swollen foot

So tonight I am experiencing a new symptom. .. swollen feet and ankles (specifically just my right foot and and ankle tonight)! :-) I happily take all symptoms since I am super excited about what my body is creatin! My question is what you ladies did to help this. I'm in the middle of my 15th week and hoping you ladies have some good advice/home remedies for me :) I read 80% of women experience this. I just had a check up on Wednesday and there isn't any protien in my urine and they said my weight is consistent and good so I'm not sure if pre-eclampsia is a concern... I just think it's the symptom of the day.  Thanks ladies!

I'd say put your feet up, drink tons of water and avoid salt as it will make you swell like crazy... Also as your belly gets bigger try not to let your belly rest on your legs because it slows the fluid return from your legs

Hardedt thing that helps is putting up your feet... I get ankle and leg pain bad at night so I.have extra bananas and need to start reading at night...I also found I can't wear ankle socks which is sad
