Solutions for Pregnancy Swollen Legs & Feet

Are your feet and legs looking a bit puffy? A little bit of swelling is normal during the second half of pregnancy. How does this happen? Your growing uterus is putting pressure on your veins, which slows circulation and causes blood to pool in your legs. This pressure also forces fluid from your veins into the body’s tissues. It’s definitely not one of the most celebrated side effects of pregnancy, but it’s absolutely among the most common. In fact, three-quarters of all pregnant women find that their legs, ankles, and feet take a turn for the puffy as pregnancy progresses, especially in the evening, in warm weather, or after long periods of standing or sitting. But in most cases, you can find relief simply by staying hydrated, eating a healthy diet and elevating your feet and applying a soothing aloe treatment, such as our 100% Organic  Aloe Leg Gel to help reduce swelling .If you feel the swelling seems more significant, contact your practitioner.
