FHN - Pregnancy and your Feet Pregnancy triggers many different changes in a woman's body.
Many women have common complaints throughout their pregnancy.
One of these complaints, often overlooked, is foot pain. Due to the natural weight gain during pregnancy, a woman's center of gravity is completely altered. This causes a new weight-bearing stance and added pressure to the knees and feet. Two of the most common foot problems experienced by pregnant woman are over- pronation and edema. Many women may also experience leg cramping and varicose veins due to weight gain.
