so i know swelling can be a normal thing in pregnancy. my BP has been normal, a little higher than i normally am but still 133/85 is considerd normal. the past few days my ankles and feet have swollen so bad, its now pitting edema ( where i can press my finger in and leave an indent for a while) well now the swelling isnt just in my ankles and feet but also my calves, my knees,and now in my upper thighs. i still have normal BP as i check it regularly at home. but i have tried everything to make the swelling go down, elevated above my heart, massage, cold soaks, warm soaks, compression stockings, epsom salt soaks, also i dont eat anything with salt now either, and drink tonS of water, nothing works and the swelling gets worse. i dont see the doctors until friday. even after sleeping i wake up and there is no reduction in swelling. anyone else have this issue??
