I could barely wear shoes, and the swelling didn't go down right away either. I think it was a good week before I lost all that water weight. I never found anything that worked, besides keeping them elevated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/elephant-feet#post-1883395 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 19:40:33 +0000 babynumber1 1883395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My feet were *huge* during pregnancy. So big I was embarrassed to wear capris when it was 85 outside. Nothing worked until I finally had the baby. </p> <p>No real advice, just commiserating! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/elephant-feet#post-1883359 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 19:10:51 +0000 lawbee11 1883359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried everything. The only thing that helped was having the baby :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/elephant-feet#post-1883342 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 18:44:22 +0000 Mrs. Deer 1883342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: I had to wear compression stockings with my last pregnancy (only knew about them from being in healthcare).

One good thing is to try and keep them elevated during the day, or make an effort to get up and walk around a bit during the day.<br /> But...for me, the only thing that reduced the swelling was having a baby ;). Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/elephant-feet#post-1883312 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 18:20:17 +0000 FaithFertility 1883312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My feet for the past week are getting more and more swollen......today I couldn't even wear my shoes after work...so I left my classroom wearing the big comfy slippers I wear in there daily.....lol </p> <p>Any things to help......<br /> I drink soo much water daily, ice them at night and keep them elevated...........Midwife said really not much I can do!</p> <p>Here is DH ice wrap job.....lol...he is the best!</p> <p>[attach=3878/14/ncqm5t.600x337.picture012.jpg] </p>
