Ren i know everyone has a story and being my first pregnancy too i didnt really have an idea on what to expect. I have had extreme swelling sine 24 weeks, it is to the point now where i have no idea what my feet looked like before because they dont go back to normal
I can only go barefoot or wear thongs when i go out. My bp and urine are all normal and thankfully the swelling is contained to my feet and legs and not my face.
They are so ugly and have horrible purple spider veins all over them, sometimes the sweling is so bad that they go numb from lack of circulation.
Things that help a little bit are massage, cold water foot spa, and if its not too hot i will go for a walk after dinner to get things moving a bit. Elevation helps a little but when i out them down they go straight back to puffy.
If you are ever concerned that something is wrong - just call the hossy - thats what its there for. I hope the swelling and restless legs dont get much worse for you xo
