    swollen ankles at 19 weeks

    I've noticed over the last 2 weeks, my ankles are swelling more and more...

    Last night, as I went to bed, they were so swollen...almost like tennis balls for ankles!!!

    My fingers are also swelling a bit...

    I know swelling is normal in pregnancy, but I thought it happened later, in 3rd trimester.

    Has anyone got any hints to alleviate the swelling?

    I try to put my feet up when I can...but don't get that much of a chance at work...

    I've started going to a reflexologist specialising in pregnancy, but not sure whether that's really going to be a huge help with swelling (it will no doubt help with other stuff though...especially relaxation)
