One puffy ankle?

Anyone else get just one swollen ankle? My hands and other ankle swell just a little bit, but my right ankle really swells by the end of the day. I was just wondering, why only the right ankle? Something to do with the baby positions?

  • That happened to me around week 28. My doctor said it was due to one of the babies' positioning.

  • I haven't been too worried about it, until I read on Dr. Google (I know, I know) that it could be a sign of a blood clot! I told my doctor about it at my last appointment and she said I don't have anything to worry about because my bp and urine are fine.

  • My left ankle and foot swell much more than the right. I haven't asked my OB, but I assume it is because I broke that foot years ago. My swelling really isn't bad, but it does get a bit puffy on that side. It is strange though, as both babies really like to chill out over there. I hadn't considered that positioning could be a factor!
