Swollen ankles & feet ? Anyone else ?

Question

I'm currently 22 weeks 5 days... My ankle that I injured last is bothering me a bit but I noticed today it's a little swollen ? What can I do to bring the swelling down a bit.. or to prevent it from swelling any larger. I do walk alot because I don't have a car at the moment could this be contributing to it ?

Answer

Lie down and elevate them- that should help some.

Answer

Drink lots and lots of water. Even if you feel like you've had plenty, drink more.

Answer

An old injury? I was a little confused by when you hurt it? If it's recent, use ice. I've started noticing some very slight swelling at the end of the day. We just need to drink lots of water, elevate our legs when we can and watch the salt.

Answer

I brought up my swelling at my 23 week appt yesterday and the midwife told me she thought it was jist due to how hot is been in my area.  Mid 90s most days.  I've been soaking in Epsom salt and chilly water.  Keep em up as much as you can.  It's not fun.  Hopefully it helps a little.  We still have a long way to go!
