Swelling?

I'm 30 weeks and this has been a bad week for swelling. My the end of the day, I feel like my feet are going to bust right through my shoes! It's so uncomfortable and rather unsightly! I have no other signs of preeclampsia. Any suggestions on bringing down the swelling? I see my doctor next week and plan on mentioning it then. Would love some advice!

    If you tend to be on your feet a lot, try taking more sitting breaks. If you sit a lot, try standing and taking short walking breaks throughout the day. Staying in one position (sitting or standing) tends to make swelling worse.  I've been lucky to have little swelling but during trips I always swell and I think it's because of the time I spend sitting in the car or the plane. Try taking walks, putting your feet up, and make sure that you are drinking lots of water.
