I've been suffering from really bad swelling in the feet/ankles since about 18wks!
I find the only thing that really helps is sleep, that is, lying down over night.
Putting my feet up at home or work doesn't really reduce it... I've had a massage, a proper foot one from the therapist, that seemed to help for a day or two, but then it came back up again.
I went to a wedding on a hot day when I was about 22wks and in between the ceremony and reception I had my feet up and DH rubbed them down with ice which seemed to help a bit, but they went up again at the reception.
I'm starting to get achey ankles now, probably because of the extra pressure on the joints, but there really isn't much else we can do about it!
Sorry!
If you are worried about the sick feelings too, give your MW a call. I'm sure they wouldn't mind if you rang now, as opposed to waiting til Wednesday.
