swollen ankles already

[chiwifey]

My ankles are pretty swollen already and I'll only be 27 weeks on Saturday. Anyone else swelling this early? Any tips to help? My next appt isn't until 6/17 so I thought I'd ask you gals until I got in there.

@feegan I've definitely been on my feet a ton this week because DH has been traveling. Hopefully trying to stay off of them a bit will help. I wasn't ready for this to happen so soon!

That's around the time mine started swelling. Get off your feet and keep them elevated as much as possible. I found wrapping my feet in cold compresses helped relieve the pain and itching from my skin stretching. Watch your sodium intake and drink lots of water. If it gets really bad, compression socks might help.

Mine just blew up at 15 weeks. But I'm blaming a particularly sodium filled day on my feet.

Mine were starting to get bad around week 18, and they only got worse. I'm in week 24 and my job requires me to be on my feet a lot. I got a prescription from the OB to be fitted for compression stockings. The ones at Walmart were crap (for me anyway) and only made things worse. So I got 2 pairs from a medical supply company and have noticed a world of difference!
