Do you mean edema? Edema is swelling and water retention. I have had it very bad since I was about 6 months pregnant in my feet and ankles, it is very painful. You need to elevate your feet, lying on left side helps kidneys filter things better and drink TONS of water. ALso, mention this to your doctor because it can be a symptom of preeclampsia or toxemia.
