    Feet up! I only had the swollen ankles after I had Jonny. Was really weird, like they weren't my legs.

    its a nightmare i had elephant legs really bad with Gabriel 'cos it was sooo hot, not as bad with Alisha, and with Kayleigh it was only late on, and in the evening, as terrie and lynnie said get those feet up.

    Rest with your feet up as much as poss, drink lots of water as this helps keep the circulation up. but to be honest not much you can do.
