I'm at 27 weeks and I feel very swollen all over, I just noticed it like in the last couple of weeks and got very nervous. The doctor said my blood pressure is fine, but I have to watch my weight so i'm on a low carb-salt diet! So i just wanted to know if it was normal to feel and look this way knowing I still have like 3 months left.

Re: Feeling very Swollen....
It's probably normal. For me it was my fingers....I noticed around that time that I couldn't wear my engagement ring and wedding bands together anymore. If I do too much walking or standing my toes sometimes look like little sausages...lol. Make sure you keep up your water intake to help with swelling and elevate your feet.

It is notning to worry about but if you feel concerned I would ask the Dr at your next visit,, also try to keep your feet raised wehn you are laying down and drink lots of water.. and avoid any foods with high sodium content...

Re: Feeling very Swollen....
I'm only 18 weeks, and last night, for the first time, my feet and ankles swelled up to balloons!! So swollen that I couldn't really feel anything... I was really worried, but I talked to my Dr. today and she said as long as your blood pressure is normal, it's fine...
Edited to say, she also added that it's probably because it's starting to get warm outside. Lots more fun to look forward too!!

The weather has a lot to do with it. I have been feeling like a wood tick since the warmer weather has come around. My shoes and rings no longer fit. Just keep an eye on it and make sure you drink a lot of water and keep your feet up when you can. Best of luck.

Re: Feeling very Swollen....
I just got a pedicure and when I showed the woman my feet/calves she goes 'oh my god...you must go back to work and put your feet up!' My feet/ankles look like frankenstein's!! I have lost my ankles and my feet swelled too! My blood pressure is normal, so I need to drink more water and keep my feet up....I have no idea how I'll make it to August working in Manhattan and riding the LIRR everyday!!
PS. I heard eating lots of watermelon and cucumbers help.
PPS. I'm 22 weeks!!
