Beta, ask your husband to massage your soles with warm sesame or mustard oil before sleeping. And avoid standing for too long in the kitchen.

No need to buy fancy foot massagers. Just keep a small stool under your table to rest your feet, and don't let them hang while sitting.

I panicked when my feet started aching, thinking my blood pressure was high! But my doctor told me it's completely normal due to the extra weight. Just rest them often.
