Retaining lots of water

Since Thursday I just woke up completely swollen...face, thighs, arms and I can't even see my ankles.

and I swear I can hear the water move when I move in bed Chat Icon

What can I do about it other than drinking more water. My ob's office is not open till tomorrow and I'm VERY uncomfortable

Thanks

Re: Retaining lots of water

if you're swelling that much I'd say call your OB's emergency line or go to a hospital. severe swelling could be a sign of something serious. good luck!

I have that issue but I have polyhydramnios so I am retaining lots of water anyway and have a large amount of amniotic fluid. Maybe mention the fluid retntion to your doc....
