I literally can not walk right now

I slept for 10 hours last night. All I did today was go to lunch with a friend and then went to Target for about a hour, and now I'm home and I can barely walk, my feet are so swollen, and my back is killing! It wasn't like I was on my feet all day long!

Ugh! I can't believe this is how it's going to be for the next 5 weeks or so! I've had a great pregnancy so far, so I guess I hit a wall and it's downhill from here...

What do you all do for swelling and aching feet? I'm drinking a ton of water and trying to relax whenever possible.

    I was feeling the same way on Sunday.  I couldn't even get off the couch, so I went to bed very early and ended up feeling much better on Monday.  But on Sunday, I was thinking to myself there was no possible way that I would be able to last another 6 weeks feeling the way I did.  Hopefully this will just come and go and you will feel much better.  Just listen to your body and don't try to over exert yourself.

    Yeah... I shopped from 9:30am till about 4 this afternoon with my friend... I had to punk out on a couple stores toward the end due to sore feet and RLP and sit on the mall couches with all the old people.   Embarrassed

    It won't be like this for the next 5 weeks. I have days where I feel worse than you and then others where I work, to go the gym, shop, and clean the house. Just listen to your body and do what you can. I've learned that because of my back pain. As far as swelling...put your feet up above your head and drink lots of water.

    I know how you feel, but I didn't get that way until the last week or so.  It sucks.  Hopefully, it was just a one time thing for you.
