knee pain/swelling?
grrrrrrrr this absolutely sucks. I have not complained my whole 35 weeks of pregnancy but this is painful and I want to complain now. Dr said there's nothing I can do but has anyone found a roundabout way to alleviate the pain/swelling?
I sleep with a pillow under my feet to elevate and it feels great in the morning but as the day goes on it gets bad (i sit at a desk all day but do try to get up an walk as much as i can).

Re: knee pain/swelling?
I'm in the same boat -- my feet/ankles/legs/knees are so swollen I had to buy double-wide mules b/c I grew out of all my shoes.
I've been tested for pre-eclemsia b/c of the swelling + high BP + significant weight gain (water rention) - but I'm on the cusp.
Nothing to do besides literally sit all day long with elevated legs...it STINKS.

Lots and lots of water. If you can, try to keep your feet elevated during the day too. I used to keep a file box under my desk to keep my feet up a little and would sit with my feet up on my desk when seeing clients ( I know, real professional, lol).
Also, try an epsom salt bath. That helped me a lot with my swelling and made my legs feel much better.
