Only 6 weeks gone and already got Nanny Robson feet - help!

Hello

Firstly I should explain, Nanny Robson was my dear old grandmother (who was actually a bit of an old bag) who lived to a ripe old age and had very fat swollen, fluid filled feet for most of her old age.

I am 6 weeks pregnant with my second child (DD will be 4 in July) and my ankles are already swelling and full of water - mostly in the evenings so far.

In my first pregnancy my feet "went" at 23 weeks and I didn't get them back until 2 weeks after the birth. Am I going to have Nanny Robson feet for the whole of my pregnancy?? Does anyone have any tips on how to reduce/help them?

Any advice, comment (feel free to tell me off for dwelling on something so minor!) would be much appreciated.

Compression stockings to support your lymphatic draining system which seems to be struggling??
