I've had the same issue and I've been doing the same. Baths with Epson salt are also a great back pain reliever. I feel very lucky that I haven't swollen in my feet or ankles yet, but I have been getting a lot more pain in my feet. I can't do as much walking anymore. Due in 3 1/2 weeks but I really hope she's early. It's my first and ouch! Having a lot of pressure on my hip joints (guessing sciatica) and sharp pains in my vagina especially when I lie down. She hasn't dropped yet but I'm having Braxton hicks once in a while. Wish she'd drop but then the pain will just get worse.
