...I don't know what!! My feet and ankles are swollen beyond ridiculous! My blood pressure is o.k. and the dr. says it is just a symptom of the last few weeks (12 days until the due date!), but DAMN!!! I have about had it! Nothing seems to help the swelling either. Thank God this is my last week in the office. But I have sooo much to do at home to get ready. I am just a giant Big Foot pregnant lady! I don't know whether to laugh or cry!! I am so ready to have this baby!

I had that too-same thing, no high blood pressure just lots of swelling. I learned the term 'cankles' from someone at that time. I really really feel fo you b/c it's so uncomfortable. I'm glad it's your last week too, it's very hard to work up till the end. Hang in there.

Re: Holy Cow! My feet have turned into...
Thank you guys for making me laugh!! I can just picture the National Enquirer article...and 'cankles' made me think of a new one for myself -- 'tankles'. Some guy at work asked me today if my feet normally hang over my shoes...um YEAH! Because that is soooo attractive! I have to laugh because otherwise I may strangle someone! And have I mentioned my sausage link fingers? I'm looking at those pg pics on the other post and thinking - maybe some pics of my extremities would make a nice opening to the baby book! HAAAAAAHAAAA! If I don't laugh, I may cry!! Thanks girls for cheering me up!

Aw! Been there, done that! Just wait...it gets worse after delivery! But it goes away a few days later. While I was in the hospital my feet and ankles swelled SO bad I started hysterically crying because I thought they might explode or something!! I couldn't even walk on them. After a few days, your body gets rid of all that extra fluid by peeing and sweating a lot. Lovely. Hee hee.
