There is no necessary connection between swollen hands and feet in late pregnancy and labor. Most pregnant women experience swollen hands and feet in late pregnancy mainly because the uterus enlarges and compresses the inferior vena cava, causing obstruction of venous return to the lower extremities. In addition, swollen feet can be caused by increased blood pressure in late pregnancy, which affects the filtration function of the kidneys. When the baby starts to enter the pelvis, i.e., when it is about to give birth, the pressure on the inferior vena cava will be reduced, and the edema will be relieved at that time. Therefore, swollen hands and feet in late pregnancy do not indicate the time of delivery. If the swelling increases rapidly within a short period of time, it is necessary to be alert to serious diseases such as pre-eclampsia, and it is recommended to consult an obstetrician as soon as possible. In conclusion, when swollen hands and feet appear in late pregnancy, the mother-to-be should ensure sufficient rest, do not stand or sit for a long time, elevate the feet appropriately to relieve edema, and sleep in the left side position; at the same time, ensure the intake of animal foods such as meat, fish, shrimp, eggs, milk and bean foods, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.
