swelling

Anyone have tips on how to keep the swelling down? Im in my third trimester and my feet are swelling quite a bit. Ive been cleared of any medical issues and drink water all day but my skin is so tight and swollen. Any tips?

I work 12 hour days so elevating my feet is only accomplished after im off, it will be a long 6 weeks if i cant get the swelling down

I usually soak my hands and feet in cold water when I start to swell, stay away from salts, and of course lots of liquids! Also elevating your feet definitely helps

Drink lots and lots of water! Avoid too much sodium and elevate feet! And walk to keep blood flowing
