Is everyone's getting swollen feet?

i*heart*him · August 2009

I don't have them yet, but it seems like everyone has them. Is it something that will definately happen to all?

AliciaSpring · August 2009

Nope just my hands.

EMTX · August 2009

Doesn't happen to everyone.

I've had it a few times, though, it's really weird. My feet suddenly looked like I had no bones - no tendons, veins, etc. Even my ankles were puffy. Gross!

I think it's the heat for me. It's been over 100 for 2 months straight here.

Boy did I word that wrong. Is everyone getting swollen feet I meant.

JuliaKL · August 2009

nope. i work on my feet all day so at the end of the day, they are a tiny bit worse, but honestly, i have been lucky. it is NOT a given.

You are so tiny in your pic!!! I am jealous, all the weight has gone to my legs!

Mine are but it didn't start until about 36 weeks. It doesn't help that it is sooooooooo freakin' hot!!

Mine have been very swollen this pg, but I didn't have any swelling problems with my first pg... everyone and every pg is different. I will say that I DID swell after giving birth the first time (only swelled for a day or two, though).?

My feet didn't really swell up until Week 33 or 34. I'm learning the hard way that some symptoms may not appear until much later (stretch marks didn't come until Week 30) so I've given up thinking this pregnancy is turning out alright!

mine just started getting puffy this week, not as bad as some i've seen but I make sure I drink a lot of water and prop them up if I've been on them a lot...GL

Dncr251 · August 2009

I haven't been able to wear anything bu flip flops for a couple of weeks! I'm drinking over 3 liters of water a day too, which is supposed to help, but nothing

Dh says that he swears they're not my feet anymore, lol.

annedemps · August 2009

Only one of my legs swells and it is hip to toes that swells up. It didn't start until like 35 weeks though.

Swollen is not the word for what my feet are doing, they have taken on a new zip code!

lovesazzie · August 2009

It doesn't happen to all. Mine are horribly swollen, but no one else in my birthing class has swollen feet. I feel so embarrassed showing up with my loaves of bread when everyone else has pretty skinny feet and ankles still!

angie05161 · August 2009

I've just started to get a little puffy, but not too bad. My dr commented on it at my last appt though unprovoked. He said to take it easy more and drink lots of fluids. I'm swollen now b/c I just spent 2 hrs on my feet in the 85 degree heat.

smilelari · August 2009

I didn't have this issue until this weekend.

Now my shoes don't fit

Sia29 · August 2009

Nope - my feet haven't swelled at all...my hands swell a little (not bad enough to have to take off my rings, though). But I drink a ridiculous amount of water everyday, which is helping me a lot.

LizBusch · August 2009

not me.

coconutbug · August 2009

Mine grew a full size and are puffy.

jwpbride · August 2009

Mine just started this week, and it's only my left foot. And not so much my feet as it is my toes (I can feel them touching each other- BLEGH!). Also, as bizzare as this is, it always starts with my "ring finger" toe and then spreads over to the others. It's usually only at the end of the day when I've been on my feet too long.

triplenine · August 2009

I got them yesterday BAD because i was painting trim with my mom outside for like 3 hours. I went to bed with them elevated, and they went down. Oh and the two hotdogs i ate at the SI yankee game last night didnt' help!
