The best thing for fluid retention in late pregnancy is Dandelion Leaf Tea. Nettle is also good, but the Dandelion has a stronger diuretic effect, and is a brilliant source of Potassium. Loads of water is really important - I know it's difficult, but you need 2.5 - 3 litres in late pg and bf. Walking really helps to settle fluid retention too.

I'm not sure about lymphatic drainage during pregnancy - it can release toxins into the blood stream, which isn't what you want at this stage. If you go to a massage therapist who specialises in pregnancy massage, I'm sure you'll be in good hands.

Hang in there, not long to go!
