Swelling!! Show me your pictures!!

Adam-n-Emily · June 2014

I have been swelling pretty bad this time. However everything is normal as far as blood pressure goes. Anyone else?

Here is a comparison picture of Beginning of day vs End of day

So i would take a before and after, but since I was on an airplane they are already swollen. I will say that my ankles are usually very thin, but this picture was after a 4 hour concert. It's scary how bad they got! Brace yourself.

**Edited: tried to delete one photo, but can't, so quit trying**

These pictures are painful to look at. I haven't had any swelling, hope it stays that way for me.

Hope the swelling isn't causing you too much discomfort.

My feet swell a little by the end of the day, but most of the swelling is in my face. I look like I have three chins.

Oh my gosh that looks so painful ladies, so sorry you're dealing with it. The only part of me that is swollen is right above my pubic bone (midwife says that's due to pressure from the baby's head being down low already), and y'all don't want want pictures of that

I'm sorry everyone.

. It hasn't happened yet but did to me last time starting around 35 weeks. I clearly remember cheering when I could wear and also put on shoes by myself post partum.

Some of these pictures look really painful!

I've noticed my sneakers are tight, and I've given up on real shoes. I notice swelling if I sit with my legs down or if I stand in one place for a while, but chasing DS, and the pool are helping to keep the swelling down.

I wish I had a before picture. Ask my doctor again if this was normal. She said they are fine, but it is driving my crazy! They are red/pink from all the extra blood!

Ouch- it just looks painful. I hope it's not though.

I've had very mild swelling. I'm not sure most people would even identify it but I normally have very bony ankles and feet so it's noticeable to me.

This is me!!!

It looks like fake fatness - Gwenyth Paltrow in Shallow Hal. Mine is now spreading up my legs. Hot!

kshare18 · June 2014

hahah I just call them the pork chops. They don't hurt, they are just ugly. Sometimes I pretend they are painful so my H will walk the dogs

, but they aren't bad.

No pics, but I can't wear shoes for too long, only flip flops. And my wedding rings/engagement ring officially came off on Saturday and are now hanging around my neck.

I already had wide feet and fat chubby little fingers so now it's even funnier looking.

workmm01 · June 2014

I don't know mine kinda really do hurt. They feel bruised and tender. My rings are off too

Has anyone tried compression socks? I'm wearing a pair today for the first time. My lower legs swell from sitting at my desk all day. They were a bitch to put on (because they are so snug and belly is really big), but they are actually really comfortable and breathable. Around this time is usually when I start to feel my legs throbbing and so far so good.

rainbowwillow · June 2014

The strap on my sandal just broke lol

workmm01 · June 2014

Yes I have compression socks. They use to work great, but now my feet don't fully go down at night. I also elevate my feet. It helps, but they just swell up so fast now that I can't really do anything about it.

poofwok · June 2014

My feet only swell up at the end of the day. Doesn't hurt but it's really uncomfortable. I can't believe everything we go through, it never ends.

I just refer to them as my dinosaur feet...no ankles, just craziness. The top of my left foot actually hurts most of the time, I'm assuming from swelling. Ugh. This picture was actually a month and a half ago at a baseball game...they get worse now just on a normal day.

Oh! I'm glad to hear you say that! I have the same problem at my job! But I need to get tennis shoes that fit me first lol

Jillhorner87 · June 2014

This was on a fairly decent day!

lookame3639 · July 2014

I have swelling at night. It's nothing close to you ladies though. Every night i ask FI to push the fluid back toward my heart so I'm set for the next day.

Adam-n-Emily · July 2014

I'm so happy to see others pictures!! I know it is not fun but it is better knowing others are in the same boat!!

Scottwswife · July 2014

I don't have pictures either, but I had to buy new shoes last night for my last 4 days of work. None of my closed toed shoes fit after this weekend. Thank goodness I can wear sandals starting Friday!
