Seriously painful fluid retention

Hi everyone,

Someone has to have a remedy, surely!

I'm 31 weeks, and my fluid retention is ridiculous. My feet have completely ballooned and are almost unbearable to walk on. I am really in alot of pain. I have 3.5 weeks left at work and I just don't know how on earth I'm going to do it. My fingers are completely locked in the mornings and I spend 10 minutes in bed every morning gently moving them to start working.

The hands I can handle, the feet are causing me serious pain and discomfort.

Does anyone know anything that will help? I elevate my feet when I get home in the evenings and have also tried soaking them in water.

I desperately want to finish work earlier, but I work in a small office and there is no replacement for my position as yet, so I feel bad leaving them in the lurch.

Help ladies! This pregnancy is sucking the life out of me!

omg i hear u

iv been like this for weeks now, cant walk on my feet they hurt so bad, i wake up my fingers will not move they are so swollen and i cant move them

iv tried drinking more water, putting them up, everything

it helps when i get DF to massage upwards at night with my feet, to try and push the fluid upwards and out of my feet

but i really dont know anything that has helped me , sorry :(

I just posted a couple of tips to help reduce swelling in another thread. Check it out here
