Worried

37 and a half weeks. Swelling and headaches but my blood pressure is great. Should I be worried?

Re: Worried

  • I would be worried, but I'm easily worried. Give give a quick call to your doctor to check!

  • Eh I'm no doctor but sounds normal for this stage. Depends though, how bad is the swelling? Was it very sudden and noticeable?

    either way some swelling and headaches are expected. I'm a week ahead of you and have definitely seen my feet swell up this last stretch! Call your doctor though if it begins to worry you- you don't need the anxiety! There aren't any stupid questions!:) good luck!
  • 36 weeks and just started swelling hands mostly when I wake up and lower legs at the end of day.My blood pressures fine. I was told drink lots of water and elevate limbs. If the swelling does not reduce at all or is painful call your Dr.
  • Yeah swelling and headaches are common. As long as it wasn't sudden. I am getting a lot of Migraines due to lack of sleep... And I dwell everyday thanks to be being on my feet teaching.
  • I am teaching too and have a ton of swelling by each afternoon. My hands are always swollen and sore in the mornings also. I have been told it's pretty normal from those around me, but I am going to double check with the dr tomorrow at my appt.
