Buy some comfy slippers that have a plastic sole. They have the ones that look like they could be regular shoes. I wore them to work the last couple months of my pregnancy. They have memory foam inside. They are very comfy.

Try to reduce your salt intake some, to help reduce water retainage. Put your feet up through out the day, and try not to wear shoes that are restrictive! I have even heard of people wearing some type of support hose to help with swelling in their legs and feet. I don't know much about those myself, but you could always give it a try :)

kayla-love - 86 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) If they are so swollen then I would go to your doctor. You have to be careful of preeclampsia in pregnancy. Just go and have a check to be on the safe side.

Mommyof2boys - 86 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Slight swelling is expected during pregnancy; however, if you experience sudden swelling in your hands and your face, it could be a sign of preeclampsia/edema. Drink LOTS of water and try to rest through out the day.

Baby3OnWay - 86 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I would go in and see your Dr as they like to keep an eye on things like sweeling and such in pregnancy. Although it could be a normal symptom you sound like your a little uncomfortable and i would feel better if I were you going in and making sure it was ok and asking about what I can/could do to help with it all! Best of Luck

mommauv4 - 86 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Are you getting pitting? When you push on the skin it takes a bit of time to pop back out. Do you have other symptoms like peeing less, bad headaches, dizziness, nausea and vomitting? If so see your doctor now! Have you talked to your dr. if not you really should. Sit with your feet elevated, try soaking your feet in icy cold water. YOu might want to look up preeclampsia on the net and see if you have any of the symptoms- some swelling is normal but can be a warning sign too.

mommy-of-3 - 86 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I hear you on the swollen feet, the arch on my feet is in constant pain now and no amount of massaging seems to work out the pain. The only thing I've been trying is I have one of those electric foot soaking tubs and that gives me at least some temporary relief.
