Also when massaging be very careful of the thin spot behind her ankles there's a pressure point back there that can and very well could induce labor my sister in law worked at a foot doctor and told me this before i got my last pedicure :) you can google it to find out exactly where the spot is at to make sure you avoid it :)

if you give her a foot massage be careful choosing the lotion/oils my doctor only recomends natural oils/lotions because of soaking into skin and preterm labor

Sounds like bad circulation. I suggest walks then elevate her feet and do speak to her doctor about it.
