Swelling already

cowscrub · August 2013

Anybody else having late term pregnancy symptoms so early?
I'm almost 18 weeks and my ankles are already swelling. The first time I could understand cause I was on a car ride for 5+ hrs with my legs down. Well I walk daily for work, and the swelling has persisted. I don't eat alot of salty foods, and don't cook with it or add it to my foods.
Any other thoughts or treatments? Frustrated to have cankles this early.
Of my 3 other pregnancies, my last is the only time I developed swollen ankles and only the last month.

I started swelling really early with DD, around 15 weeks. I attributed it to stress and location, I was in FL for a month when usually I'm in CA. I stayed swollen until I went into labor 8 weeks later.

Swelling could mean something bad or it could mean nothing. If you are concerned call your doctor in the morning.

If it's over 70F (which actually isn't that often here), I'm definitely swollen. It's mostly my feet and fingers (both of which are on the boney, skinny side of things). And it's worse if I've been walking or sitting with my feet on the floor a lot. For me, it goes down on cool days or when I manage to find AC so I'm not too worried yet. But if it does get worse, I'll definitely bring it up with the doc.

I'm swelling too. Initially my feet and hands didn't appear swollen, but I had trouble getting my rings on/off and a pair of shoes that used to be too loose (I needed those heel pads in them) were tight.

I got home from work on Monday night and wow. My ankles are normally pretty small and they were very puffy.

I wish I could put my feet up at work, but even sitting down much can be a stretch.
