How far gone are you? My legs, ankles and feet and like trunks most of the time with oedema (water retention swelling)
I be 26 weeks tomarrow x
Ah that's a nice time. Feet swelling shouldn't be too bad at the moment. Try spending 10-15 mins a day with feet higher then heart to get fluids to drain back into body. I'm 38 weeks now and am so swollen that my feet feel like they are burning when the skin stretches. It's an unpleasant side effect of pregnancy you do what you can to control it & minimise if. Drinking water is supposed to help X
I'm still swollen now and my girl is 13days old tomorrow. mw said its because i had c section.but my bloods cameback and i've got anemia.hopefully iron tablets will help.
Leg is lot better today thanks for all tips x
