Aching feet

[someonesmother]

I'm currently 31 weeks and have recently developed horrible aching feet!
We're going through a heatwave here (a week so far of 28-35 degrees daily) and maybe this is what has brought it on.
I wouldn't say they're swollen, just aching like I've been on a hike or something!
I'm reasonably active, but by no means am I walking all day. I wear comfortable shoes. I've put on 10 kilos, wondering if this might be contributing too...

Anyone else in the same boat? Tips and tricks to ease my pain?

Yes! I've had this too for the last couple of weeks (am 29 weeks now). There are definitely days when I feel like I've been on a hike too even though I haven't been doing an excessive amount of walking at all. I have put it down to extra weight and am just trying to wear trainers as much as I can although even that doesn't help massively. Sorry, no advice really and I think I've just repeated what's in your post but definitely a lot of sympathy!

Sending you stmpathy too, calypso!

I read about soaking with Epsom salts and was wondering if anyone has tried it and found it to work!
