I am 12 weeks pregnant and hurt my ankle, is it okto wear an tight ankle ssupport? i don't suffer with swollen ankles yet.

Yes: Yes, just be sure they do not restrict blood flow to your toes. If your feet or toes turn blue or purple, then it is too tight. Other than that, there should be very little chance of problems with wearing ankle supports.
