Swelling....ugh!

Is anyone else dealing with swelling in their feet, ankles and legs?  I'm 38 weeks today and the swelling is not fun.  For the past few weeks, I've swollen up at night and by the morning it was gone.  It's not going away anymore and putting my shoes on to go to work is getting difficult!  It looks ridiculous and everything feels so tight it's uncomfortable.  Ugh.  Hopefully I don't have much longer to deal with this....

    I have swelling 24/7! I've even developed carpel tunnel in both hands. It's hell!!! But it will all be worth it in the end :)

    Yep. My ankles and feet look ridiculous. Drink lots of water and try to keep your legs elevated.

    I'm going to walk after work today and I have to wear my Uggs because my sneakers don't fit anymore. Ugh.

    Right there with ya!  Mine started a few weeks ago, and it comes and goes.  Keeping my feet elevated has helped and water, obviously.  it just really sucks that I can't wear most of my shoes!  Let alone, bend over to put them on!  LOL

    My feet and ankles are swollen every evening! My work shoes are too tight, I change into slippers when I get to work each day (desk job).

    I'm there too.  I noticed the other day that I have developed, "cankles!"  My feet are only slightly swollen...but I know they are next.  My ankles are so swollen that they hurt by the end of the day.

    Same! Just started last week, 35 weeks, out of now where! But I'm fine with it. Up until now I've had a very easy pregnancy, so swelling the last month, I'll deal :)
