One sided swelling...

Has anyone else experienced swelling on one side of your body? My left ankle and foot are very swollen and my right is not swollen at all. I called and spoke to the nurse at my OB's office and she said this is normal. That the baby is sitting in a way to block circulation to one leg.

Has anyone experienced this before and been told the same thing?

    I've noticed when my ankles/feet do swell (like twice so far...), my right side looks more swollen than my left. I wouldn't worry about it unless your OB is concerned.

    I would caution that though it is most likely just the position of baby, if it doesn't look like it is getting better or if you are in pain, it could possibly be a blood clot in the leg.

    Thanks ladies!

    @JudyBlume14‌ It's my left foot/ankle too!! Maybe I'm sitting funny at my desk too. I'll have to look at that tomorrow.

    @dearfoam‌ That's what the nurse told me too. I feel so weird doing it. Lol. Guess I better just get over it because I don't want to be Lefty McCankles anymore. ;)

    Thanks @an02102. Yea I was reading about blood clots and the nurse told me the same thing. I'm keeping an eye out for any redness. I'm having no pain so that's good too. :)

    @dearfoam‌ Lol. I poke the baby sometimes too. Just feels really physically strange sometimes. And I understand why you didn't mention the blood clots, but with your family, did they have the redness and pain with theirs?
