Swelling in feet and ankles

This has just recently become an everyday problem... I've tried propping them up and icing them, but it still hurts and is puffy. What else might work? I'm also thinking about bringing it up to my OB on Friday since my blood pressure has been running higher lately...

Lots and lots of water along with proping them up.

Absolutely bring it up to your dr. Could be signs of pre eclampsia

Try medical compression socks, they can be pricy but worth it! Any pharmacy with a supply store should have them. Put them on first thing in the morning and do tell your doctor
