Perhaps just wandering into your hosp. maternity ward where you are booked in to get a quick check of your blood pressure. Im sure they wont mind, just to set your own mind at ease. Or give them a quick call and see what they say.

As others have said get your BP checked. If all is OK with that then my only advice is to get your feet up above your head. That's what my OB told me to do when it happened to me. I hsd it for several months and it got worse towards the end so much so that I could barely walk with open toed shoes on (in the middle of winter). Lie on your couch with your head low & your feet up on pillows or the arm rests. He also said to massage your ankles & calves downwards (whilst they are pointing upwards) to encourage the fluid to return into the rest of your legs. I feel for you, I remember how uncomfortable that was.

HI Netix,
I get the same thing. But I have the luxury of no other children apart from my animals and a swimming pool. But for those days that I dont wanna sit in the pool I put my feet on some pillows and chuck some frozen peas or somehting thats frozen and cold on them and boy it makes you feel better!!!
