This warmer weather is NOT my friend right now!!!  Any advice.  I'm going for acupuncture.  I'm going to start no carbs or salt (as best I can).

    Try soaking in a tepid bath.  My cousin's wife had severe edema and that seemed to help her (per her doctor's recommendation).

    My hands are super swollen in the night/early morning.  When I wake up to go pee, I always run cold water over them and try to hold them up over my head for a few minutes... this seems to help.  I'm thinking I may start trying ice packs on my feet too... today is the first day my feet were still swollen after waking up.

    37 Weeks today - first time I have woke up swollen :( 

    Sometimes I was a bit swollen after working for 10+ hours but why when I wake up now??

     I will be trying everything people recommend here - I am not into being swollen at all!!

    I feel like a granny, but bought some epsom salts to soak my toes in. 

     I also got cucumbers and penty of fruits and veggies - hope that helps me out.  I have 8 more weeks to go!!!
