what helps swollen feet

I am 31 weeks and for a good month or so my feet have been swollen and I cant wear sneakers.  Its driving me loca. With my first I didn't really experience this much because he was born in June.  My 2nd is due in November.  I so dislike being pregnant during the summer.

If there's a community pool nearby, try going for a swim. The pressure from the water can help your body reabsorb the excess fluid. Drink lots and I mean lots of water. Your urine should be really light yellow to almost clear. Avoid extra salt and sleep on your left side as much as possible. Good luck!
