I'm almost 22 weeks and last night I noticed my ankles and feet were slightly swollen, I thought this wasn't supposed to happen till later in the pregnancy?! I work from 8-4 at a desk, what can I do to prevent this from getting worse?!

Try and keep your feet elevated! I noticed whenever I got hotter, i swell easier too. Watch your salt intake too.

@vjsoto, do you know if it'll help to soak my feet in cold or hot water when I get home?

Cold to moderately warm should help! If they're sore then try soaking them in Epsom salt also, that helps with the aches

get a box or something to prop your feet up on when you're sitting at your desk. and try to get up and walk around for 5 or so minutes every hour. it'll help get the blood flowing well through your legs

Yeah that's way too early - make sure to drink lots of water and let your doc know if it continues
