EXTREEMLY Bloated and only 15 weeks

in 2nd Trimester

So over the past few days I have noticed that my ankles and feet have been retaining water.  Today at the beach I looked down and you can not even see my ankle bones!!  I am very comcernced, especially since my sister got preclampsia in her pregnancy.  I know it is very early to get that but I am still concerned.  Anyone else dealing w/similar swelling early on?

 

Thanks ladies...I am so concerned.

    I had that in the very beginning of my 2nd tri but I noticed it was only when I ate more salt than normal.  I cut back on the salt and I haven't the issue anymore.

    If you're that concerned then call your doctor.

    I started swelling early with this pregnancy, but not that much. If you had sudden swelling, it can't hurt to run it by your Dr.

    Yes of course I am going to call my dr. The only problem is I live in Mass and I am up in Maine on vacation.  I just got here tomorrow.  So unfortunatly I may have to cut this one early and head home tomorrow to see the doc so he can check for preclampsia :(

    I had some swelling and bloating around that time too.  My doctor said it was totally normal as long as your hands and face aren't swollen.  Mine happened at the end of the day after being on my feet for a while. 

    Try to drink more water and see if it goes down in the morning.  Maybe buy a blood pressure monitor at a store near you??  That could help ease your mind too.  I haven't had many issues since about 17 weeks with swelling.  Hope it goes away!
