Seriously? Water retention ALREADY?

Is anyone else having quite a bit of water retention already?! I just noticed that there is almost a FAT ROLL looking thing above my foot. I officially have cankles

I drink like a fish all freaking day so this doesn't happen. It's only bad for me first thing in the morning.  I wake up and my entire body is a pillow crease.

My feet started sweeling at about 18w.  It would come and go then, but lately, it's more of a consistant thing.  It's SO annoying...especially when I goes days where I can't prop them up in the evening.  I am almost solely in flip flops (not that I really mind that).  I DO miss some of my heels, though.

Edit: I drink quite a bit of water every day and try to limit my sodium, but it still happens.  My doctor says it's normal.  Some women just get it worse than others...lucky me!

My foot is so swollen, but my doc said it's blood draining, not water retention.

I can't wear my wedding ring anymore, and the last time I saw my mother she said "oh my, someone's retaining water!". So I guess I look puffier than I feel.

between the heat here (100+ degrees) and the retention I have what I call knankles...right from my knees to my feet!  I drink about 80-100oz water a day, but still have the swelling!

I have been fighting swollen ankles/feet and hands for a few weeks now.  My doc just said to drink lots of water and get in my pool as much as possible.  The water pressure will force some of that fluid out of your tissue and back into your vascular system.
