Remedies for swollen legs and feet?

anawhatsme · Oct 15th, 2009, 23:01 PM

Hi everyone. I am just past 18 weeks and for a while now I have been getting swollen ankles and feet. It comes and goes.
Now it has come back and my legs are swollen this time, along with my feet. They feel like pins and needles and the skin feels tight.
I don't see my doc until the 20th.
Do any of you know of any home remedies to help this?
It's kind of early for this isn't it?

Thanks!

Drink plenty of water, the biggest cause of water retention is dehydration, so make sure you're getting your RDA of water plus a little more and remember also that tea (unless it's fruit or herbal) is a diuretic

Hope this helps x
