Any retail workers with tips for serious feet swelling?

Question

I work retail standing 44 hours a week, and new shoes haven't helped, diabetic socks haven't helped, nothing helps! Doctor says no worries about preeclampsia because my blood pressure is always great, and no protein in my urine. My poor feet just hate all the standing! I'm 30+2 and trying to work as long as I can right up until labor so I can use all my leave for after my son arrives. Anyone have tips to help?

Answer

Soak them in diluted apple cider vinegar , and drink 2 tbs diluted in water with honey every day. Helps tremendously

Answer

My doctor told me all the same things! My feet and legs look like that everyday by end of day!!
Compression socks, better shoes and drinking a gallon of water haven't helped me!!
Trying soaking them in epsom salt baths and elevating the whole time you aren't working!!

Answer

Talk to your boss about taking more frequent breaks and put your feet up during the break. And don't worry about the swelling, your body retains more water during pregnancy, not to mention increased blood supply.

Answer

Oh gosh I don't swell that bad when working the floor. Maybe try doing exercises that bring more circulation?? I did leg workouts so I could stay on my feet longer.

Answer

Are the doctors sure it's nothing?
I'm 31 weeks and work as well and have no swelling whatsoever
