swollen feet


Anyone got any tips for reducing the swelling in my feet? I know about elevating them & that u can wear support socks etc, but it drives me nuts laying down as this then pushes baby ino my ribs I then find it hard to breathe, & I have been told to try & stay upright as much as possible at the moment to try & get babys head to go down I dont fancy the support socks
My feet are freezing cold & numb on the puffy bits & it stings a bit as if the skin is getting too tight so any other tips will be greatly appreciated

My dad told me to put ice in a tea towel and put that on the swollen bits when Ive had swollen ankles in the past but that was for arthritic pain more than water retention or anything.

Probably worth a try though.

Whatever you do, don't try the heat spray. Agony.
