Just last year, as the mother had insisted I get a pedicure before giving birth, and wanted to keep it as long as possible ... suddenly adoring look at his feet in the morning rather than its flabby belly post childbirth serious mistake. Over time, feet confined in shoes Winter swelled, the nails have grown and have gradually incarnate. It took then consult a podolgue 3 times for free and remove this incredible pain, with the little that was beside the vocals (to hide my cries, she was cute). It is possible to minimize these risks and that is the podiatrist Sonia, the second participant Mum-to-be Party , giving us advice, valid for both pregnant women or not. And especially in winter!
The pie that swell ds: why?
During pregnancy, some women have the joy to see it's not just their belly swells ... yes, the legs can take a hit! This is explained by the difficulties in venous return. Without an anatomy course, we understand that this stage of life is painful for our legs: even if weight gain is gradual, our legs and feet will support 10 pounds heavier (if not more!). Blood flow slows so. It is the poor circulation in the legs and water retention that make the legs swell. The weight of your body has increased and it is not very well distributed. It is mainly centered on the pelvis and legs, resulting in heavier legs. In short, we can take no more, we are tired.
What was the quantity of swollen feet?
However, it must keep walking to avoid soften, to control her weight gain and to operate the venous return. Walk acts as a pump while we walk every single day! It is essential to follow a healthy lifestyle: too much salt, always for the arteries and veins, but not too much sugar (to control weight gain) and no sweetener (n'à nothing do with the feet, but it's not good!)
If we can not do much against heavy legs, can be prevented:
- Do not put too tight at the waist
- Wear support stockings. Are there better (live pregnancies in winter!) Because they encase the legs and facilitate the rise of blood
- Drink herbal teas
- Es to make drainage massage (at the physio, it is most effective)
- Drink plenty of water
- D stretch your legs by raising it to reactivate the movement
- What we do LOVE the winter, the jet of cold water on the legs ankles and feet!
And nails in the story?
When the feet swell in turn, sometimes the nails do suffer (as much less space in shoes ...). Everything is easier in summer because it prefers, at this time, the typical open Birkenstock shoes (I hate the aesthetics, but they are guns for posture ...). The toes have room, everyone is happy.
In winter, with stockings and shoes closed, it is the cat and BOOM, you make ingrown toenails ... Do not panic, but run in a podiatrist podiatrist who can cut your nails with adequate instruments and sterile. It is better to favor a pro because no one has trouble bending down to her feet at a certain stage of her pregnancy, feet away from day to day! They tend to be cut as shown, c ' is to say quickly that hurts ... Beware an ingrown toenail is suffering horribly!
If there is one, ingrown toenail, should be disinfected with a mild antiseptic (betadine ABSOLUTELY over quantity of Dakin or you are pregnant, be careful!) Biseptine style or another ... Then we take an appointment with pro because risk of having stupid things trying to cut the nail tip which is embodied.
Some other tips:
- The footwear is essential for the best. Some friends swear by the UGG winter ... what to say ... except that it is absolutely forbidden! Just kidding, I just hate those boots. The Ugg do not maintain any of the feet, ankles, suddenly, it works no matter how often a side of the sole (yes, yes, watch girls walk with!)
- Prefer low-heeled boots, soft leather (it breathable foot), why not lined, but provide good support.
- This avoids the high heels that compact the foot forward. It was hard to walk forward, tightening the toes and one creates corns and ingrown toenails possible, yes even them.
And after childbirth?
Once they gave birth, it's cool, we can again take care of his feet yourself, unless you have taken a liking to the care pedicure in office! Once we took care of baby, and just before falling asleep (yes, you will hear everywhere he must sleep together with him for your conga mat, and if you succeed, c ' is!), massage your feet with a special cream to relax the footpad but also to moisturize and prevent cracking.
In short, if we want to summarize, you have to walk (without stepping), wear compression stockings, elevating legs, floor be properly and to use a pedicure podiatrist at least once during her pregnancy for a check up nails.
Sonia thank you for all of the above!

At least one problem of the pregnant woman that I avoid right now! Yet I am not very wise, and sometimes I wear heels despite my 10 pounds! But most of the time I'm still in ballerinas!
