24 Apr Pregnancy and your feet Having just returned back from maternity leave I thought it would be a good idea to write about some of the common foot complaints during pregnancy. Pregnancy triggers many changes to a women's body. Many women have common foot complaints throughout their pregnancy, especially at the latter stage of the pregnancy. Two of the most common presenting complaints we tend to see include swollen (oedematous) feet and flattening of the arch (over-pronation) which can lead to arch and heel pain.
