I'm a first time mom but I don't have great circulation in my legs and my doc recommended using magnesium oil you can make up like a foot soak or just rub it on(when you go to buy it, it will specify if its for water or just direct skin contact) but it works wonders for me, I'm no where near as far along but you could call and ask just to be sure from your doctor( I don't know any of your medical stuff* definitely not a doctor) but if they okay it for you I hope it does wonders for you like me! the only other thing they've told me is the obvious- elevation of whatever is swollen, good luck Momma!:) wish you the best
