Oh beti, swelling in legs and hands is quite common during pregnancy, but it's always wise to be cautious. For comfort, try elevating your legs whenever you rest, maybe by propping them up on pillows. Make sure to stay well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water – it actually helps flush out excess fluids. Gentle walks and avoiding standing or sitting for too long can also improve circulation.

However, it is absolutely essential to consult your doctor or gynaecologist, especially if the swelling is sudden, severe, doesn't go down, or if you experience other symptoms like headaches, blurred vision, or pain. They can assess your situation and ensure everything is fine for both you and your baby. Don't delay seeing a doctor for this.
