Any tricks to stop swelling?

[mommyanddaddyd]

37 and a half :P weeks I have maternity pictures Thursday and I've unfortunately gained 4 to 5 lbs since Friday. Doctor knows didn't say much. I have pictures on Thursday and I gotta figure out how to get this swelling down or at least stay at this weight. My legs are swollen and my knees along with my face... Any tricks? Heard lots of water and propping legs up at night...

Oh okay fortunately I can't drink coffee. I actually drank a gatorade yesterday and I swear I swelled up from that even more. My sis said it has lots of sodium.

Oh Ok did you drink the ice water or bathe in it? Cold bath sounds amazing. My legs are so warm.
