hold in fluids

Hi! I'm 37 weeks pregnant now and I'm starting to hold onto fluid in my feet and face.
I don't mind my feet so much, but my face is really bothering me. Can you do anything to reduce this?

    Hi Tatjana,

    I've got really high fluid retention too with this hot weather. Drinking water, eating cucumber and celery, and drinking nettle tea are things you can do... but it doesn't go away, it just gets slightly less at best.

    Good luck with the final touches, girl!

    Just keep going and see it through, indeed.

    Make sure your blood keeps flowing, so move enough, take a walk now and then.

    Almost there, girl!

    Moving around, drinking, not looking in the mirror too much, and singing: 'We're almost there, we're almost there...'
    I recognize it, I know how you feel, and I'm only 29 weeks! Hang in there!
    :-)
