swelling

I'm 37 weeks pregnant and swelling in my feet has doubled in rhetoric last few days. More in the left foot then In the right. What else can I do for this other then elevating them? I'm trying to work until I deliver her and I stand all day at work. My blood pressure is good too.  Any suggestions?

Mine swell a lot and drs keep telling me to drink more water, aside from elevate, but just that it's normal. I ask every visit and that's the response i get and they really swell bad. I can barely wear my flip flops. Lol. I also read less salt if you are a salt fan. Other ideas: maybe compression socks or rotate them often. Nothing seems to work for me though, so hope they work for someone.
