Hi all
I am now 36 weeks along, have finished work (yippee!), but have been getting really swollen ankles. I know this is very common in pregnancy but what can I do to reduce them?
This has been my first week away from work and I'm really enjoying being home but can't seem to make myself just sit down with my feet up. Is that the only way to make the swelling go down? I've been keeping fairly active with household duties and trying to get the baby's room ready - am I doing too much? Surely not! I feel fine apart from the fat feet. Is there any foods I should/shouldn't be eating to help?
Anybody's experiences and help with this one would be greatly appreciated.
