Swollen feet and ankles: What are your go-to remedies?

Question

Hey ladies! Swollen feet and ankles can make walking feel like a challenge. Have you found any effective ways to reduce swelling or relieve the discomfort? Share your tips and let's keep those feet happy!

Answer

I haven’t dealt with swelling much this pregnancy except for a few times where I sat too long in the car or something, but my last pregnancy I had it BAD, almost daily. Compression socks are helpful, also making sure you’re hydrated, lowering the salt content of your diet and make sure you’re moving your body regularly. Epsom salt baths help to draw out swelling from your legs and are relaxing as well. Elevate your feet when you’re sitting or resting, and try not to sit for long periods.

Answer

Compression socks ans elevating your feet are all that can help for this unfortunately. I did buy some offbrand "cloud" slippers on Amazon like these for around my house since our hardwood floors made my feet ache extra and they have been wonderful the last 2 pregnanies.
