Swelling on one side of body?

MaggieF516 · May 2012

I was wondering if anyone else was only experiencing swelling on one side of their body? I have only had swelling in my right foot, but not anywhere else. It definitely looks a little strange with one foot normal and the other HUGE. I wasn't sure if this was normal.

I would let doc know just in case, is there any tenderness on that side? in rare cases it coud be a blood clot, i am sure you are fine but it never hurts to just double check witht he doc

I swell some on both sides, but I swell more on my right side. I asked my OB about this at my appointment this morning and he said it was normal and really just depended on where baby was and what he was currently putting pressure on. My baby stays on my right side, so it makes sense that my right side swells more. He said so long as it was still going down over night when I reseted that he wasn't worried about any of the swelling. Thankfully my swelling so far has been limited to my feet and ankles.

Yep, my left foot swells up more than my right foot. My doctor said it's normal. She said just to watch out for excessive swelling in my calves.

i'm in the same boat...swelling (well more swelling on the right side vs left) my dr said that its semi normal nothing to be worried about

I have swelling just on the right side as well. My doctor said it was normal. It is pretty bad with blue veins popping out and everything so I have to wear a compression sock just on my right leg. ha It's great.
