I just got tested for preeclampsia a few days ago and I was fine. Thanks for all the suggestions ladies. I made a pact with myself that I'm only going to drink water and tea from now on!(:

Keep them elevated as many times as you can during the day ! Drink plenty of water it really helps !

I have horrible swelling to the point where my ankles are bruised from being swelled up so bad. Keep your feet elevated above your heart as much as possible and try to lower your salt intake

Mine get swollen if I sit or stand for 5 min or more. I usually stay home so I lay on the couch or bed to avoid swelling.

Yep, mine are I'm 35+2 and I have yet to find a way. My doc says to have your feet propped up over your heart to reduce swelling, also informed me that once i put them down again they're just going to get swollen again-.- so I gave up on trying
