I like to call them Sausage Legs

in September 2012 Moms
So...the summer weather is here and it appears that I won't be seeing a pair of shoes for a while. I'm about 26 weeks and my feet, ankles, and legs are resembling summer BBQ treats rather them the former stems I once had. I keep my feet elevated when I can, I drink obscene amounts of water, I have cut back on salt to no avail. Any other tips out there???

    I'm in the same boat.  Ice and massage can help, too.  Gentle, yet firm strokes from your feet to your knee can help move the fluid along.

    Not much you can do other then what you're doing!  With my first I had the worst sausage legs from the knees down.  I can remember having trouble getting my pants far enough down to neatly give a urine sample (gross but true!)...

    My doctor has me drinking a whole fresh squeezed lemon in my water daily and it has helped so much I am amazed. Still swollen some but not as bad and definitely not as painfully. 

     Off to the supermarket I go!!! Thanks!
