[mummyof3babas]

my hands, feet and legs are really swollen my legs are like tree trunks iv been to hosp all is fine no high bp, urines fine, also saw mw tuesday and again she said bp and urine was normal but if my headaches keep coming to go labour and delievery but im just wondering as anyone else had the swelling in there legs aswell? all my leggings dont fit anymore my legs look huge

I had this last time and then suddenly developed high bp and protein. I went from being dismissed to being induced three days later. It can happen quickly. Keep an eye on it and keep getting checked. I wish i'd made more fuss last time.

Really hope it's just the heat and extra baby bump that's causing it for you.

Looking forward to having my body back

I've been that swollen for about 2 months now. I call myself the Italian sausage because I'm so red and puffed up. DH was the one who alerted me to my leg issue. He asked when my ankles would come back. I didn't even realize they were gone, it has been so long since I've seen them.
The doctors all say I'm good though.

My legs are swollen too, and I have normal BP, trace of protein, OB is not concerned right now. In the mornings feet, ankles and legs are back down, but once I get up and start moving, it doesn't last long. When I get home from work I try and elevate my feet. My pants are tight around the legs because of the swelling

I had this problem in my last pregnancy and developed PE very quickly, this time round I've had no issues with swelling.. Are you drinking enough as this helps flush out unwanted water from the body?

 

[mummyof3babas]

this is what im worried about because iv had headaches, dizzy spells, weird vision, and then the swelling on top but only had a trace of protein on one occasion and bp has always been normal:S me did say that im meant to go in as soon as a headache comes on as thats when my bp will defo be up? is this right?

 

[Zfbaby]

Omg I'm soooo swollen. My feet and my legs up to my knees hurt loads. If my legs swell at night when bent i cant unbend them. I've been trying to elevate my legs but it doesn't do much. I think not drinking enough is my problem. I find it hard to drink. I feel your pain

 

[Sass827]

I drink water like its going out of style.

I'd be worried too. Don't mean to scare you, but if swelling is not going down during the night, and your suffering from dizzy spells, and vision issues, I would be very concerned of the on set of Pre E.

Do you have access to a BP monitor? In our pharmacies in Canada we have public ones, and also my mom had a small portable one she lent me. I check every day.
