The Doctors TV Show was focused on the topic of “Secrets Your Feet Tell About Your Health.” One of the topics that The Drs TV Show spoke about was Swollen Feet. What causes Swollen Feet? And how should you treat Swollen Feet? 
The Doctors TV Show: Swollen Feet When Pregnant
The Doctors said that it is common to have Swollen Feet that are sore and achy when you are pregnant, but it is not uncommon to have Swollen Feet even if you are not having a baby.
The Doctors TV Show: What Causes Swollen Feet?
The Doctors said that there are many causes of Swollen Feet, including heat, eating lots of salt, being on a plane, and of course being pregnant. When you are pregnant, your fluid volume doubles, so you literally have twice as much blood and retain much more liquid.
The Doctors TV Show: How to Treat Swollen Feet?
The Doctors said that you can elevate your legs, wear lose fitting clothing and wear open shoes. When you are in your third trimester of pregnancy, your uterus puts pressure on vessels in the pelvis which decreases your blood flow back up. Therefore, you end up with fluid stuck in your feet and legs. Another way to treat swollen feet is by massaging your feet and watching your salt intake. If you are in your first or second trimester of pregnancy, though, you should avoid Foot Massages because there are certain pressure points in the foot that can elicit labor. So for anyone who wants their baby to come out faster, get your husband to give you foot massages – both of which can help your baby to come out more quickly!
