Swollen ankles

Okay, I am 30.5 weeks pregnant and my ankles are swollen like overstuffed chimichangas (lol, watching too much Ugly Betty maybe). So I looked up some tips on how to reduce the puffiness. Most of them made me laugh.

1. Try waist-high maternity support stockings. Put them on before you get out of bed in the morning so blood doesn't have a chance to pool around your ankles.
--Yeah, because along with the swollen ankles, stretch marks and not being able to get myself out of the tub, I want to add waist high maternity support stockings so that my sex appeal just SKYROCKETS!

2. Drink plenty of water. Surprisingly, this helps your body retain less water.
--This is also very helpful since, as a pregnant woman, I am almost NEVER running to the bathroom to pee. Yep, I can't wait to drink MORE water in the hopes that my ankles MIGHT swell a little less.

3. Take regular breaks from sitting or standing. A short walk every so often will help keep your blood circulating.
--Also an exciting option since standing up puts more pressure on my bladder. This combined with the extra water should ensure that I see the bathroom more than any other room anywhere in the world.

4. Eat well, and avoid junk food.
--Well that's just ridiculous. lol
