Is this any cause for concern

[Gems89]

Since yesterday morning I have one swollen and very painful ankle, it didn't happen during walking or anything?

I didnt think anything of it and put it down to the extra weight but someone has said its bad if its only one foot and/or swollen, think it may just be scaremongering?

You should call the doctor just in case. DVT causes swelling in one side along with pain. If you didn't have pain, I would say not to bother, but because you have pain, you don't want to take any chances. (That's assuming you really didn't do anything to hurt your ankle, like sprained it or whatever, and that it's just a random thing that suddenly came on).

I have swelling in one ankle myself, but no pain or redness. I told the midwife and she thinks it's from the baby laying more on one side than the other, so it's pinching off the artery or something, and no big deal. So, it could be nothing, but definitely call anyway.
