Does your legs get swollen during pregnancy?

I work in retail and I have to stand 10 hours a day. I'm in my 23rd week now and my ankles are really swollen 😢 Is this common? Any tips to reduce the swelling and any remedies?

Water retention is due to lack of fluids so try to drink more and elevate your legs when you go to sleep. Don't wait until you're thirsty to drink that means you are already hydrated. Important to drink more when you're pregnant. But if the swell is very sudden, do seek your gynae's advice cos it might be preeclampsia.
