Swelling feet

I feel like my feet keep getting larger and larger. They started getting huge last week. I have been keeping them elevated, putting ice packs on them, rubbing them, etc. I can't get the swelling down. I wouldn't care so much, but i am a lawyer and have to wear dress shoes. I am squeezing into my biggest pair, and i have another two months to go. Any suggestions on how to calm the giant feet? Or, is this something I just have to deal with.

For advice: keep your feet elevated as much as possible when sitting. Mid pregnancy I had normal feet in the morning and water balloons at night. But by the 8th month the water balloons were there to stay.

It is just one if those fun pregnancy symptoms you get to deal with.
But as PP mentioned...if swelling moves to hands and face you may want to have OB look to rule out preecclampsia.
Good luck!

i did regular massage that did help some, drank a ton of water and elevated my feet in the lazboy whenever i could.
eventually i got the ok from my ob to work from home. my manager was fine with that and so i was able to sit in the lazboy all day long.

I just found out though that due to the GD, my doc is going to induce me at 39 weeks unless I go into labor before that. So a little less than 7 weeks to go
I kind of hope my Dr. Wants him to come early, too.
