What can I buy or do for my extremely swollen ankles ? I'm 39 weeks pregnant .

Question

Answer

It sounds crazy but increase your water intake. Keep your feet elevated and try doing a warm Epsom salt soak

Answer

Compression socks and relaxation! I hope the swelling goes down easy

Answer

Decrease salt intake, increase the amount of water you're drinking. Keep the feet elevated, and go for a walk! Getting your heart rate up will help that circulate through. Also putting cold compresses (frozen hand towels work great) on your feet while their elevated will help to force the lymph back up your leg. Also, you could see if any massage therapists in your area offer lymphatic drainage massage. They'll manually pump the lymph fluid (which causes the swelling) along its course.

Answer

Yeah best thing you can do is get the elevated as much as you can! Make sure you metion it at your next appointment x

Mine are the same and It sucks because I can't wear any of my shoes , but my Alegerias I wear to work and a pair of Nikes I have . All my cute boots are just sitting in the closet .

Answer

I have read but not tried that exercise can help. Obviously you are 39 weeks along but moving helps move the fluid out. When you are not on your feet elevate them above your hips .

Answer

Make sure your feet are elevated above your heart.

Answer

I got my sis a foot soaker /massager from Walmart.  Epsom salt and those compression socks.  I never had swelling but it helped her a lot.

Answer

Drink a ton of water! If it's hard to drink water you can add a lot of ice (that helped me) or crystal light flavoring.

Answer

Soak your feet and legs in an ice bucket with epsom.salt. Hot water works as well. Once you get the swelling down try to prop your legs up.and relax
