For swollen legs and feet during pregnancy, here are a few things that you can do at home - 
  • Avoid standing for long periods at a stretch, take short breaks and sit to ease the strain on your legs.
 

  • 5in">Soak your feet in warm water with salt for at least 15 minutes.  This will relax your leg and feet muscles and ease discomfort.
 

  • 5in">After the soak, gently massage your legs and feet with aromatherapy oils - The combination you could use is 3 drops of lavender oil mixed with 3 drops each of Cypress and Juniper.
 
  • Keep your feet at a height while sleeping or relaxing at home, place them on a couple of soft pillows or cushions.
 
  • Incase of persistent swelling, consult and take the advice of your gynecologist.
