Hi everyone,
I'm 36wks pg with my second child and have really painful, swollen feet and ankles. It's horrible!
The skin, especially across the bridge of my feet, feels like it's going to split, and I can't bear anything touching it - I can't get socks on and any shoes feel like they've shrunk several sizes! I'm wearing the loosest sandals I own and even they're agony to walk in. They leave purple dents!!
I've got my feet up as much a I can, but it doesn't seem to make any difference, and they'renow just as swollen and unsightly when I wake in the morning as when I went to bed. I feel like I want to rub them but it really hurts (not to mention the issue of actually reaching my feet now!)
Does anyone out there have any tips, or found anything worked to relieve the pressure?
