All my ankles turn to cankles (pic)
**To be sung to the tune of "All my exes live in Texas..."
All my ankles turn to cankles...
I wrote this new country song in honor of my new cankles! Just started swelling at 39 weeks. Guess I'm lucky to have made it this far. The cankle pic is from last night, and the ankle pic is from this morning (thankfully!) I'm staying off my feet today!
How are you all doing with swelling?

Yep, I'm 39 weeks, and this just started happening to me about 2 days ago.

My right foot was way worse than my left. I iced it 10 min on, 10 min off, 3 times then kept it elevated. Had the hubs rub it a little, rubbing up toward my knee. All that helped bring the swelling down a bit, but this was after like 3 hours of nursing it last night. Uggh.
So far today, only a little more swollen than my morning picture - barely noticeable. I'm going to take a walk this evening and see how bad it gets just from that. I don't want to have to stay off my feet!
