Swollen feet!

in September 2011 Moms

OH MY! I went to the bathroom earlier, and looked down to see two huge swollen boats where my feet used to be. I don't know if they've been slowly swelling all day and I just now noticed it, or they just puffed up in the last hour. But wowsers.

And they kinda hurt. Maybe not hurt, there is just a lot of pressure. :(

It's going to be a long summer, I do believe. (And it's going to be even hotter tomorrow. Fab.)

    I've been doing this all day. Sad That's why I'm so freaked out! It's just REALLY hot and humid here.

    My feet are really killing me now. Sigh.

    Get 2 gel ice packs and put them on a throw pillow, and your feet on top. It helped me so much last pregnancy when I was super swollen in the summer time.

    Thank you!! I was just thinking about ice and wondering if that would help! You must have been reading my mind. :)

    Yep, this happened to me with both my previous pregnancies which were in the summertime. Yesterday, it was the first warm day in a while and my feet swelled up right away, my ankle looked awful..

    In my childbirth class, I've learned that if you get swollen hands/feet, you may not be getting enough protein and salt in your diet. Try eating more protein (like 200gm a day) and salt (yes, more salt - it's because of our increased blood volume), and see if that helps.
