Any Tips To Prevent or Reduce Swelling?? :)

[bass]

I have recently read multiple sources that state swelling is not related to sodium intake, yay!! But I wondered if there are any tips to help prevent or at least reduce swelling in the third trimester? Thank you!!
(Besides the obvious leg elevation)

I have found drinking lots of water helps.

Water helps me too. I've heard you can also get special hose, but who wants to do that when it's hot???

Drink plenty of water!!...but keep in mind if the swelling is at all associated with leg cramps,redness, etc to see a doctor asap in case of DVT (not tryin to scare you just a concern with me)

The swelling sucks doesnt it?

my hands are like shovels with big fat sausage fingers & I have the most horrible cankles but weirdly my right foot/ankle always swells to double the size of my left one

I always drink plenty but it hasnt made any difference for me so i'll be keeping an eye on what people suggest xx

I'm definitely more thirsty during pregnancy, but still have horrid swelling. I have found anything that helps yet ...
