hi
try putting them in warm water when you are watching a film

hi hun i sufered terible in my first pregnancy n found that if i layed on the sofa n put my feet up on the arm or proped them under pillows wen in bed so there higher than ur knees it really helped n the swelling wd go down. i did this on my last pregnancy n lukily never had the problem so will be doing it again. aparently it helps the blood flow so reduces swelling. xxx

me to im 36 weeks and my hands are so swollen,very watery and they hurt but not alot that can be done apart from what the lady said above,keep your hands and feet up,someone suggested cabbage leaves apparently soaking your feet in the juices with water in a bucket etc helps but i havnt tried that one yet.

hi im 37+5 weeks ive had swollen feet too stay off ur feet as much as possible and lie down with ur feet above ur heart as it should reduce it if u have sudden swelling in ur hands or face id speak to the midwife as it could be a sign of pre eclampsia just to be on the safe side but probably due to being on ur feet to much. x
