A. It happens as the pregnancy progresses as ankle joint and knee joint are weight bearing joints so you can soak your feet in salt water at night time and massage them with sesame oil at bed time and keep the elevated little by keeping a pillow under them

A. Ankle swelling is common during pregnancy in the last trimester. But you also need to have proper consultation with your doctor to know about your Blood Pressure or if you need any investigations.

A. Take some warm water add some salt into it and after that keep your feet deep into it for a while that’s going to be helpful but is the spelling is increasing over the period then in that case it is better to consult your doctor because spelling is not good in pregnancy
