holy swollen feet!!

in April 2014 Moms
I noticed slight swelling in my feet yesterday morning. Was on my feet all day on Christmas basically... was wearing slippers though. At 11pm I take them off and my feet are super swollen, cankles included. Went to bed then & just woke up & checked them. Swelling has gone down a good amount....still slightly swollen & not looking like my normal feet though.

I've heard this happens, but thought it would happen towards the end if pregnancy. I am 24w4d

    I got a little swelling this week when we flew, from sitting for so long I think. If it goes back down when you rest for a while I wouldn't worry. Everyone can get it at different times during pregnancy.

    It could also be Christmas food :-D salt got me good after Christmas eve dinner. My feet were like balloons. Elevate and water to flush it out.

    I had the same thing happen to me yesterday. I wasn't even on my feet all day so I of course got really worried and messaged my dr. I think its all good since mine has also gone way down after sleeping but it may be worth just letting your dr know since it can be a sign of preeclampsia which I am just not willing to mess with.

    Luckily I had an ob/gyn in the house!! He said it was normal, & its a good sign when feet are still pink. With my family here I actually have 5 doctors in our house lol

    Lucky! I wish I had that to ease my pgal brain since I've been much more worried about everything this time around. I will have to check today to see if my feet stay pink :)

    My doctor said that if the swelling occurs rapidly I should contact him immediately. A slight swelling over time should be okay but if it`s sudden and very visible it might be a sign of pre-eclampsia... So my advise is to call your doctor, it could be normal swelling but better be safe than sorry.
    And yes, eliminate salt from your food.

    Just had a pow-wow with the doctors of the house... Got my blood pressure taking and it's perfect, so I know that is a big sign of pre-e. Swelling has gone down over night, but they said that I may have to get used to my chubby feet throughout the pregnancy. Advise is to drink lots of water, elevate feet and exercise to keep the blood flow going.

    I`m glad you`re fine and your BP is perfect.  :-bd
