3rd Trimester

Anyone swell in their calves and not their feet?

My legs are so swollen especially in the calf area.  I can poke on my shin and have pitting edema.  My OB was so suprised because my ankles and feet look perfectly normal though.  I always see people with puffy feet but never puffy legs and normal feet.  Why am I always the weird one?

Re: Anyone swell in their calves and not their feet?

  • not just my calves, but yes, i swell from the knees down...

    my kids think its "cool" that my cankles resemble a stress ball when they push it in....it stays that way. and dont even get me started on my toes

  • yes! this happened to me yesterday!

    when we got home from work, DH said "OMG WHY ARE YOUR CALVES SO HUGE?!?"

    Yeah, I don't think it would be so bad if my legs were huge all the way down but it looks like I'm walking on little sticks because my calves are huge and my ankles are skinny.  My DH always makes jokes.

    Just my calves swell when I'm on my feet for a long time. My feet and ankles don't though...weird.

    before my feet swell, my calfs got really swollen. 

  • My feet/ankles rarely swell...but my calves have been huge some days!  I can literally feel the fluid in them.  Good thing it's not boot season, I'd never be able to zip up a pair.

    I agree....I try to wear long flowy dresses so my big legs don't hang out.
