Hippo Feet - Help Please

[Flashman]

DW is now at 33 weeks, and her feet and ankle have become rather swollen, does any one have an advice on how to improve this other than elevation of her feet. I have tried to rub them for her, but she said this hurts. And she has said this is not due to me rubbing them too hard as that was my first question.

I think this is just part and parcel of being pregnant! - Massage and elevation might help but I don't know of any other remedies - maybe another mner will be more helpful, so am bumping for you.

put a pillow at the foot end of the bed under the sheet - sleeping with them elevated makes a huge difference

also cold footbaths

oh it is cold footbaths!! - I tried hot water yesterday to see if that would help - not a success.

not standing for long periods of time

support tights might help

definitely cold foot baths and elevation at night.

also, keep an eye out if swelling suddenly worsens and if her hands also get swollen too. especially if she has a headache too.
