Pork Knuckles?

I have been suffering from sore and swollen feet since week 37 of pregnancy. 

Some people say when one is pregnant, the body tends to retain more water. 

According to babycenter.com, it may also be "due to the growing uterus puts pressure on your pelvic veins and your vena cava (the large vein on the right side of the body that carries blood from your lower limbs back to the heart). The pressure slows the return of blood from your legs, causing it to pool, which forces fluid from your veins into the tissues of your feet and ankles."

So I end up with feet that looks like pork knuckles...


My Pork Knuckles...

The only remedy that I have now is hubby's nightly massage...painful, but syiok!
