Does anyone ever feel this way???

Im always nervous that im developing pre-eclampsia. I just think that part of my is a hypocondriac and part of me just has this intuition about it.

The reason i feel like that is because i started swelling so early on (around 14 weeks) and have been swollen ever since. It does get better when im resting and not sitting or on them for a long time. The doctor doesnt seem too concerned at all and my BP has been fine (a few times a little elevated but thats it - no protein either). I wake up and automatically check my limbs and my face for swelling. Im crazy I know. My hands are a little tight when i wake up, but they do seem to go down a little bit during the day.

For some reason this is just a feeling i cant seem to shake. I actually have my appointment tonight. Im hoping for everything to go well. Does anyone ever obsess about something like this??? I feel like im the only one.

I can't say I overly obsess about it - but I definitely have swelling issues. My feet swell up and I feel like I am walking on springs. My fingers look like sausages some days...

good luck at the dr.

let us know how it goes.

Re: Does anyone ever feel this way???

My friend had it so I am definatley paranoid about getting it. But, I just look for the signs and stay aware. That's basically all you can do.

Please don't worry yourself too much and obsess over it because that will only make it worse

Good Luck!
