ compression sock
I'm 23 Weeks pregnant now and I'm having fluid retention on my feet it been 4 days and I went to see a doctor to take blood test but while waiting for test result out may I know can I use air compression leg massager to ease my feet swelling? Or you all will suggest compression socks instead? May I know how do I buy a compression socks any recommendation?
Please don’t use a leg massager. Pregnant mummies are more prone to having blood clots in your legs (DVT), and if there’s a clot there, the massager may dislodge the clot and send it up to your lungs, causing breathing problems. It might be difficult to put on the stockings too due to the swelling. For me, I just raised my legs whenever I was sitting/lying down.

Drink more water and take less salty stuff. I am in my 36 week alrdy and havent experience water retention.
massage can help and ease the pressure but you need to drink a lot of water and avoid salty food. also do some walking sizzy
You can try soaking your feet with Epsom salt. Just make sure to dry your feet properly once you’re done to avoid any slippage.
hi u may like to ask doctor if u can soak ur feet in warm water before sleep? it helps in swelling and promote sleep
I wear compression socks and it works perfectly well for me. I wear compression sock thur out my working hours.

I used Dr scholl's compression leggings thru both pregnancies and elevated my legs as much as possible
I soak my feet in bath salts and it works very well! Plus point to pamper n moisturiser tired feet
