Yes, where there's a baby involved might not want to take any water pills!.
What Dr!. Atkins recommends for this is a good hit of taurine!. Taurine is an amino acid which you make in your body, but perhaps with pregnancy it's all getting used up by the baby!. Supplements are cheap!.
I'd say - off the top of my head - to start out with 2000 mgs in the evening with a magnesium pill!. NOW Foods makes a good magnesium pill with calcium, zinc and vitamin D!. Also makes the taurine pills!.
Taurine is just food - can't hurt you!. And the combination of taurine and magnesium helps a lot of people with a lot of circulatory problems - also very good for the heart!. I take it everyday!.
Where you can read about this is one of the most interesting books I've ever seen on natural medicinal substances - Dr!. Atkins - "Vita-Nutrient Solution" - get it used off of Amazon - you can often get it for about nothing if you buy it used!.
Also elevate the feet - keep them cool if possible!. And have some helpful soul rub them - always up toward your heart - never down toward your feet!.
And good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
