German health guides address swollen feet in pregnancy and blister prevention

Health advice in Germany highlights ways to reduce swollen feet that many pregnant women experience in the third trimester. Recommendations include regular moderate exercise such as walking or pregnancy‑friendly gymnastics, swimming to benefit from cool water pressure, alternating warm and cold showers to improve circulation, staying well‑hydrated, and maintaining a protein‑rich diet without restrictive dieting.

A separate guide recommends a low‑cost anti‑blister stick sold by the drugstore chain dm and produced by the brand be routine. The stick, containing shea butter and coconut oil, creates a protective film on the skin to minimise friction from shoes and keep the skin moisturised, helping to prevent blisters and minor wounds on the feet.
