Have any of you ladies got any hints or
tips for helping to relieve hot, swollen
feet in the 3rd trimester - elivating them
is not helping and the feel like they are
going to burst. Lol!!!

Always works for my hubby. Let me ask you
this tho...
In your first trimester can u tell me if u
had the same symptoms?
-wet burps that taste nasty ( I dunno what
its called)
-sensitive nipples that gradually get more
super sensitive as the days go past
- gassy, slighly unusually tired
- urinating 1-3hrs... I would tell u
more but I doubt u want to hear all that
since these questions are the majority of
the posts anyway, but I think its b/c
everyone wants to know for themselves.

Yeah they sound about right but it could
also be alot of other things other than
being pg so if you think you could be pg
then just take a test it is much easier
than trying to guess. The dr can also do
a blood test which will show a positive
result faster than a home preg test which
usually has to be taken when you are
either due for your period or late.
Good luck.
I off to try and bribe my hubby :-) these
feet are driving me nuts!!!!

Black and blue? Gross. But ne ways I
cant sometimes convince my hubby to rub my
feet but rarely does he make an effort and
make them feel ne bette so I just go get a
spa pedicure and when the person doing it
(if they area woman) sees how big u are
they tend to give u a longer massage plus
then your lil piggies (thats what I call
my swollen toes) look pretty

Pressure Points

Be careful when receiving a pedicure
during your pregnancy. There is a
pressure point on the side of your
leg...Right above your inner and outer
ankle that can induce labor!!
Also...There is another pressure point
between your thumb and 1st finger that
will also set off pre term labor if
massaged!!
If you're not showing when you receive
your pedicure you need to tell them that
you're preggy so they know to avoid the
pressure point in your leg. I worked at
"the aveda institute" as an estitician and
saw many women actually have to leave
becase the mani/pedicurist rubbed their
pressure point and they began to
contract!
Your ob/gyn might suggest rubbing these
points if you are past due...Just make
sure your hubby or pedicurist does not!!
Good .Luck yall!!

I am definately going to remember these
pressure points! If she's not on her way
out in 2 weeks, i'll have to give myself a
nice ankle massage (if I can reach them
that is)

Lol...I hear that....It's actually right
above your ankles...Almost 2 - 3 inches
above...Be sure you massage the inner and
outer pressure points!! Along with taking
care of the skin they taught us all of the
pressure points and muscles of the
body...Talk about a lot to learn!!! Not
only those but the bones. We had to learn
scientific terms and lamens terms for
everything that had to do with the human
body!! Grrrr....I'm sooo glad i'm outta
there and have my state liscence!!!!!!

Lol...Just tell them...They should know
which ones they are....If they can see
that you're preggy...They'll automatically
disreguard rubbing them...
But if you say "hey...Rub the pressure
point above my inner and outer ankle to
induce my labor" they should
know.....Unless they were schooled before
this was known....
Let me look in my books to see what I can
find and i'll scan them if I do...

i just wanted to say that if your feet are
swelling during the 1/2nd trimester and
turing colors you need to contact your
doctor it's a sign of pre-ecleamsia.
Mine like toni did too but it was in my
2nd trimester 20 week they started to
swell and turn colors....And about 4 weeks
later they had to take my baby to make my
blood preasure and seizers go away. If
your feet get abnormally swollen in the
2nd trimester....Talk to your dr about it.
