If you are drinking fizzy drinks of any kind, cut them out. Elevate your feet higher than the rest of your body.<br /> Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/water-retention#post-67112 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 09:26:03 +0000 heffalump 67112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My feet/cankles were huge when I was pregnant. Summer in Florida will do that to you. It always helped for me to stay off of them, and I ended up buying some flip flops in a bigger size. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/water-retention#post-66966 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 20:25:42 +0000 pastemoo 66966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm only 24 weeks and already wearing compressions socks. They do help! They're hard to put on though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/water-retention#post-66957 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 20:07:35 +0000 chopsuey 66957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have much advice either. My friend used to wear those socks too..<br /> I drank a ton of water during my pregnancy. Try not to eat salty foods? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/water-retention#post-66953 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 20:06:12 +0000 Mrsbells 66953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I knew someone who had to wear special socks because her feet were retaining too much water... but I haven't been through this myself so I dont have much advice </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/water-retention#post-66929 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 19:11:42 +0000 DpeachLu 66929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 9 weeks to go and am just learning about the joys of water retention.
