getting a foot massage

Tweet

hi all! i know that most of you know that i am expecting a baby soon. i am 5 and 1/2 months pregnant now. most women already have swelling feet at this time, but thankfully, i don't. maybe because i didn't gain too much weight. anyway, one of my concerns is varicose veins. i know that some women have varicose veins even though they have not been pregnant yet, but i haven't. i think it is the genes, more than the pregnancy. but still i am concerned. so i think that one of the best remedies to have regular foot massages while being pregnant so that the circulation of the feet and legs will be smooth and healthy. i think this will aid in the proper blood flow and thus eradicate the threat of getting varicose veins. others say that at night, one should elevate one's feet for a while. i think it is good too but i find it difficult. besides, a massage feels awfully good! hehehe what are your thoughts on this? please share, especially if you have been pregnant. take care all and God bless you! merry christmas!:-)
