Its good to hear that ur baby is doing fine.Dont worry abt ur swollen ankels.Always put ur legs up when ur resting on stool.Dont keep ur legs down for long time it will collect the fluids down in ankels.Check ur bp if its ok no need to worry.keep moving and always do ankle twisting excercise while sitting it will help in proper blood circulation.take lots of fluids.I do all these things and its working.
Hope it will help u too.
take care. Jichi replied. Hi vidhi,

I had swollen ankles/legs/ during my first pregnancy...... its because your leg needs some support to your growing belly (just for balancing) dont keep your legs down....always use footstool. drink lots of fluids....also check the BP...if that is normal...dont need to worry.

take care,
