Is pregnant 6 months what reason is foot swollen?

1. After pregnancy, the blood volume of pregnant women gradually increased from the 6th week of pregnancy, reached the peak at the 34th week, and maintained at this level until two weeks after delivery. Blood volume can be increased by about 40% compared with non pregnancy period, so after the increase of blood volume, interstitial fluid will also increase.

2. As the increase of blood, the increase of plasma is more than the increase of blood cells, so the blood components will be relatively diluted, and the relative concentration of plasma albumin is lower than that in non pregnancy. Plasma albumin is the main component to maintain plasma osmotic pressure. The plasma osmolality during pregnancy is lower than that during non pregnancy. This makes the water in the blood flow easy to penetrate into the interstitial fluid, resulting in lower limb edema.

3. After pregnancy, the uterus is enlarged and the pressure in pelvis is increased, which affects the venous blood flow of lower limbs. This is also one of the important causes of lower limb edema. If the edema during pregnancy is lighter after rest or sleep, it is physiological and need not be worried.

matters needing attention

1. Rest. People who are engaged in long standing and sedentary work will have serious edema. Expectant mother had better work every 1 hour, rest 10-15 minutes, change posture, exercise legs. 2. Raise your legs. Raising your legs for 15-20 minutes before going to bed (or during lunch break) can accelerate blood return and reduce venous pressure. It can not only relieve edema during pregnancy, but also prevent varicose veins of lower limbs and other diseases. 3. If the abdomen has the feeling of falling or expanding, you can buy a belt to hold it gently to reduce the pressure. 4. Sleep on the left side. Sleep to take the left side lying, can avoid compression to the lower extremity vein, and reduce the resistance of blood return. 5. First, make sure you eat enough protein. Every day, we must ensure that we eat animal food such as livestock, poultry, meat, fish, shrimp, eggs, milk and beans. This kind of food is rich in high-quality protein. Pregnant women with anemia should also pay attention to eating animal liver 2-3 times a week to supplement iron. 6. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Vegetables and fruits contain a variety of essential vitamins and trace elements, which can improve the body's resistance, strengthen metabolism, detoxification and diuresis. Pregnant women should not forget to eat vegetables and fruits every day.
