5 STAR TREATMENTS
How often do you get into bed and immediately rub your feet on the legs of your partner to try to get them warm?
There is good reason for this. Many people don’t realise the circulatory system of a female is different to that of a male. Women’s circulation is centred around the female reproductive organs, thereby leaving the extremities, such as the hands and feet, feeling colder as the blood supply in these areas is reduced. This is also the reason that women complain that their partners feet are perfect whilst theirs are not.
Ankles, feet and fingers often swell a little in pregnancy as your body is holding more water than usual.
Towards the end of the day, the extra water tends to gather in the lowest parts of the body, especially if the weather is hot or if you have been standing a lot. The gradual swelling isn't harmful to you or your baby, but it can be uncomfortable.

Soak Your Feet
Remember that tired and neglected feet need some TLC, too - especially once sandal weather is upon us. Before painting on a bright, beach-ready coral shade on your toes, give your feet a good soak and help get rid of dead skin, cracked heels and unsightly rough patches.
A peppermint soak is an easy-to-achieve DIY treat: combine Epsom salts and a few drops of peppermint essential oil to calm and revitalise achy feet.

Wash your feet often
Don’t go to bed without washing your feet. If you leave dirt on the skin’s surface, it can become irritated and infected. Wash your feet every evening with soap and water.
Dry your feet well
Dry your feet thoroughly after washing them, especially between the toes which is where germs such as Athlete's foot can easily breed. Then, apply a moisturising foot cream (not body lotion).
Change your socks often to avoid foot odour
Change your socks daily. Read advice from the Institute of Chiropodists and Podiatrists on buying socks.
Shoe shop in the afternoon
Shop for shoes in the afternoon. Feet swell as the day goes on and if shoes fit in the afternoon when your feet are at their largest, you can be assured they will always be comfortable.
Footwear tips for work
If you have to wear heels at work, wear comfortable shoes to and from the office and only wear your smart shoes once you're in the office. Also, try to vary the heel height, between low, medium and high. Read how to choose the right footwear for work.
Take care with flip flops
But don't wear flip-flops all the time. They don't provide support for your feet and can give you arch and heel pain if you wear them too much.
Watch out for foot bugs in communal changing areas
Wear flip-flops to avoid catching athlete’s foot and verrucas when you use public areas such as gym showers, swimming pools or hotel bathrooms.
Cut toenails carefully
Always trim your toenails straight across, never at an angle or down the edges. This can cause ingrown toenails.
Remove hard skin regularly
Gently remove hard skin and calluses with a pumice stone or foot file regularly.
Limit time wearing high heels
Be shoe savvy. Wear high heels and pointed shoes for special occasions only, and always wear the right shoes for the job (so no sandals for mountain climbing). Read this survival guide to high heels.
