    Hi Felicia, I feel you. I had elephant sized feet and ankles when pregnant. I found these tips I hope will help. -Avoid standing for long periods. -Prop up your feet when sitting and avoid crossing your legs. -Stretch often when sitting for long periods. -Lie on your left side when sleeping. -Put maternity support stockings (that go to your waist) on before getting out of bed in the morning -Drink plenty of water. (This may sound odd, but if your body feels it is dehydrated, it will try to retain even more fluid.) -Exercise regularly. -Try to stay cool in our humid or hot weather.
