Re: swollen feet
Sparrow, welcome to the fat feet club! 
I live in flip flops 24/7 too… anything else makes my feet feel like they’re being suffocated!
Some tips for you:
=> Sit with your feet and legs up whenever you can.
=> Drink plenty of water and urinate as often as possible.
=> Stretch your legs and feet whenever possible.
=> Do not stand for long lengths of time without a break.
=> Exercise (even if it’s light walking around the block) and eat a healthy diet.
=> Foot massages courtesy of Mr Sparrow 
Re: swollen feet
^ Lol Maroush i loved your reply and thanks for the great tips. I never thought the feet thing would happen to me...but it has. I'm gonna go and get a large glass or water now.....i feel soo tired....pregnancy isn't easy.
When i told my mum about my feet she said that it never happened to her and that there was something wrong with me and that it doesn't happen to healthy pregnant people.
Re: swollen feet
Aww i know what you men sweetie; during my first two, my feet survived the pregnancies totally unscathed, but this time round :no:
This swelling (technically known as Oedema) during pregnancy has nothing to do with being healthy or not, and DOES NOT mean you’re having an “abnormal” pregnancy. During pregnancy, it is normal for women to collect more water in their bodies than they would normally , so a certain amount of swelling in the body (such as legs, feet, maybe even arms and hands) is normal so please do not be alarmed if you experience this. Also, swelling can be noticeably worse in the third trimester (which you’re entering) and during hot weather periods.
However, in addition to the aforementioned, there are some signs of swelling that you should seek medical advice for. Contact your medical team (GP, midwife OBGYN etc) for advice/assistance if you notice any of the following:
=> Extreme swelling in your face or around your eyes
=> Excessive swelling of your hands (more than just a tightness of your rings)
=> Excessive and/or sudden swelling of your legs and feet (comes on within hours)
=>Swelling more in one leg than the other (noticable difference between the 2)
=> Pain in your extremities, particularly calves or thighs
Hope everything is going well for you so far! Good luck with the final months!
Re: swollen feet
I had extreme swelling in my feet which started gradually from my 3rd or 4th month and by the end of the pregnancy, it had gotten pretty bad where my feet looked like those of an elephants. I tried everything that i could to reduce but it didnt go away until like 10 days post partum.
You may want to try this list even though it didnt work for me.
*drink a lot of water to reduce water retention
*keep your feet up as much as you can
*dip your feet in cold water
*dip your feet in warm water
I noticed mine got worse when i ate salty foods like achaar or hotdogs etc so i learnt to avoid those. Unless its pre-eclampsia related, inshaAllah you have not hing to worry about.
