Swelling

I have been noticing that I am getting more and more uncomfortable with my feet up. I am wondering when people started to swell. I have noticed small changes in my ankles, wrists and elbows. My next OB appointment is 1/5.

When did it start for you?
What did you do to releive this?

I workout about 4 times a week. Of course with the Holidays, my diet is less than stellar, but it gets better after the Holidays and I throw out the cookies.

Thanks ladies,
Jenn

 

I think that i started to swell occasionally around my ankles around 24 or 25w or so.. Ever since then i have noticed that swelling.. It was in my feet and it is agravated if i am sitting down for long periods of time, like car rides, ect..Some days are worst then others.

When mine swell i try to just take it easy and put my feet up.

 

I noticed it once or twice around 22w (when we were on vacation and I was doing more walking than usual), and then not again until 34w.

 

I started noticing it around 18 wks. Now it's bad; where my feet look like little puffy pillows. If your sitting down, try to keep your feet elevated, even if it's only a little bit. Drink plenty of water, and try to find time to lay down on your left side for a little while if you start noticing your feet swelling.

 

A bit around the 25 wk mark, but now it's pretty bad every day. If I walk too much, I swell. If I sit too much, I swell. Even with my feet up, I swell! :lol:

It's inevitable. Drink tons of water and try to keep those feet up is about all you can do! Oh and buy bigger shoes!

 

I just really noticed the swelling about a week or two ago (28-29 weeks.) It is really bad in my left leg along with lots of lovely spider veins and some superficial blood clots. I do not have any of the above in my right leg. My swelling is bad after I'm up on my feet running errands all day.
