Swelling question?

g8trbaby01

So I'm 25 weeks with trips, measuring 37 weeks. Of course all the joys of the 3rd trimester are creeping up. But the sweeping has gotten pretty bad. I've reduced my sodium and I'm drinking plenty of water, but my biggest fear is bed rest.....I seriously woke up today went to work 5 hr shift and within 2 hrs my feet were swollen so bad my sneakers had to come off and not go back on. So now I've been on sofa elevated for the past 2 hrs and they are slowly going down....but I. Just worried that my doctor is going to say bed rest

If it happens, it happens. I've been doing modified bed rest since week 16 (28w now), and while I wish things were different, I found that accepting it is the best option for me.



You may want to try compression socks and some adjustable shoes - like the sneakers that look like mary Janes - to help with the swelling.
