swollen hands and feet

[antrose124]

Anyone else got really bad swollen hands, fingers, wrists, feet, toes, ankles and sometimes the knee joint too?
I'm so over it, I'm 37 wks and had it since wk 32. Putting feet up doesn't help much cos the weight of baby pushes on nerves in my hip.
They are constantly hot, tingly, itchy and look horrendous. Had to go and buy the biggest men's shoes I could find and they only just fit with laces opened right up!
I know.. only 3 weeks to go, but anyone else suffering?

I know how you feel. Drinking lots of water helps me and walking around. Try wearing shoes that have support and not flat footed shoes. When your feet start to tingle or feel uncomfortable prop them up and drink water

My doc advice me in order not to get that is to drink lots of water and stay away from slat and stay active thru my pregnancy.  I will be praying for u ladys to get better.

Drink tons of water. Compression socks help too. If you sit at a desk for work like I do, make sure you get up and walk around every so often to get your blood flowing. These things have helped me. I also eat a banana every day which I've been told helps with swelling, but not sure if that's true.

I can't wear my wedding ring nor wear my flats/most of my shoes, I'm swollen all over and have extremely dry itchy skin. I've found soaking in Epsom salt helps a bit

Yes! My feet and ankles are very swollen. My feet feel like they are burning all the time even though it's -20° outside, I want to wear flip flops onto the snow to cool them down! My fingers and wrists also swelled  and I can't wear any jewelry anymore. Only 8 more wks!!
