Cut back on the salt, if you haven't already. Sit with you legs straight out and elevated, like on a couch with a pillow under your calves. There a several support sock/stocking products available. Futuro and T.E.D are just a few. When you are pregnant, your blood volume increases, there is extra weight and pressure on your legs and the blood vessels of you legs. It is not unusual for pregnant women to experience swelling to the feet and lower legs. Call your OB and talk to him if you are really concerned.

get a second or third doctor's opinion.. or better yet to be more specific go to a PEDIATRIST thats a foot doctor and have him check ur feet.. he specializes in foot treatment and so u shuld see a foot specialist..
