Anyone experiencing edema?

[angie9108]

I'm 29 weeks. Is anyone experiencing edema? What are you doing for it?

Yes, and it is out of control! I elevate my feet every night and that helps but between working outside and spending afternoons at the ballfield cheering on the older brother my feet barely fit in my flip flops by the time we get home. I try to put them up as often as I can but I don't have a lot of down time and I do drink a ton of water. I'm open for any other suggestions...

Hard to so but elevate.your feet above yoir heart every night. In the morning.the ankles look good but after work i have one long leg. Cant see any shape do to swelling. Lots of water. Be careful,  this could lead to preaclampsia. Watch you weight gain, if you gain a significant amount in one week. Contact your health care provider... this happened to me!! Be thankful your almost done!

I go for walks And drink plenty of water. My husband also gives me a foot rub too. I hope this helps.
