  • You poor thing.  It makes me thank my lucky stars that my discomfort is all centered in my torso... back pain, abdominal stretching, etc.  I haven't had any of the bloat that I see some have to deal with.

    Does putting your feet up help?

  • Believe it or not, but I had major swelling up until about 2 weeks ago.  It all magically went away, so there is hope that it won't last for 13 weeks. 
  • Makes my feet throb just looking at yours!  Nice polish though, way to keep on top of the pedi's!

     Yes, it does.  That picture is from last night... after I spent an hour standing at a work function in heels.  So, I've learned my lesson.  No more heels for me!

  • Yikes, yours look worse than mine.  Sorry you're having a tough time.
  • Ouch prop those suckers up after soaking them in cool water.
  • Not sure if it will be the same for you, but I had bad swelling in my feet went away a couple weeks ago. Hang in there!
  • I think it was aroud that time that my swelling start too.  I am wearing compression stockings during the day to help.  Last week it got so bad that I am now on modified bed rest until my c-section on 11/3.  I am only allowed to work 4 hours in a day.  I hope yours gets better!!

  • My feet are very swollen too.  The swelling started 2 weeks ago (at 29 weeks).  I try to keep them elevated and sometimes use ice packs at night.  The swelling goes down a lot by the morning, but once I'm on my feet again, they blow up.  Sneakers seem to help.  I hope you find some relief soon.

    I feel your pain! 

    I haven't worn heels in months and months and my feet still look like that (or worse sometimes!) at the end of the day.  And I don't stand all day either!

    Would it be too rash to just cut my feet right off?!

  • It's already starting for me...I was advised to get pregnancy tea and do yoga inversions 3x/day for 5 min.

    But, keep in mind you need to use a bolster or something under your butt to lift you a bit.
