Salt intake..whats too much?

Salt intake..whats too much?

Lately I have been having very swollen and stiff feet.  Nothing elseis swollenand my blood pressure is ok.  I work at a daycare and I am on my feet all day, also I have been eating alot of sodium foods.  I called my doctor and she said it is fine I just need to cut my salt intake and elevate my feet when I can.  I stayed home today and they already looka  little better, but they are really sore on teh bottoms when I walk.  I was also told to drinka lot of water.  My DH is scared because right away he thinks I have toxemia!!!  I am only 20 weeks.  Anyone else going through this.  And does anyone know what the daily sodium intake should be???
