Swollen Feet

February 23, 2014

My feet are so swollen they almost feel like they are going numb... (I also informed the dr. about the swelling on Wednesday and my blood pressure was normal and they aren't concerned). And I know, I know "stay off your feet" and "prop them up" are the go-to things to do... But there are just too many things to do. How can I nest with my feet up?

Melissa Jensen Allen: Just do it!! You have 5 more weeks right?!!! Don't over do it!!!

Chelsea Johnston: You can draw sketches like me  haha but that's not really getting anything done other than understanding exactly what I want and where I want it.

Chelsea Johnston: Sorry your feet have been so swollen! Have you tried sleeping with your feet propped up a little? Hopefully that way they at least start off normal in the morning? I don't know though; my feet don't get too swollen, but I'm also not running around all day. My feet are the last thing to feel awful before I decide I have to stop. These darn babies of ours! I hope you can figure something out. Sorry your doctor didn't have any advice.

Diane DeVos Marco: Very carefully...

Sunny Green: I know you're probably not wanting to buy anything... but compression stockings help a TON with that.

Michelle Granger Moose: Welcome to motherhood!

Melissa Jensen Allen: I agree with Sunny. I was going to say compression socks! It helps and it really does feel a lot better on. Try it.
