Too much salt can elevate your bp so yes watch your sodium intake. Drink lots of water and lay down on your left side.

Salt will regulate your water retention, so eat as much salty food as you desire. I avoided salt my first 2 trimesters and had to remove my wedding ring,  now I don't restrict my salt intake and can once again pop the ring back on :)

I agree with insomniac and to try and stay off them as much as you can. If you do have to be on them make sure you have on good support and comfortable shoes. That what help me since my job required me to be on my feets all day and some days I would come home with huge feet's.
