Swelling

Ive had slight swelling in my feet/ankles since I was about 24w along. I am 30w now and the tops of my feet are SO swollen,.. anyone else experience this?

Re: Swelling

yes, I am holding alot of water in my feet and hands- my OB just checked me the other day and everything else was fine- she said it just might be how my body handles pregnancy.
hope it gets better for you!

as long as youre not having headaches, vision changes, high blood pressure and dont have protein in your urine its probably normal. mine swelled up and it felt like i was walking in jelly and i was dx with pre-eclampsia the next day but i had a TON of protein in my urine.

My ankles and feet are swollen for a few weeks now. My hands are not too bad. I tested positive for protein my last visit but, I have low BP and I have a UTI.. what fun! As if I am not drinking enough and going to the bathroom enough. Also drinking cranberry juice now. No antibiodics yet. They want to see what my urine culture says tomorrow from the lab.

Just keep drinking tons of water... and keep your feet up whenever you can.

Drink lots of water and stay off your feet if you can, I would let your Dr know this so he/she can check your BP!
