Thought I was getting off nice and lightly with my pregnancy.... which I am....but have developed swollen ankles this week... yum yum! They're ok in the morning but by the end of the day they're like elephant legs. Not a good look!
Anyone have a miracle cure for this? I hoping stopping work will help.
Keep your feet elevated as much as possible. And bizarly the best thing for any water retention is to drink plenty of fluids, avoid caffinated drinks and duretics.
i was ucky enough not to get swollen ankles and feet till about 2 hours after i gave birth to colby like cat said best thing to do is keep your feet up as much as possible and drink plenty, within 3 days mines were better
Doing everything else (not had caffeine in 12 months and have addiction to milk at the mo) but keeping my feet up. Looking forward to some of that next week

Keep those legs up and get DH to massage 'em!
