Swelling!

in 3rd Trimester

Do you Mommies feel like your swelling is even on both sides?

My Right foot is really puffy compared to my left foot. It freaks me out but my Dr didnt seem to be concerned with it in any way.

    I work really long shifts and just recently started swelling, especially after work.  My left foot/ankle is definitely more swollen than my right.

    My left ankle actually swells more than my right does.  But like you my doctor doesn't seem to be too concerned with it right now.

    My right foot is really the only one that seems to swell - doc said it could be because my uterus is tilted to the right, putting more pressure on blood vessels on this side.

    Nope, my left leg resembles the marshmallow man but with spider veins. Oh the beauty of pregnancy. LOL!

    Only my right foot is swollen.  I don't get swelling on my left side.  My doctor said it was normal and could be because the baby is on the right side.  I didn't really buy into that until I had another ultrasound last week and the tech basically didn't move to my left side at all because he was completely on the right side.
