You will feel more physically heavy when you have to walk with big legs. Many cases of leg pain due to swollen ankles and feet, sometimes accompanied by varicose veins in the thighs and calves, make it difficult to move.

If you are in this condition, soak your feet in cool water to relax and allow your feet to rest in the most comfortable state of rest whenever possible. Gently rub your feet for good blood circulation. Avoid standing for too long. You need to keep in mind about shoes. Normally, by the 6th month of pregnancy, daily footwear will be a bit tight and your legs will grow bigger and bigger until you are born. Legs will return to normal after 1 month of birth. Therefore, you should buy several pairs of shoes and sandals to wear during pregnancy. Note, do not buy high-heeled shoes to prevent slippery.
