Eat foods with low sodium,drink lots of water,(we tend to absorb sodium wich makes us retain water) and lay down and elevate your feet.


Sometimes we just can't help it.


But if you notice dramatic swelling, discuss it with your OBGYN/ Doctor.


It could be something serious like i had

you got alot of water and fluid in you.don't eat salt ,,it makes you retain the water,be sure to tell your doctor,,you can get that poisoning thing while your pregnant,,be sure and call him,he may give you a water pill..wish you luck honey..
When you are lying down, try lying on your side. But, if you haven't already done so, check with your midwife or doctor - severe swelling can be a symptom of pre-eclampsia - my sister had it and her feet swelled so much that her toes didn't touch the ground when she was standing.
First of all, call your doctor...





Then, lay off the salt, sugar and the over-processed carbs. Drink at least 64 oz of water. Elevate your feet when you sit.
stop eating salt


and stop drinking soda


drink more water,


go see your doctor
