swollen ankles and feet...

I am 27 weeks and my ankles and feet have pretty much stayed swollen and achy. Any suggestions on how to prevent or lessen the swelling effects? I don't wear heels at work. Any little tricks or tips are appreciated.

Are you drinking enough water? Take your weight and divide it by 2 and that is how many ounces you need per day for a healthy pregnancy.
