Not only will this fix swollen feet during pregnancy &ndash; it will reduce puffiness in your hands and legs, too. Bonus: You&rsquo;ll love it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few weeks ago when I hit 7 months for this pregnancy, my hands swelled to the point where I had to remove my wedding ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&rsquo;m no stranger to the <strong>magical<\/strong> symptom of swollen feet and hands during pregnancy. During my last pregnancy, at the end of a day at my desk job, I looked like the Wikipedia entry for Elephantitis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I tried <em>everything<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Avoid standing. (But remember: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2015\/01\/21\/health\/sitting-will-kill-you\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sitting too much<\/a> can kill you.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drink more water. (And have fun peeing every 15 minutes.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Put your feet up, above your hips. (But don&rsquo;t lay on your back.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Exercise regularly. (Good luck fitting your gargantuan feet into tennis shoes.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>None<\/strong> of it helped. My swollen hands and fingers made it impossible to type or even hold my phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every night, I sank onto the couch and put my swollen feet on an ottoman topped with three pillows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And I&rsquo;d stare at my feet. My poor, puffy feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wanted to cry and yell and disown my feet, all at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So when my puffiness started a few weeks ago for this pregnancy, I talked to my doctor, <strong>desperate<\/strong> for new advice to reduce swelling during pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_5f7f7c-3a .kb-table-of-content-wrap{padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_5f7f7c-3a .kb-table-of-contents-title-wrap{padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_5f7f7c-3a .kb-table-of-contents-title{font-weight:regular;font-style:normal;text-transform:uppercase;}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_5f7f7c-3a .kb-table-of-content-wrap .kb-table-of-content-list{font-weight:regular;font-style:normal;margin-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;}<\/style>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-simple-fix-for-swollen-feet-and-hands-and-everything-during-pregnancy\">A Simple Fix for Swollen Feet and Hands (and Everything) During Pregnancy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the doctors in my practice is pregnant and just a couple weeks ahead of me, so she GETS IT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lucky for me<\/strong>, I had an appointment with her the same week I removed my wedding ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&ldquo;It seems like the swelling has started earlier for me this time,&rdquo; I said, my legs dangling off the exam table and collecting even more fluid as I spoke. &ldquo;I sit with my feet up as much as possible and drink a ton of water, but it doesn&rsquo;t really help.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She smiled. &ldquo;Well, there&rsquo;s one more thing you can try that helps a lot, but it&rsquo;s not for everyone.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I sat up straighter, crinkling the paper on the table. &ldquo;What?&rdquo; I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>&ldquo;Massage will definitely help improve circulation and reduce swelling from edema,&rdquo; she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&ldquo;Like a prenatal massage?&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&ldquo;Sure, if you can afford it.
