Feet swelling

I'm only 18 weeks along, but my feet are already swelling. I work on my feet and at the end of everyday they are sore and swollen. I thought this only happened towards the end of the pregnacy. I never had any swelling with my first daughter and I gained a bunch of weight. I haven't gained any yet with this pregnancy and I'm swelling...
Anybody else's feet blowing up?

    My feet were really swollen during a recent work trip. I think it was the combo of the flight and a lot of walking. My doc recommended compression stockings, so maybe you could wear them while you're on your feet at work. They'll keep the swelling down and prevent blood clots.

    I've been doing that if I over do it. Remember to drink your water, to put your feet above your heart when you can and Epsom salt foot soaks work great for sore, tired and swollen feet.
