Swelling
At 37 weeks my newest symptom is swelling. My rings are getting tighter and my ankles and calfs are swelling. Shoes are getting tighter on my feet. Is there anything I can do? I have been drinking a ton of water. I have 11 days until my c-section. Any suggestions?

Re: Swelling
Ive had the swelling as well and if you can ellivate your feet whe you are in bed or on the couch. They WILL swell up again but at least you can try and elliviate some of the discomfort for a moment. I took my rings off at 35 weeks - which was a good decision.
Also, try and cut down on salty foods that mak eyou maintain even more water - it really can help. I started to notice that after dinners that were salty I would swell in my ankles and legs.
Good luck and try and rest - if you can.
