What to do for swollen feet?

anakin · July 2009

Besides propping them up that is.

We're in the process of moving, so while I would love to put my feet up for long periods of time it just isn't gonna happen. As of right now I told DH that I could do 30 minutes on 30 minutes off when it comes to packing. I just don't have the energy to do much more than that.

But the feet are really getting to be uncomfortable. I seem to remember from my last pg that there were a few things the dr. recommended but I can't remember what they are.

Thanks for any help you can provide. And if you ever think of moving as you roll into the 3rd trimester (3rd tri starts Sunday for me) I highly recommend you don't do it. We have movers and we will pay them to do some packing, but we're trying to get as much done as possible ourselves. This move come up very suddenly and we're on a very short time frame. I am really hating it and can't wait for it to be all over.

TIA

Do you have a pool by chance? I've found laying in a cool pool helps a lot. If not, try to drink a ton of water and maybe put them in some cool (not cold) water.
