I have a cankle

I have a had a fairly easy pregnancy so far, so I hate to be a complainer, but... Just noticed last night that I have slight swelling in my left ankle. I asked my DH if I was just imagining it, and of course his answer was, "Nope. You totally have a cankle. Bill Clinton would love you." Lucky for him, I thought this was funny. I am a little bummed though, I had made it this far without swelling, so I thought I was out of the woods. Oh well. I am sure it could be worse. I've been drinking boatloads of water and have my feet propped, but it doesn't seem to want to go away. Maybe I can use it as an excuse to leave work early today?

    I feel you. On the brighter side, its better than having 2 cankles.

    True!  I have had two cankles since about week 28.  And just last week I was diagnosed with platar fasciitis in my right foot (inflamed tendon, hurts to walk on it).  It could be worse!  :)

    LOL .. I love that you just have one cankle. I am lucky enough to have 2 by the end of my 12 hour overnight shifts.

    I'm so glad I'm not alone! I too only have swelling on my left foot/ankle.  It is so bizzare.

    I am lucky that I've made it this far into a twin pregnancy and my biggest complaint is one cankle, but it sucks and it hurts becuase it gets so swollen it makes it hard to walk :)

    Same here- I only get it on the right side.  Doc says LO must be positioned such that she's pressing on an artery somewhere that might be assisting in the swelling, which is why it's only on one side.  I use it as an excuse to sit in my baby pool frequently :D  And do NOTHING housework related.  I think I used it to justify buying orange push ups and popsicles too, though that might've been pushing it :)
