swollen sore hands, feet, and /or ankles

I'm 29 weeks and I have severe swollen hands, especially when I wake up. And swollen feet and ankles, during and even after work.
What do you mommies do to help the swelling? Especially with your hands?

Drinks lots of water so that your body doesn't retain it. Try to avoid foods high in sodium, and make sure to get plenty of time off of your feet. Unfortunately it is a part of pregnancy.
You don't have high BP, do you?
