Feet swollen......

[mommyd2012]

So I did a lot of walking this weekend and I'm paying for it now! My feet are sooooo swollen! (38weeks)

Does anyone else have this problem where they are so swollen that the skin feels so tight that when you put weight on them they feel like they will spilt open?

Also I have been pushing water and also have them elevated....but does anyone else know what else I could do to help the swelling go down faster?

Coconut water is amazing for swelling! I drink it when I am working all day and I go home and my feet look normal. Its great!

My feet have been swelling bad since I was 20 weeks and I am now almost 35wks. It usually takes my feet two - three days to get the swelling down after one day of over doing it. Having my husband rub them hurts but it does help.

I've been dealing with EXTREMELY swollen feet since about 35 weeks .. I'm now 39 and OVER IT. I can't even wear shoes.. flip flops .. nothing. I have to wear xl slippers its ridiculous.  and they're ALWAYS swollen no matter what I do.. I don't even stay on my feet a lot and I always have them up. its so painful. have someone rub your feet.. I know I'm retaining water and a lot of it is in my feet and they get rock hard. if u rub them until they get soft the swelling usually goes down .. also put them up but elevate them above your heart.. otherwise it doesn't really make a difference..

Oh yes mine did that so bad with my son and I can tell they are gonna be the same this time...I tend to carry a lot of fluid so I swell for no damn reason :/

Mine swelled up so bad, it actually did split open. Right under my pinky toe. I try to rub them to get the circulation going, use ice packs, soak them in cold water and if I am outside and let the boys play in the water, I'll turn the hose on my feet.

I feel ya. I had my baby shower today in 103° weather. Was on my feet all day. They are so swollen and the skin feels so tight that it hurts. Im 36 Weeks.  I ran cold water over them at first, and now i have them elevated. hope they go down soon, its so sore :/

I would soak my feet in salt water (Epson salt)
