Swelling in legs and ankles is quite common during pregnancy. Try to: - Avoid standing for long periods. - Rest with your feet elevated. - Avoid high heels, and always wear comfortable shoes - Use cold compresses on swollen areas. - Drink lots of water, which helps flush the body and reduce water retention. - Reduce your salt intake and avoid adding additional salt to meals.
