I usually have skinny bony feet and ankles, now look at them! Is this normal? Joys of being a hair stylist I guess 😔

Question

Answer

How far along are u

Answer

I'd get that checked out!

Answer

I'm a hair stylist too and my feet are starting to swell. How far along are you? I'm 29 weeks. Standing up takes a toll on my back and feet for sure!

Answer

I'm a hair stylist too and the other girls I work with told me if I get swollen to wear compression socks.  I thankfully haven't had a problem yet. I'm 29 weeks so I'm sure my time is coming.   Just make sure you drink plenty of water :)

Answer

Compression socks are your friend! Also make sure to drink lots of water and elevate your feet at night. Unfortunately it's normal and none of these things will make it stop completely, but they do help!

Answer

I've seen a few ladies who work in hospitals post about compression socks being their best friends since they're on their feet all day, maybe try those

Answer

Make sure your blood pressure is good, drink lots of water, & try to keep your feet up. If you have swelling in you face you need to call your doc.

Answer

I just checked with my OB for the same problem. I am 27 weeks and have an office job. He said as long as my BP is normal and no protein is in my urine (both checked fine Monday) then it's ok and to be expected :)
