Keeping active & upright Vs keeping legs elevated

Hi I'm 40 + 3 today, suffering with the heat dying of boredom because I'm too big to do anything and have SPD. My latest growth scan estimated my baby at 9lbs already so I'm desperate to get things moving! Obviously keeping active and upright is meant to speed things up but if I don't sit with my legs up they swell up like balloons. So frustrating :-( any tips?!

I'm not as far along as you but have exactly the same problem! I can't figure out which is worse, the pelvis pain and fear that the baby won't be in the right position, or the massive sausage feet!

Sorry this isn't a solution, I just wanted to empathise!

I agree !! Active or ankles I am almost 38 and not sure either!
