How to reduce water retention during pregnancy with Icoone?
Having a baby is one of the most wonderful events in life, except for a woman's back and legs. During pregnancy, swelling, puffiness, and water retention are a completely natural effect, so don't worry, it's very common!
Why does water retention increase during pregnancy?
The ankles, feet, legs, and face can swell due to the accumulation of extra fluid caused by changes in hormones that allow the body to expand and the uterus to enlarge as the baby grows.
As a result, circulatory disorders such as
- water retention and poor lymphatic drainage
- fluid stagnation, especially in the lower extremities
- excess fluid that accumulates in the legs
This normal fluid retention is known as edema, and it begins to become noticeable around the middle of pregnancy, peaking in the third trimester.

The importance of hydration
Choose healthy and natural diuretic foods whenever you feel like snacking. It may seem like a contradiction, but keeping hydrated is an easy way to keep fluids moving in your body. Of course, drinking plenty of water is the best of all hydration options.
Moderate, steady and gentle exercise
Regular and gentle exercise, such as swimming or walking, can help reduce water retention during pregnancy. Wear comfortable shoes and use orthotic inserts in your shoes to reduce excess weight on your feet and lower back. Other tips include sleeping on your left side to encourage blood to return to the heart and elevating your legs whenever possible. Water retention and swelling accumulate mostly at the end of the day, so lie down for a few minutes, put pillows under your feet, and relax.
Take care of your body and its natural transformation, prepare yourself physically and mentally to carry your pregnancy in full health and well-being.
