Pregnancy & Feet
Pregnancy is an exciting time of life, but because of the increased weight, can have a significant impact on the feet and legs. During pregnancy, the centre of gravity changes drastically and the weight is shifted forwards, adding more stress on the knees and feet to maintain good balance and coordination. Swelling (oedema) and pronation (rolling in at the ankle) are the two main challenges to the feet and legs that women face throughout their pregnancy, though you may also experience cramping, varicose veins and other symptoms.
