Hello Cankles!

Looked down at my feet and realized my ankles have disappeared! I was hoping to be a bit past halfway before this symptom appeared. I've been making sure to drink a ton of water, so hoping I can keep it under control!

Anyone else experiencing the cankle movement?

  • Right there with you!!! It only happens when I am at work, not on weekends. (I sit at a desk all day, no circulation)
    TTC since June 2014

    First baby due date: 1/14/16




  • I had really swollen feet/ankles last weekend.  I am confident it was mostly due to poor vacation diet and being in the heat.  I also work at a desk but I keep my feet propped up and take walks throughout the day.

    No cankles here yet, BUT my thighs are out of control. I don't mind the weight gain, I'm growing a human, but I would like to request that it be evenly distributed!

    Same with my thighs. I hate them. I exercise and eat uh... Ok lol. But I didn't expect them to look like this! I know pregnancy means a bigger body. But it's okay to feel uncomfortable sometimes in it.

  • I'm in the boat mostly happens when I've been working I'm on my feet all day I sit down frequently but still doesn't help. My SO really pointed it out to me when he just decided to grab a leg and start massaging one night after work nice gesture but his comments weren't needed "Wow your whole leg has gotten bigger" he got the point to stop making those comments when I told him "what do you want me to do be pregnant or lose weight? You can't get both." Lol got peace and quiet with a relaxing foot/leg massage. Sleep was heavenly last night. I have the sausage toes as well got those really early on.
  • I couldn't get my cute wedges on for a wedding this weekend because my feet are so swollen
  • I am a teacher and I don't do too bad during the day however, after school when I finally sit or get home in the evenings it's like hello balloon feet! My students look at me like I'm crazy when it's my prep period and I've got my shoes off and my feet up, however it has helped!
  • I am a teacher and had poor vein circulation pre-pregnancy. I have found wearing knee high compression hose make a world of difference! Cute? Not so much but they make a world of difference!
  • No cankles here. I have very small/skinny ankles so it'll take a lot for them to turn to cankles but my hands have started swelling already and I don't even bother with my wedding ring.
  • Found a silver lining! Shaving the ankles is far easier without the knobs!
