3rd Trimester

if you swelled when did it happen?

I know I did with dd #1, I just can't remember when, the only thing I remember was 6 weeks before her due date I was in a wedding and I was ridiculously swollen that day but I swear it had been happening for a while before then. This time I have nothing and am due in 8 weeks so I am hoping it just won't happen, or at least not as bad as I remember with dd

Re: if you swelled when did it happen?

  • About 35 or 36 weeks for me.

  • My face - 35 weeks

    My fingers, ankles and feet - 37 weeks

  • My ankles and feet have been swelling off and on the whole time, but have stayed now for a week. Nothing in my face (knock on wood), but my fingers are starting to swell in the afternoons.
  • I have been swelling since 20 wks.  Started in my legs, then my feet, arms and hands.  Of course, I also have carpal tunnel now.
  • My ankles started swelling slightly (if I was on my feet all day) about a month ago.  This week my face is swollen for the first time, and ankles are all the time!   My hands are still ok though, knock on wood!

  • Everywhere since about 20 weeks, it is horrible, I am like a big huge whale. I feel like I have doubled in size and can't wait to see my "real" face again! Hopefully it will all go away right after delivery!
  • Since about 29 weeks.  Significantly so since 33.  Now (at nearly 37 weeks) I'm in my fat ring, wrist braces for the swelling-induced carpal tunnel, and I can hardly bend my hip, knee, or ankle joints.  I'm a disaster, but trying to keep a good attitude.  (And hoo boy, does that third sentence scream "good attitude" or what?  Confused

    Hopefully you'll get to skip it this time.  Good luck!

  • I just noticed it today on my feet/ankles!!!  I am almost 31 weeks...
  • Most of my swelling has been in the past 2 weeks, cankle city!  And I put my wedding ring on just for kicks and it barely got passed my knuckle!  UGH!
