I'm getting a cankle... That's right, one.

My left leg itched, so I went to put lotion in it, I'm getting a cankle! My other leg is fine. This hopefully doesn't mean my BP is going up... I don't want to be induced again!

the title cracked me up.

Oooh, they say to really pay attention if one leg swells more than the other, could be a symptom of a clot. Not to be a worry wart, but...

I went to the hospital around twenty weeks for some bad looking veins on that leg, they checked it and said everything looked fine. I'm hoping that's still the case. I have it elevated... Not happy about this!

my left ankle swells all the time and my right barely anything. My OB said it wasn't of any concern as long as it did not hurt as that could be a blood clot. Have you tried elevating it, that usually works for me

My right ankle swells up a little bit more than the left, but as long as they're elevated they go down. Hopefully it'll get better for you.

Mine used to be like that, but now I have a matching pair of cankles.

My right one does more than the left, but only when I've been on my feet and it goes back down once I elevate. The MD said it can be baby's position affecting circulation.

I have a cankle as well...just the left one and its been this way since about week 20. My OB keeps threatening the ugly stockings on me if I don't begin elevating it.

I gave in and put one on.
