They really do suck. Especially Mississippi July pregnant feet. Who knew my feet could look like stuffed sausages? x(

4. Best advice all day! The ankles are slowly starting to hide. Damn them.

I had the same problem with Little MB. I had a friend who would ice my feet at work and massage them for me during his break :loveya: Put them up and relax. You deserve it :hug:

My husband massages them for me. I wish it could last forever. Foot massages are the best. It certainly doesn't that it is about 100 degrees today. Gotta love that heat.

12. No fun indeed! I do have to say Mississippi sucks
in the summer. :P Who told me to get knocked up when I did? Didn't they consider the summer heat?

20. I carefully planned out my pregnancy so I wouldn't be at my hugest
...during the summer. ;) But then, I was lucky and got knocked up the minute I started trying. I know most people aren't that lucky.

23. Yeah it took us 5 years.
2 miscarriages and 2 ectopics and a surgery later, I have finally had a successful pregnancy. So really I complain only jokingly and really am thankful.

10. My legs looked like giant redwoods. Oh honey, I feel your pain 36 years later!
I was pregnant with Will in Washington DC. Had a real problem with water retention and they were worried about me. Had to cut out all salt...everything. I worked up to 2 weeks before he was born and when I got home, I couldn't see that I had ankles at all. Put your feet up sweetie and watch the salt. It will all be over...soon and then the sleepless nights will begin. :hug: PS. The sleepless nights last until they are over 18 and out of the house! :-)

19. Well, yeah but you'll be rid of the swollen ankles! Seriously, watch
the water retention because it can be dangerous to you and the baby. I assume you're getting a BP and weight check every few weeks. If not, you should.

BP was 111/70 so that is good. I've gained 19 lbs. x( Which is good, but I was hoping to only gain 20 the whole pregnancy. Probably going to be more like 25-30! But I know the BP can change quickly. I go back next week.

25. Somebody who's been pregnant in SC in July.
Feet and ankles totally indistinguishable...when I could see them at all.
