Cankle

inluv4life2

Week 36 and I officially have a cankle. Yep, just one. The left ankle has merged with the calf. Right ankle is hanging on for now.

I do have foonkles on both feet. Gross.



ETA - this is not an image of my actual body.

Yep that's how my feet look and my toes look like little sausage links!

Anyone else rocking cankle(s)?

You should be swollen evenly in both legs. When one is swollen and the other is not, it could be a blood clot. Please call your doc ASAP!!!!!

Sorry, don't mean to freak you out, but it could be an issue!!!

I was just thinking that a single cankle can't be healthy...I second calling doc.

@inluv4life2, you here?

@cbear47 I've had multiple ankle surgeries on the right ankle and left leg does most of the work around here. No reason to worry. Thanks tho!

Whew! I was worried you had passed out!!! Seriously! (Sorry if I overreacted!) #:-S

My left is more swollen than right as well and have also had ankle problems.  Cankles are always a fun time!

I just now started swelling. I was the stay puft marshmallow mom with DD. This time I've been eating asparagus like crazy and it's worked until now. But it has been in the high 80s and my body is saying "ENOUGH!"

mine are terrible! both sides, ankles & feet completely swollen. it's so bad my uggs are the only shoes i can wear. 

I've spoken to my doctors about it and since my BP is perfect they aren't too worried, just keep telling me to elevate them as much as i can. 

Same here, it freaked me out how swollen they were the other day, I called they basically said the same thing. Saw the doctor today and BP is good so, she said its just "par for the course". Lovely.

My cankles are so big and round that my husband said it looks like my feet are wearing a pair of beats by dre' headphones!

I did not experience this with DD#1 at all. I wore my blue crocs to work today... In the professional office! I feel your pain ladies!!

I took a picture of my foonkle at work today! "Foonkles", lol (excuse the gross break-room floor. Also: excuse my gross foonkle.)

I have had cankles off and on for the last month.  Some days I wake up looking like I have elephant feet and then a few days later they are back to normal!  I feel your pain!
