I've just got off a 3 hour flight to Spain and my legs, feet and ankles have swollen up... any tips for getting rid of this swelling please help!
I did drink lots of water on the flight and stood up/ moved around quite a lot too

Get yourself into a cool pool or the sea. Also elevate your legs whilst you sleep, gravity will do the rest

I forgot to say- we flew to Aus when I was about 13 weeks and had a similar issue. The above helped a lot!! The heat of an Australian summer... not so much!
