I lowered my salt intake with my first pregnancy because I thought that would help, but it didn't. I gained 25lbs of water weight during it my whole body would swell, it was terrible, people used to tell me to lay down and put my feet up, but that never helped because it was so bad. The only time I had relief was if I was sleeping...

Good luck to you!!! I hope it gets better soon...

I have not had that problem all pregnancy hands or feet thank goodness but if you are eating salt that will make you swell so if you are try and stay away from it and it should help
